Yes there is a red 512TR way in front of me but it is one lap down, as usual! | ||

Paul's 308 is lovingly nicknamed "the woodchipper" due to unique sound created by the straight cut racing gears. | ||

There was also a red 512TR in the photo, but it's soooo far ahead of Paul it is out of the frame. | ||

It wasn't a Ferrari event - it was a school at the Driver Development section of Mosport - not the full track. We were filming a few shots for a training video. The couple that run the show - Linda and Ian Law, ran a great day.......lots of track time - reasonable fee. Paul - GREAT SHOT - your car is fabulous....even if not yellow | ||

Nika, I drove mine on the track for the first time at Moroso and I will never miss another chance to track her, In fact it was so much fun that I decided to give her some more power for the FOC Homestead event in Oct., she will have in excess of 400 HP and still be an every day driver.  | ||

All the guys call their Ferraris "shes", Nika's is a "he". Just a funny observation. | ||

I know .... I was soooo against taking my baby on the track - today was 100 degrees too. But I did and I must say he impressed me. The handling was better than I expected - not too much roll - braking great and although I never got all corners done to a science I hel d my own. I would of NEVER thought my 308 could be so much fun on the track. I can't wait for the next event........I'm hooked!!!!! |
