    How about maintenance of the 458 Challenge. Same intervals as the street cars?

    No. Substantially different (read ... shorter and more expensive).

    Started the new season with a 2 day out at Spa. Completed 132 laps. Dry for the 2 days. Great event with Curbstone and Gran Turismo from Sweden.

    Thought I'd share this picture. Braking into La Source.

    Never had a bad experience with me, myself and I (track day support crew) 458 CH runs like a top and set-up is simple.

    Hi Martin,

    The 612 is being used on a regular basis and living up to the expectations. Wonderful GT with a great V12 in it. Great for long drives and plenty of power and the looks … well, she ages really well in my opinion. Classic design.

    '12 model? Funny, he looks like just a puppy with those big paws.

    PS: nice car in the background!

    Thanks.

    Never came to think of it but yes … as of this season the Challenge does sound better than an F1. Hell … my 599 GTO is pure heaven compared to F1 ;)

    Congratulations. The C is a blast to drive. First experience or had race cars before?

    Have fun out there.

    Nothing like a Tipo F140C V12 @ full wail, best sounding motor in the world.

    Not first; GT3RS then 430CH with aero prior to the the 458CH
