348 in Sepang F1.......

I took my car 2 weekends back to the Sepang F1 track near Kuala Lumpur and thought I'll share some of the photos with you guys......track was wet in some spots of the track (it rained in some sectors and some areas were dry! Sepang is well known for being unpredictable!) so i did not dare push her to the limit!

indeed it was! there were two 348s that day including mine...... well the car behaved very well on the dry areas/turns.....the thing I realised is that the car has a tendency to snap turn when pushed at the bends which were wet ie. the cross over point between understeer to oversteer is a very thin line...of course i'm not an expert track driver by any means and i prob just need to learn a lot more plus my rear tire wasn't brand new so it was twitchy on the wet bends and had to be very gentle on the throttle....... bends #14, #2 & #9 were the greatest challenge for me.......

indeed they are.....no issue at all....no clearance or rubbing issue on the track at all....the only time there is some rubbing at all is on the general roads/highway at speed when there is a sudden depression on the road (not a pothole but you know when the road suddenly "drops") it might rub for a split second during those occasions (which is a very very rare occurrence)

 

indeed it was......but i am not a track driver.....i just tagged along for the fun and have a long learning curve tracking.......

ps: i did inform the spider owner that his rear wheels were on in the reverse!!!

well they do it from time to time.....the FOCM (Ferrari Owner's Club of Malaysia) is pretty active and have track days from time to time....however this particular event was sponsored and organised by a tuning company...so most clubs were invited.... it wasn't expensive at all to participate (we were provided with excellent lunch as well).....however it is "expensive" when it comes to tyres!!! and brakes!! clutch perhaps?!!?! ;-)

 

thanks mate....they were sprayed Gun Metal Grey by the guy i bought it from......
