+1

Im a fan too

 

I am the 599 GTO that was in Valencia. I arrived for the second trackday on sunday, because I was in holidays and I could not come on Saturday.
In an hour trackday, I was continously griving my gto and I did 24 laps in the track. My best time was 1 min 57 sec with Michelind OEM tyres, and wiht all the car settings standard.
I found that the GTO was a car very difficult to drive fast, especilly in the rear axle. When I try to give throttle at the corner exit, the car began to oversteer, so I had to be very smooth with the throttle pedal.

 

Interesting. I tracked my GTO one full day at Spa and was feeling very comfortable with it already after a couple of laps. I share your feeling on the rear axle but only with the car in race mode and trying to push really hard. I did notice that when you get the entry right and floor it not too soon that it gets out of corners mighty fast.

What surprised me most was the total absence of under steer and the power of the brakes.

 

Can you tell me how many laps did you make in Spa?. I ask you these, because I would like that you check yours 599 GTO front disk brakes. I have replaced the brake pads in my GTO after 3 trackdays, and I am a litle worried about the front ccm discks and how the brake pads were exhausted. I show you some pictures from my brake pads and front discs.
I have seen that ferrari in 599 GTO installs Pagid brake pads, and I thik that are the same pads for the 430 Challenge and 599 XX.
I asked to my Ferrari dealer, if this kind of wear in pads and discks, and they told me that was normal, and the problem was mine, because I drove very fast my Ferraris in trackdays.
I have a 430 scuderia, challenge stradale, and a 997 Gt2, all with ccm brakes, and I have only seen this kind of discs wear when I mounted a set of 430 challenge brake pads in my Scuderia, and I saw that this brake pads were produced by Pagid.

Christian. Tu es vraiment un homme fantastique. Supprimer le numéro 20.

On va FAIRE MIEUX
TU NE PUBLIES PLUS AUCUNE PHOTO de la 20 MERCI
sinon jte signale

 

Woow, that looks pretty used if you ask me. I did about 40 laps at Spa but I have to say that I didn't push the car that hard anymore in the afternoon and drove much shorter stints (9 laps in the morning versus 4 laps in the afternoon). Reason: the brakes. The mechanics from my dealer kept checking them and did notice that the brakes were showing more wear that what they saw on the demo 458 Italia. I did start to get some clogged cooling holes but not as bad as on yours.

I've attached some pictures of mine for your reference. They later measured it in the workshop and noticed 4% wear on the front disks and 0% at the rear. One of the mechanics told me that the wear looks similar to the 599XX although not as much grooving in the disk.

My pads are white as you can see because of the heat they generated but they were far away from requiring replacement.

Just for reference: what was the cost to have your pads replaced?

Pas cool et un poil arrogante cette réponse...Tu devrait remercier Christian qui est un passionné et un bon photographe.

Ceci dit la peinture Reventon (pas la Silverstone ou la Ferro mate) qui rend bien sur l'XX à déjà été utilisée sur une Scuderia et une 8C Spider.

 

Quit crying kiddo.
You're on a public forum that is about sharing passion for the same brand.

Christian is indeed a great man, passionate about Ferrari cars, a great photographer and aslo devoted to share them with us.

You, on the other hand, are only complaining.
You are a bratty little boy, enjoying the passenger seat of your daddy's #20 599XX and are not sharing a single bit of info, feedback, experience or anything at all.


Thank you Christian for the pictures. The last #22 is stunning !

 

L'argent remplace le respect la vrais valeur de la vie, mais pour certain la vrais valeur de la vie est l'argent, beaucoup parlent de la fin du monde mais moi je pense qu'on y est déjà vu le comportement de certaine personnes

 

Tu signales quoi mon pauvre? Il avait l'accreditation media, donc il avait tous les droits de faire les photos. Tu ne peux que signaler que tu es un petit ado bien arrogant et qui ferait mieux de se taire car on n'a pas de patience pour des petits peteux.

Si tu as pris les photos de Christian sans son autorisation, lui a le droit de t'ordonner de les effacer de ton site car il en possede les droits.

A bon entendeur.

 

désolant d'être obligé de preciser ce style de chose sur un site ou normallement seuls des amoureux de la marque sont réunis pour partager cette passion! consternant.

Continu chritian!

 

Merci Christian. Belle photo d'une superbe voiture.

I had the pleasure of sitting in an F40 last week and following it on the road for about 40 kms. What an experience. The sound, the looks ... still is and always will be a SuperFerrari, admired by true enthusiasts.

Please keep showering us with your great pictures Christian because you have a lot of hungry fans out there
