Well, you are right guys... But this was a casual demonstration event, the track is relatively small with short straights (relatively slow speeds), there was no racing taking place and most drivers were taking it slow... BTW I particularly enjoyed the sound of the 360 sans helmet... Usually helmets are required in this track, but the rules of this track are rather flexible... (not good for safety)

Nice 360 Modena! In which track are you? Megara or Serres? (Actually i think that you're in Seeres, correct?) Have fun!
Looks like a lot of fun in the 360. The car is quite capable for spirited track touring sessions with a couple caveats: 1. Regardless of track requirements, always wear a helmet. I witnessed a 360 Spider go deep in Turn 12 at RA and end up on its top with driver and his spouse. If it weren't for their helmets, they would have been seriously injured. 2. The brakes on the 360 are one of the weakest components. A lot less pad material contacts the rotors as compared to the F430 and Scuds. Your brakes should be impeccable before any touring track days with a recent brake fluid flush and pads in good condition. Should be at least 5mm thick (new thickness is 10) but a visual inspection of the pads is also required to look for glazing, cracks, and pitting. Brakes will get hot and go soft or fail when pushed hard. A friend had 3 separate soft pedal incidents at RA despite all the things I mentioned being addressed. If you push a 360 hard, you better learn proper brake cooling and a driving line that is easier on the brakes. Congrats on driving your car the way it was meant to be driven
No reconstruction whatsoever... Same old Megara track... At the end of the long straight it is quite bumpy... The rest of the track the tarmac is pretty good though...
I see. Thank you for the info. I had a nasty accident to the back track's straight in 2005 with my M3. A brake failure.....while i was chasing a Radical!! Bad experience..
