    Some nice machines out at the Burrows drive day today, the most significant of which being the pagani zonda (yes, not a Ferrari, sorry Gil) but it was something special, words cannot describe that car its just that incredible
    However I also saw my first F430 today, a black one, and i definitely like it
    pictures attached, hope you enjoy...

    Pagani was on show for the morning, but there was a raffle for passenger hot laps in the afternoon, didnt win though. When the driver left pit lane for the second round of hotlaps, he wheelspinned all the way out in first, awesome sight and sound.
    The F430 came in the afternoon, i dont think it got on the circuit though unfortunately

    There was a myriad of performance cars there today, 3 360, a 355, the 430, some merc amgs, tricked out porsches, a new M5 some M3s, lotus exige, and many others too, one of the best drive days yet with the largest variety of cars

    Couldn't make it yesterday to see the Zonda and 430 - pity. They're a good crew there with lots of interesting things happening.

    pps: Pages yet to be updated with 2003 Duttons (Skyline) and 2004 East Coast Targa (STi). Christmas time will be site catch up time I think..

    cheers,

    Alex.

    So how often are there exotics out on the track at Eastern Creek? I am going to the A1 GP when that is on but was wondering if it is worth heading up before then? Anythin interesting coming up?

    Burrows drive days go ahead once a month at eastern creek, and theres always a fair few exotic cars present (ferrari, porsche etc), and occasionally something extra special like the pagani or an f40.

    Other than that im not sure where else to go, perhaps someone more well versed with the creek can chime in. I think its worth going to check it out and you can probably grab a ride in a passenger seat at some point in the day.

    And i know the A1 is coming soon, whats the exact date?

    Thanks for that j15 I will check out the next Burrows day and see if I can get up there :D
    I have just checked the website and it says that Burrows days are invitation only so how would I be able to get into the circuit to have a look round? Would I need to be a passenger for someone already going on the day?
