...I think this is the Black 993 RSR that 9M have just built at Brands.
Sounds very nice and appears to go well http://www.vimeo.com/2405957

Unbelievebly bad driving from most of the people he's trying to overtake!
Definately some should have been looking in their mirrors . But in fairness to others Callum was on a mission and it would have been quite a suprise to some to see him given his speed differential. Personally I am always unsure about the validity of overtaking on bends during a trackday , can't remember if i've been on a Goldtrack day before but i wonder what he tells his punters about overtakes ? I know Callum Lockie is a very good pedller indeed I just wonder if that sort of driving should be confined to a group session of people with similar abilty. Getting monstered if your a novice must put you off a bit. I am of course assuming that quite a few of those on track with him were novices/ intermiediate level drivers?

What ever is all the fuss about,it all looked fine,brands crapy indy circuit is always a busy place.
Everything looked under control,just that callum was catching up on a few others quicker than what they may have been used to.
The car is a nice car,sounds good,. its not a rsr.

Yep, I agree with Paul, dont see any issue with Callum's driving. Thought the Ferrari driver was a little suspect. I think that the car is a hybrid based on a 993rs. It may have the 9M head conversion and other bits and pieces but as Paul says, it's not an RSR. looks a pacey track day car though
watched this car transform from a dipped bare shell to what it is today, imho its an awesome engineered development,
full credit to Colin and Mark at 9M, and the owner who has spent a small fortune to create what he wanted, it is a 993 rs
with numbers, rsr arches and sills, and a very healthy 400bhp + engine, perhaps a brighter colour would of enhanced the look but it is still simply gorgeous [

spent quite a few hours with calum on various Goldtrack days, would say that he is a great coach and clearly very capable.....sure he is getting close to cars in a few instances but if you don't show intent to overtake how are you going to make a slower, less visually aware driver realise it's time to move over, not to mention the loss of momentum to ensure a safe overtake when the opportunity arises.

Ben where were you last friday,no good karting in sunny Bermuda you know.
Paul please correct me, I will edit, cheers.
Not arguing with his pace or the fact that it is a lovely car, just thought his attitude for a track day (especially his own ....) was interesting. Perhaps something to do with having a female passnger on board.
Its definitely tight for space there and the traffic wasn't the most observant but I would have loved to have been at the briefing when they talked about passing.

was in snowy Canada Paul...didn't want to crowd RivM002 and Vic's style....too much viagra at a track day is never a good thing !
looked like a great day enjoyed by all
cheers.

Looks like the car goes very well. I think Callum was in control.
