F360 vs 996 turbo

ORIGINAL: sawood12

To be fair with the F40 driver being in the left seat, with his helmet on and the Lotus in his mirror blind spot I doubt he stood a cat in hells chance of seeing the Lotus, and with it being a hopelessly optimistic overtaking attempt he certainly wouldn't have been expecting it. He probably wasn't even aware it had happened at all until maybe he saw the clip for himself.

Regional and varying trackday etiquette is one thing, but a driver nearly T-boning another simply for bragging rights down the pub is a bit out of order considering you're not supposed to be racing and people are primarily there for fun.

Big respect for the guy even being there in his F40. Most F40's hardly see the light of day and spend most of their time being locked up in dark garages.

Yeah I suppose the left seat thing may have obscured his view of the surging Lotus, and I agree that on most trackdays that was a no no but I also don't think there was any chance of a collision. The Lotus went for it, saw that the F40 didn't see him and just applied a bit more brake.
I wish I could see an F40 on the track too. If I owned one, I'd not baby it around though. I can't stand the idea of owning such a drivers car and mollycoddling it but that would be based on me being rich enough to afford repairs to my fantasy Ferrari....which I'm clearly not. [:D]
 
I don't know where on the wish list of my fantasy garage an F40 would be, but it would be in the top 20 if not the top 10. I'm not much of a Ferrari fan, but the F40 or 250GTO would be the first if money became no object.

It was a number of years before I even saw an F40, but a few year ago at Le Mans I was having an omelette at a cafe in Arnage with some mates and we observerd that we could see 3 of them parked at different spots down the street. On the same trip a mate pointed out "you just don't give a 360 a second glance anymore" [:D]
