Default racing in Austria

hello from Germany...
after driving 200 miles to Salzburg from Germany, me and a friend took some race driving training with an excellent German instructor and then hit the track..

going up against a 350Z and a Porsche 911 Carerra 4


with a 911 SC and an Audi A4

chasing after a Ferrari and Porsche while being corralled by a Ferrari Modena

Overall a great,fun, but rainy day in beautiful Austria.
Its truly a pleasure to run with exotics on a great track.

if you ever visit europe,look up this site..

Not a bad day with a 93 C4 with an automatic transmission.

drove 200 miles back home to Germany in three hours(!) averaging 130 MPH on the way home

Once again, good work Pete K..
and Blue Wasp..the brembo's performed flawlessly too.

I have Kumho Ecsta MX's in the front (255 40 ZR 17)

and Sumitomo HRZs in the rear on 17 x 11's...(315 40 ZR17)

I had Kumho's all around with 285's in the rear and used that setup in Italy..would have done the same if Kumho's made 315's!! I love those tires...
