Not sure i would go again unless some of those issues are rectified and that was the impression of other exotic car owners.

Went all the way to see your blue beast and now I see why it didn't run Sunday. Had a quick peak to see the changes it's been through since a barbs track day a few years ago......holy shit your car is crazy, a real credit to you. Vids look great and love the sound of the Fezza on song.

I think there is little to no chance of rectifying the stone issues. Unless they asphalt large sections of the parking areas, return road, etc which would cost $100,000s.

so the stone chips are from cars that get in front of you on the runway surface?

I think the run way and the return strip need to be looked at. The return strip on the sunday was much better, it would not have taken much cost to get a roller, some water and make a section of that hard with no gravel.

The runway even though cleared only once in the morning still had a huge amount of loose stuff on it. I would think it would need to be cleared atleast once per hour or two.

No burke, stone chips from actually running the cars on the run way, is where all the damage occured imo.

The return strip on the sunday was much better but on the saturday was absolutely terrible even at 20 km/h.

if i was told this prior i would have vinyl wrapped the sides of the cars to help stop this issue, but now im faced with the issue of making it look right again.

So what you're saying is Tino, you'd ideally need a blue GC8 with red mud flaps to act as a sweeper car by running over the return road surface again and again to get the loose rocks and dirt away, and to pack down the surface? Like all day on the Friday before the event? With tyres and fuel paid for?

That's why you're telling me?
Reverb and Saint_23 like this.
