One might say Frankfurt is about efficiency/technology and Goodwood is about performance...the displays at Goodwood exceeded the German show a good margin.

Coolest thing:



New Lambo?



Is that a wing?:



Sat in an NSX (likely the closest I will ever get to one):



10 piston caliper brakes:



and since I was none to far from the Ring...hoped to do a few laps on a quiet weekday...unfortunately, it was not quiet, but medium in activity. Precluded any clean laps...ran a couple of 8:01 B to G rounds...perfect conditions otherwise-55 degrees and blue sky.



Unsure if the rear tires are not the same stick as the fronts or the front end is sticking better than the rear now with -2.2 camber, but the car had a bit more tendency for oversteer (minor). The cooler weather kept engine temps to 212 coolant and 268 oil. Sliding thru a few corners makes one smile...

Drive home was uneventful and without traffic surprisingly. The Camaro pulled a couple of 250+ KMH runs...fuel mileage is atrocious as one can imagine. The Ring laps were 5.3 mpg!

Continue to marvel at the car. The limits are so high...exceeds my capabilities by a good margin. Will take some laps to reach a level I'm comfortable on the Ring.

It's really cool to see how much you're enjoying and appreciating your 1le considering how things started a little rocky with the whole airbox debacle.
