Rob Gaskin Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Dad just phoned to say he was watching a programme on TV I would be interested in. Only caught the last few minutes but: On TV Channel 'Dave ja vu' at 12.30pm (lunchtime) TODAY is GT Academy featuring 350Zs and GTRs. Drivers battle to get a place in a race team! Also repeated TONIGHT on Dave at 7.30pm. Apologies if this has already been posted but haven't time to look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 it was on over the weekend and these are the re-runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks for the heads up. I read about it in this months TG mag. They take guys who are sh*t hot at driving games and train them up to be race drivers. From a big group of people, they whittle it down to 2 where they get to compete in a proper race. Will be interested to see it in video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Gaskin Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just seen it and it is worth watching. By the way I was at Donington yesterday in my 240Z and it pi**ed-down all day. Last week sunny, today sunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi Rob, Nice classic Zed there Are those tyres road legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I like the 240. That is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Gaskin Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yes the tyres are road legal, they are Yoko A032 and A048. Lotus use 48s on the Elise. Basically they are like modern motorbike tyres (cut slick style). They are better than you might think in the damp because of the soft compound. Not very comfortable though - noisey, pull the steering on my 240 (white lines etc) and pick up stones and grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
