sleg Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I have spent the long weekend putting my Z through its paces. First was a visit to the Ring and the car perfomed perfectly all the way there on the boring Belgium motorways and then onto the winding German roads to the ring, absolutely great fun. Once at the ring the car got into its own, handling is really balanced making me very confident, it has enough power to pull up some of the long straights and is just so easy to drive. I then took part in a track day at Spa. There were quite a few 350z's there (Notre350z i think?) including a Supercharged one putting out 450bhp the track really seemed to suit the car, lots of fast straights and some nice technical corners, I am no driver but the Z just felt so good and with no mods!

Gaz Walker Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 I bet that was fun, I love both those tracks but haven't had the chance to actually drive round Spa yet although have been to the 'ring several times. Get some pics up if you get the chance Quote
MAYHEW820 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 It doesnt surprise me, the Z just has circuit racing pedigree with its design and dimensions. It's no back B road fighter but is well suited to the big open stuff. Quote
Chris`I Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 It doesnt surprise me, the Z just has circuit racing pedigree with its design and dimensions. It's no back B road fighter but is well suited to the big open stuff. Indeedy! Does well around the Evo triangle too Quote
sleg Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 I have the pics and a video now, but I must explain the vid!!!, My co-pilot wanted to know a reasonable time for going around Spa, we were told around 3:30 (Not sure if this is good??) this is exactly the same time as the classic Cheeky Girls song "Cheeky Cheeky!" so our challenge was to go around faster than that, hence the music !! some pics at the ring Sleg Quote
Viper350Z Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Been to the ring a few times now, however that was in my Focus ST. I love it there. Hoping to take the Z out there in July Quote
sleg Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 I am hoping to go back to the ring in August. Sleg Quote
cavey Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 "The Ring" still on my to do list and Spa looks really good to Quote
nothingz Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Would like to know how much to do track day in Spa? ignoring all petrol cost & tyres ofcourse... Quote
sleg Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 The Spa track day was £250 with MLR, superb organisation, excellent group of people, will be doing this again same time next year!! I prefer Spa to the Ring now, I know my luck is going to run out at the Ring soon and getting insurance there is so hard. Sleg Quote
