Re: Mclaren 765LT
RC:throt:RC:Grant:For me, I get the most fun when playing with a car at the limit. It’s not that important to me where that limit is (even fun at very low speeds on slippery surfaces at low lateral g’s)
It is important to me that the car is super responsive to my inputs with lots of feel and feedback - makes dancing near the limit much more satisfying.
Playing at the limit in a Turbo S on public roads is usually pretty irresponsible or worse - I know I couldn’t do it safely in almost any conditions.
I did a lot of dumb stuff in my cars when I was younger and I have to say that on public roads, the stupid stuff has basically disappeared. Mostly because I am more mature now and understand what can happen but also because of experience and...why should I lie...fear. Yes, I am scared to do my stunts on public roads anymore, actually anywhere, probably really has something to do with age (and a certain cost perspective ).
As you gain speed you think of your kiddies. Suddenly becomes not worth it
Actually I was talking about money... My last serious track experience left me with a 4000 EUR bill...I needed two new rims (this happens when you slide through gravel and it is so bad that it cannot be repaired). Not worth it.
Also, most of the track experiences I would be interested in are way too expensive, they start at 5000 EUR and more, I really need the money for different stuff, not willing to pay that much anymore to make my ego happy.

I thought we was talking about giving it the beans on public roads. I do, now and again, when super safe.
Track days, still have not done one. Batters the car, you can really spot a track slag against a non one. I would rather pay 5k for a day and use ''their'' car.
50k for one day, wtf is on offer other than tracking - hot women.
