Good evening,

I got an invitation to head down to the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit in mid December to join in with some testing and customer / sponsor laps with Maranello Motorsport and Jocaro Racing, who incidentally look after my car. Unfortunately, the principal of Jocaro, Calvin Pusterla couldn't attend due to other business commitments. He had kindly offered to 'show me the fast way' around the Island and check my times and help my development. Heaven knows I need it.

The Aston Martin GTR looked awesome! - 2009

So with no driving / learning to do, I could freely wander around 'perving' on the exotica in the pits and on the track. Every major motorsport brand was represented even though there was only a dozen or so vehicles present including Aston Martin, Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and a Dodge Viper. It didn't get any worse in the car park, as 'supporting' the dozen or so track vehicles were a couple of Ferraris, a Porsche GT3 (mine!), several Mercedes AMGs, one Lambo Gallardo, the odd Rangie and a new Nissan GTR just to name a few. Sheesh...

This Maserati Trofeo was the LOUDEST on track! - 2009

The Dodge Viper was easily the BEST sounding car on the day - 2009

Although the temperature was in the mid 30s, the cars all ran well and a great time was had by all.

Bye for now, BomberBoy
