There are several aero panels on the underside of the car, all designed to work with the active front splitter and rear diffuser.

(Looking towards the rear of the car)


I like the pairs of vanes either side of those boomerang-shaped slots ...

Lovely detailing.

I'm sure I could scrape the lot off by the end of the week, though.

Michelin Pilot Alpin 4s getting fitted on Saturday.

A lot of the "tyre hotel" or storage options require that the tyres are bought from the outfit storing them, so I instead shelled out on four of these tyre bags (at £8.99 each) and will keep them in the garage, to which I'm having an electric roller door fitted in early January. Switchover costs are less than storage. It's all happening ...

They ought to make it fun - all wobbly and sideways at comparatively sane speeds.

Winter tyres are a lovely thing to hoon around on - the tread blocks are nice and squdgy and give you a lovely safety net to play with.- not sure how that will translate with the levels of HP you have If i hadn't already said, what a cracking choice of car!

Great choice of car, and has unique development roots according to reviews. Definitely on my wish-list in a couple of years!

Final clip from me for the time being. This (Czech?) Giulia keeps up with, and probably could/should have passed the GT3 he encounters at the halfway point. (Also look out for his wee "moment" going through Schwedenkreuz!)


I'm definitely lined up to go back to the Ring in May or June so can't wait ...
