in Cars, Ncars
I was supposed to be in Taiwan this week, but due to weather we had to postpone, which turned out great because this gave me a chance to attend a private track day and try my 650S on the 3 mile track to see how it would do. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling at my top that day, so my driving was inconsistent and I never got a full lap where I did everything right, but I still got to try the car and managed a few 2:01 laps (my timer said 2:00 once, but it looks like it was wrong).
The organizers are also in the habbit of doing some drag races to compare cars, and it turns out that I won against a F458 Speciale, Aventador, and 650hp racecar :) (actually I lost to the aventador once when I started in the wrong gear, but won best 2 out of 3):

Before lunch time, we lined up for some drag racing (from a running start):

In the afternoon, I tried to rest a bit to be more focussed, and as luck would have it, I again scored my best lap of the day on my last session, just before having to stop due to having melted my rear brake pads :)
Thanks much to the organizers and participants, it was great fun.
