This is part 3 of my track day experience, you can read part 1 here, and part 2 here. I was due to drive the Ferrari F430 Spider convertible, but unfortunately due to timings I couldn’t actually make it for this one.

Both a Cup and a standard version will be available, with the former being kitted out with a limited slip diff to help in the corners.

Unreliable, massive and thirsty, the Lagonda wasn’t a huge success, yet because of the unique nature of the car it remains to have some fans to this day. The new […]
