Hi all,

I do not posting so often, I apologize for that and, to repair it, here are some pics about my last track day in the Paul Ricard Racetrack in the south of the France. It happens last week. :-D
I went with the CSL but drove the M3 GTS of a friend on track. It was the first time for me driving this car so I compared a lot with the CSL.
GTS is a great car, sort of modern CSL but with much more kilograms :moan:. The engine is great, the gearbox is great but it feels less "easy" than CSL. Of course I was very carefull with it, I drove quite slow because my last wish was to crash it.

I also drive the Mc Laren MP4-12C... I heard a lot about handling and chassis concerning this car... => Everything is thrue. It is just unbelivable :drool:. Never feel it ! Even a Gallardo (with 4WD models) or R8 GT is far away.

Let see the pictures :

Here is Charles Pic. 2012 formula 1 pilot for Marussia Team.

During the way back home, I get the orange engine light who appears on my dashboard. It was during a big rainny period...I guess it is not so important. I will try to erase the message.

Enjoy.

A bit wet ? :banghead:
I drove 2,5 hours under rains (big one !!!) on highway. I thought I never arrived alive :hahaha: because of PS CUP a bit used:clown:.
But fortunatly, no rain during all the rest of the day.
The engine light appears during driving under the rain. Still there but the car works well. We'll see that later :wink:
