Fantastic
handling, great brakes & superlative engines combine to make a
car that is very happy & capable on the racing track. The fact
of the matter is that in most cases, the capabilities of the car far
outweighs the talent of the driver. In order to correct this imbalance
slightly, and learn more about the Alfas abilities at the limits of
adhesion, I will shortly be participating in a series of Alfa Club
events meant to supply just that education.
Although an
unmodified GTV6 will perform beautifully, I have decided to make
a few changes to mine to tailor it more to the racing track environment
& to suit my personal preferences. You can find out more about
these changes on the Mikes GTV6 Page. (opens in
main windows frame)
The point of
this series of pages will be to detail my experiences (& post
cool pics) of the various driving schools and time trials I plan
on attending - so check back every so often to see if a new page
has been added. If any reader of this page would like to contribute
photographs and text detailing one of your experiences at a competition
driving event, in any Alfa, please contact
me.

Lap of Laguna Seca Race track. I had a video camera
installed in my GTV6 when the Alfa Club visited Laguna Seca for
a time trial last year. This footage was taken during the
timed laps when my driving was a little, umm, ragged at times...
This is in AVI format so you probably have the necessary player
already on your computer. If not, you can download a player
here:

Please note that the file size is about 11Mb and will take about
38 minutes to download if you have a 56K modem. Sound is
included (of course!). The picture below shows the GTV about
to enter the famous corkscrew section which is better than any
rollercoaster!
