Ginetta G50 test at silverstone

Postby mark73 on Wed Sep 30, 2009 7:20 pm

As some of you guys know i had a test with ginetta today in a G50 at silverstone on the GP circuit.What a morning it turned out to be,im still buzzing now.The first 30 min sesion with mike(ginetta,s GT driver) was by far the steepest learning curve ive ever had in my life to get to grips with 18in slicks,300bhp, a flat shift sequential gearbox and the smallest steering wheel and fastest steering rack ive ever seen :shock: .Anyway we nearly got the hang of it by the end of the first sesion so the plan was to go out on my own in the second sesion without mike.Long story short,i bumped into patrick from rogue and ginetta allowed him to come out with me in the second 30 min sesion.After the first few laps everything came together and we had a fantastic second sesion playing with some very serious race cars and the G50 showed why it is fastly becoming a serious contender in the likes of british GT and britcar as well as the G50 cup,my arse is just begining to stop twitching now but well worth it :lol:

would really love to rob but it all depends on finding some serious sponsorship, after geting on well with the test i am going to try and do at least one round whatever happens but we will have to wait and see :wink:

John i dot think there is any worries on that score :lol:
