friday 15th Feb - Mallory Park - My first run in a G50!

Ginetta had Booked Mallory park for 2 days of testing. Track time was split between Juniors (on half term) and G50's. As the first 6 customer cars were delivered and were testing Ginetta allowed other customers to try the factory car.

I was given twenty laps in the prototype G50 this morning and I have to say I cant wait to get mine! The car is very well balanced and has a tendancy to 'porpoise' a little, very much in the same way that a porsche GT3 does.

My best lap in the factory car was 50.2 seconds. About 1.5 seconds off of the fastest laps set by the other drivers who had been in them for a day and a half. Given a full days testing in my car I should be on frontrunning pace.
