It was the "Formula 1 Pirelli Hot Laps" ""support race"". So it was most likely rich boners who fancied themselves racers.

That ol' boy with the dark Aston Martin got a little loose out on track. Never enough to be exciting from the stands, but I bet he ruined some high dollar underwear.

He's fine. It was those dry-fits so it slid right out. Jeeves will wash the car for the 3rd time this week.

I believe said 'rich boners' only get to be passengers. Hamilton gave a few people a lap in the orange GT R. I assume the RBR & McLaren drivers were piloting the others
The white Aston had some mighty squeel-y brakes. All 6 were pushed pretty hard.

Had a (rare) moment of clarity yesterday as I drove home from work. Saw this while sitting at a stop-light and thought, "I want an example of that car, if not that very car itself."

Of course, I will never be able to afford it, but it's good to be clear about one's own wants and desires .... (Please forgive the poor quality of the shot.)

Yup. Those laps were tied to some "Experience" package. $15K I believe they were all F1 drivers. I saw that 720 S drift completely around turn 7. Siick!. The Hamilton laps are on F1's YouTube channel.

Saw a few other videos & looks like non-F1 drivers taking people for laps
Guess it depends on the celebrity, for which driver they get.

I'd rather the 2-seater banshee rip around the track

Hammer.


Friend let me drive his '99 XJR (49k miles), it was my first time driving a Jaguar and this is one of my top favorites from the years. My gosh what a smoooooooth ride. It had the butteriest (sic) steering wheel I've ever felt - such a cushy feeling and he happened to be thinking about selling it..... he said he wanted to keep it but the wifey wanted him to sell...... I couldn't help but be like sell to me so you can enjoy it whenever you need......... what a solid counterpart this would be to the other car, I thought. absolutely loved driving it.

First actual example that I've seen in the wild. Judging from the safety inspection sticker, purchased this past summer.

By looks alone (which I don't mind), but also with that stamped steel chassis, I'd imagine it drives like a bit of a pig on the road.

Those yellow GT2s commanded quite a markup for a while.
Too loud of a color for me, personally. Their blue is pretty bright too.
Shame the Ceramic white is only available on the GT trims. The 2.0Toys only get 4 colors (White, Silver, Black, Blue).

Went to the Japanese Classics open house a couple weeks ago here in RVA. The atmosphere was very...basic, but there were some cool cars.


R33 coupe


JZX90 Cresta


Love JZX90s




JDM ST185 Celica GT-Four


JZX90 Chaser


Spark Silver R32 GT-R...forget Bayside Blue, this is my favorite color for them


DC2 with the correct front end


R33 sedans. I get the hate now

A couple S13 Silvias


RE Amemiya Super G FC RX7 on the left, Evo 1 in the middle, RHD Mini on the right


R32 GT-R and a Beat


A third R32 GT-R, or possibly a very good clone


Some more X90s, all Mark IIs this time. The white one in the middle is a plain old Grande but the black ones are both 1JZ models


This thing had a 1JZ in it


R31

I went to that last year but it was mostly meh. I think I was there for about an hour. But, I did fall in love with this while I was there. I think they sold it a few months ago:

Saw this 600LT in the parking garage at the Peterson. Pretty sure he had every carbon option.

Glad you guys liked that post. I really enjoyed that show it was all 80/s90s themed and lots of people were dressed up and they were playing great music the whole time.

Here are a couple bonus pics
