Taking My Classic 911 On Track For The First Time

A trip to the Silverstone Stowe circuit with Autofarm to see how it handles

I've owned this 911 for a few years now. I've taken it all over the shop including a trip to Sweden in the winter where I drove it on an ice lake but this is the first time i've taken it on track. The car is a backdated 911SC from a company called Autofarm to 911 S/ST spec. It's got upgraded suspension, brakes, engine, stiffening and a bunch of interior changes to make it better for everyday use. I was really pleasantly surprised how friendly the car was when it was aproaching the limit, not the death trap i've heard of. I think to really have the most fun I would probably put on some tyres with a bit more grip to help with the understeer or go the other way and reduce the tyre sizes all round to allow it to slide around a bit at lower speeds. All in all it was a really fun day and kept up with some faster lighter cars. Check out the video below to see how it went.

I Raced A Citroen C1 For 24hrs At Silverstone

A few buddies and I decided to enter the 24hr Citroen C1 race at Silverstone. Mixed conditions and 100 cars on track meant it was pretty exciting. Unfortunately we had very bad luck with our cameras so the footage is a bit limited. A great event and we are looking forward to doing it again.
