The only thing better than having your own supercar manufacturer is having a private racetrack to drive them on. :D

WERD !!!

I've always had this dream of owning an international airport as a race track !! The real challange would be dodging the mobile aircraft on the runways and taxiways during the race :dry:

Personally, I wouldn't use an airfield, though. Runways are inherently flat, and that's boring. I've got this dream of building a Nurburgring Nordschleife-like "proving ground" track.

Every type of corner imaginable (increasing radius, decreasing radius, varying camber, double and triple apex, etc), with surface changes and massive gradient changes.

My plan would be to build it in a strip mine, so after a 3 km long main straight (which would let any car V-Max given the open, decreasing radius turn that feeds onto it and the fact that it runs downhill for the last few hundred metres) you'd have a speed-bowl like banked Turn 1 so you could keep the foot planted and do 400km/hr around this curve in your Veyron.

That straight would also double up as a quarter mile and standing kilometre drag strip.

If you owned it, you could set your own rules.

The GT-R has the right of way. The Airbus can give way.

Actually, there would be NO right-of-way !! Therein lies the challenge :dry:

It's like what I'd like to do with F1, throw 2 stock Hyundai Excells on the back of the grid to make the racing more interesting !!

      My BMW 335i

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.

      Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.

      I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.

      LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
