Unfortunately the sound quality isn't great, and there's only two other cars on track, but the GT performed very well. Test driver Mark Hales from Octane magazine is a fan of transaxle Porsches. He drove my car and commented how much he liked it.
Every time I drive the car on track I like it more. It's just been treated to new front control arms, track rods, and dampers. I had the geometry set with a little more toe-out at the front. Goodwood is a fast flowing circuit so it wasn't the best place to test the new suspension setup, but I suspect I'll go back to the original because it wandered too much on the straight for my liking.
I managed to overfill the oil the night before and had a couple of very worrying laps with blue smoke coming out of the exhaust when accelerating hard in right turns. Luckily after draining some out, everything was black to normal (ie clockwork).

Great to see the car on track, can't believe how few cars were there.
Let me know when you're out next and I'll bring mine and join you!
