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 !!

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
