Rachel Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 [ATTACH=CONFIG]48923[/ATTACH] I hope yours doesn't see the wheel, paint and underbody damage that the red spyder Hamster drove in the latest TG episode did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 No post from Wopps in 48 hours - I wonder if he is explaining things to Torquay magistrates this morning The underbody damage shown on TG was quite surprising. If the other two cars covered the same gravelly area at similar speed with no ill effects then that's a rather poor show from the Fezza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Tarmac? I take it you have never driven an airfield? Total killers of everything but planes, especially ones that have been deserted for 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Not so much tarmac as grit and sand with a high salt concentration. And very abrasive surface apart from the smooth tarmace bits in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Not so much tarmac as grit and sand with a high salt concentration. And very abrasive surface apart from the smooth tarmace bits in the middle. It was the same for all three cars though so I guess the question is why the other two didn't suffer similar damage.

garcon magnifique Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 The Macca suffered some, seems the Audi didn't. Better galvanising/sealant underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 It was the same for all three cars though so I guess the question is why the other two didn't suffer similar damage. Maybe less plastics and more alloy in those parts? Don't know. Either way hardly a real world test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the show last night, first time in a while. I think it just goes to prove that the best car is the one that makes you smile the most....

Tipex Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Either way hardly a real world test. I'd like to think it's real world(ish), otherwise what is the point of owning such cars if you don't use them in anger on deserted airfields/tracks etc? They make awful town cars for popping down the shops or taking the kids to school etc. Granted, a normal airfield track day wouldn't be quite like that one in terms of the amount of dust and grit. Whatever it says about Ferraris build quality, the fact they all chose it at the end makes it largely irrelevant anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I did an airfield trackday in my Csl many moons ago, didnt fair well at all. I really would not recommend anyone does these, lightest you will come off is with a lot of stone chips on front body work and windscreen. Tracks are much cleaner, unless you venture of piste...

Andrew Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 They didn't say anything about him munching the alloys or anything - from the way they said it, it was down to the airfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
