Just got back from the airfield - Gustav will be there for another few hours at least. I'll leave the initial conclusions on races + pictures + videos to him. However I can name a few of cars that attended and raced:
- RussRamz M6 Kelleners (sounded insanely loud + nice)
- M5 Kelleners (sounded very nice as well)
- E60 M5 + M5 Touring
- Alpina B5
- M3 CSL
- E55
- CLS55
- ML63
- S55
- S63
- SL65
- Bentley Continental
- SLR
- Carrera GT
- 997 GT3
- Ariel Atom
- Gallardo
- Ferrari 612
- Corvette Z06
- Ruf 996 R Turbo
- Ruf 997 RT12
- Audi R8
- M6 Convertible
- RS4 (old + new model)
- Supra TT

Pretty sure I forgot some...

All in all a very nice day with great (30C plus) weather.

I did measurements on some cars with the Racelogic Performancebox. The accuracy of the box is within 0.2km/h and 0.1 second.
Here are the results of the few cars i measured, the numbers are in this order:
100-200 , 100-250 , Speed after 1200 meters (finish). Temperature was about 30 degrees celcius, quite hot and sunny.

Toyota Supra: 8,4s - 16,4s - 263km/h
BMW M6 Kelleners: 8,7s - 16,7s - 265km/h
RUF 997 RT12: 7,3s - 14,3s - 276km/h
Corvette C6 Z06: 100-200: 8,3s. Then the driver misses the gear change and did not continue the run.

, your Z06 is now tuned?

Don't forget this time to be in 1st gear at 30 mph..
Yup...Intake and tune from Halltech.....not much but makes a difference compared to stock.....And I remembered to start from 1st....still some driver errors.....but it was a very nice day....

It was especially nice to meet RussRamz and his family.....His M6 is brutal and sounds like a volcano errupting.....

It was also very interesting to see the Ariel Atom racing against some of the most exclusive exotics in the world...The Atom is really quick....could only be compared to a motorcycle on 4 wheels.....I ovRussRamztelling his wife that he wanted an Atom for his birthday....I could need one too.....I'd better start to sweet talking my wife.....
