Viento Trackday action?
SCAR - 24/10/12 at 03:51 PM

Has anybody done a track day in their Viento? I intend to take ours out in the spring and whilst I dont think it will be the most nimble thing out there due to its size and the v8 motor I'm not sure what to expect.
I've done a done a couple of days in a pinto powered Westy but that had half the power of the v8 .
Anybody got any video links of a big Viento in action?

Not got any videos... But we WILL want to see yours, so make sure you do plenty of Videoing and put links on here so we can all see it.

Mallory Park 2 years ago - FUN!!!!



Also done Bruntingthorpe which was a blast - got so fast in the back straight that I flung all the magnets off the prop shaft and got into a mahooosive tank slapper in the chicane and ended up in the grass backwards (still finding moss in the car to this day - brings a grin every time).

Just go do it - But watch out for hard obstacles!!

Ive done a couple at brands but no video, sorry.
I prefer the twisty roads of the Alps and Pyrenees.
