But not in the CC....

In the barchetta....absolutely superb for a standard car....yoko AD08 tyres on the front..handled like a dream ..could really push hard, left foot brake to control the back and best of all brakes superb ..could outbrake nearly everything with it being so light and I just have ferodo DS2500 front pads...the coupe only lasted around 2 1/2 laps and the brakes were gone even with yellow stuff pads.

Excellent wee cars, handle extremely well. Nice pics. Pity I can't get sticky Yocohamas in AC sizes.

Lovely pictures and a nice track in Eddie Irvine Country. Had the pleasure of driving that track in several different vehicles when I was working in Dealership training for a couple of Car Manufacturers a few years ago. The roads around the area are stunning too.

The Barchetta is an interesting choice for a track day anyway, looks good out there.

I had a Punto HGT some years back, not sure quite how similar it is to the Barchetta, but I believe there is a bit of a part share. No chance i'd have taken that on a track, but then the electric power steering had a habit of failing mid-roundabout - and then you realise a Punto can actually be quiet heavy ;)

Never thought about a Barchetta as a track car, I am tempted to pick one up for those sunny days now the Spyder has gone

I have Ferodo DS2500 pads all round, FD stainless steel hoses and Motul RBF600 fluid on the GS - massive improvement over standard.

It actually shares quite a lot, I also had an HGT a few years ago.
