Copenhagen trackday

Just want to share some pictures from a wonderful autumn trackday with the rest of you ... Organised by ASK (the Automobile Sport Club of Copenhagen) at the swedish track 'Ring Knutstorp'.

FTD was by a 400bhp Nissan Sunny Turbo, and I actually managed a third-best performance in my 2000 GT Veloce. The straights had chicanes because of a serious accident last year, so clipping cones added 5 secs to the laptimes. My best time was 1:28.4; that was actually only 6th-best, but I didn't touch a single cone ... Berties have damn good handling!

Nice shots. Are those 15" wheels with extremely low profile tires?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Pete, yes, it's like a mini-nurburgring

Here's an on-board video from earlier this year ... in the rain.

http://itr.popsmart.dk/reallife/knut...storp_2005.wmv

I taped a Casio minicamera onto the face of my helmet with gaffer tape
It has a 30 seconds duration limit for each take, so I had to press the button whenever I had the possibility - LOL
But I was able to patch up a full lap from the bits ...

No problemo, Mats

Your car (and performance) is awesome ... I'm just a newbie in trackday "racing". Actually the wet day was my first try at "Knutten"

Very nice pictures and video , Per , specially when you think about the way you made the movie

I even downloaded it to put it next to my other track movies for some nice "dreaming away" sessions during wintertime

Saab 9000 steel rims!!! Interesting, do they fit the Alfa hubs without any modifications?
Ciao

No
I had to enlarge the hub diameter ... and actually I also had to turn some conical washers to fit under the bolt heads, because the bolt-holes in the wheels were slightly too big.

But they look good!
And the hubcap fits (well, with a little "persuasion")
