Ferrari 70 Years Anniversary Owners Days at Spa
Posted: Wed 20. Sep 2017, 01:03
Today I was at the Owners Days at Spa-Francorchamps. Lots of candy there; two 348C's (including my own), 430C, 458C, 488C, plenty of 458 Speziales, a LaFerrari and two F12 TdF's (and my God those things are fast!).
Did lots of laps with my 348C despite the rain, though it cleared up in the afternoon. The 348 keeps being tricky in the rain...
I also tested the 488GTB on the track; I have a friend who traded his 458C in for a 488GTB. I thought he was mad but now that I tested it I must say...the handling of a 488, despite being road car, is so incredibly good it's indeed comparable to a 458C. Acceleration is like the 458C, the gear shifts are fabulous and handling is fantastic. More aerodynamic as well.
