458 Challenge vs GT3 vs Mosler Photon etc.

Had a very interesting experience at a track day earlier this week. Day was limited to a small handful of cars which included a GT2, GT3, 458 Challenge, Aston Vantage Race car and a few other similar road & race cars including a Mosler Photon road car.

The Mosler just blew them all away............on road tyres.

that doesn't surprise me at all; I've seen a Mosler destroy an LP640 in a straight line like it was standing still.

very underrated cars IMO.

That would be a very good description on the way we just drove around both the 458 Challenge and AM Vantage (both on slicks).

I'm impressed, it's really not easy to beat slick tires!

Boxer, do you have any videos of that? It must have been pretty amazing to watch those cars on track! Did you drive there as well?

The only videos I have were shot from the pit lane wall. In car video was not allowed.
