To me a major part of the fun of a track day is getting to 'beat' cars that you know are faster than your own if they were both driven by drivers of equal ability.
This last one I did at Zwartkops was major fun for me.On my first stint I came out of the hairpin just behind a Porsche 928,pulled alongside him on the long right hander ( 140km/h entry )and passed him easily before braking for the next corner off the back straight.Great feeling.Next time out I hooked up with an E36 M3.He was running Bridgestone track day tyres on the rear but Goodyear Eagle F1's ( The latest type)in front.He took me on the back straight because I had a slower run out of the hairpin as I got slowed by a Lotus 7,but was quicker than him through the corner,just about pegged him on the run up to the Table Top ( Hit 165km/h before braking for a tight 90 ) where he proceeded to out brake himself.

Good clean fun with no damage to the BMW.
After that I was chasing down another chap in a Porsche Carrera 4S ( 996 ).He pitted as I was setting him up for a pass...
I don't presume to be any great shakes at the wheel but I just go out there and enjoy my GTV6 and count myself lucky I don't drive some dull as dish water econo box.
