You could say I'm a regular at the track, since I'm part owner of it! You are welcome to visit our paradise island Gotland and take a couple of laps at the best race track in Sweden!

Cool, would love to spend a day at that track

It must have been your smooth and consistent pace that made the Ferrari's driving look less impressive. He went off the throttle a couple of times, taking corners very wide (probably staring in his interior mirror too much ) and then flooring it again. To be fair, a track like Spa would probably suit the Ferrari better. Personally, I don't like it when faster cars drive like that during track days. The MINI's only advantage over faster cars is often handling through corners and accelerating out of corners, so rather frustrating when someone in a faster car is holding you up through the corners.
