BRZ intro @ Zandvoort Circuit Netherlands

Local distributor Subaru Benelux invited dealers, customers and other interested people for an introductory meeting with the new BRZ at the Zandvoort Circuit on April 19th and 20th. Both nights included various elements of a driver training course such as driving an ideal line and car control in wet conditions.

Unfortunately noone was allowed to test drive the BRZ themselves but to make up for that all participants got the opportunity to drive shotgun with a race driver in one of the two present BRZ's for a lap and a half across the circuit. Both cars were completely stock, street tires and all. They drove them like they stole'em and everyone was seriously impressed with the massive grip and cornering. Hard to believe a stock street car can go this fast on a circuit

to Subaru Benelux for organizing this event

Too bad our local boring distributor or dealers would never do something this cool for us.

Thanks for posting the pics, it`s always hard for me to see silver and blue side by side because I was so torn between the two (and still am a little), but I ultimately put a deposit down on a blue one.

Sounds like it was a pretty cool event, wish they would do that here.

Why America no do dis!!!

If our dealers organized cool events like this, we wouldn't be so pissed off at them, that's for sure.

Looks like a very nice track, reminds me of a mix of tsukuba and the hockenheim ring.
