Exotic Racing This Weekend
As my 40th Birthday present my wife bought me Exotic Racing time at "Exotics Racing" in Vegas. It was a great weekend.
I got to drive/race a new Porsche 997 and a new Ferrari 430 Scuderia.
The 997 was so fun over 420hp, but the Ferrari was ungodly. Well over 500 hp. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.
It was Funny how some of the guys in the parking were asking me questions about my 928.
The cars were a blast to drive but I love my 928. It is so much more comfortable to drive and is an awesome car on its own!
Here are the photos of the two cars I drove. They had many more to choose from but I love Porsches thats why I picked the 997.

They actually let you RACE each other in their cars? Like door handle to door handle passing in corners and such? How much does that cost?! Bet they bend a bunch of REALLY expensive cars if that is for real!
World Class Driving has a big Ferrari Challenge car driving program, but I don't think they allow any non-point by passing, so it boils down to a DE in someone else's very expensive Ferrari...sounds good to me actually, but at $4k a bit out of my price range!
Regardless a day on track driving a 997 and a 430 Scud is better than most any other day you are likely to experience in your life (well, in mine it would be anyway).

You don't race against on another you are on a track with others but you are all pretty spread apart. Attached is the Video.

Don't make too many mean comments. Its hard to get into a supercar paddleshifter from an automatic 928S4.

Cool. So basically it is a DE with someone else's bad A$$ cars! I like that!!! You need to try that with your S4! I have over 10,000 DE miles in my S4 and a couple of Auto-X and a Time Trial (I took 3rd in class) and 20,000 instructor miles in the right seat. I would love to wring their cars out a bit!
