Saw another story of a driver and instructor killed at one of these outfits in Vegas.

What sort of DE is this? What's a $99 Ride and Drive?

I'm not sure who I want to punch harder, the driver or the "instructor".

I think the 1960's moped helmet kind of tells you what you were in for at the get go punctuated by the helmetless instructor.

This outfit should be ashamed of itself. Horrible instructor (is there a word stronger then horrible because I would use it) + clueless student + 600 hp supercar = $100K in repair bills not to mention diminished value. Bright side. No one was hurt.

Hope the car belonged to the outfit running this and providing the instructor. Serves them right.

Yuck.

If it wasn't for the helmet I would've thought the guy in the passenger seat got lucky and caught a Mac UBER,since the driver was resting his right hand on his knee.

Wow. Worst instructor ever. He should have had him pull that car over and not finished the drive. Luckily no one was hurt worse. Driving on a course with one hand? Unreal.

A Mac Uber. Never thought of that angle. Now that would be cool. Would certainly be able to get the airport quick.

But where do I put my luggage?

It takes all kinds. They deserved what they asked for. Hopefully a lesson to be learned, but I doubt it.

That was just PAINFUL to watch. Saw a video of a guy on the track doing hand over hand in the corners. Also painful.

This is the instruction one gets for $99. Also, for that price, there is not much left to buy a helmet for the instructor. Glad everyone is fine. By the way, brilliant move - hairpin with one hand.
