Will there be cameras? That's a serious question -- you don't really see DIY GoPro footage around from these kinds of days.

What's amazing is that Enzo had a picture of Gilles Villeneuve on his desk!! Wow, I would have never beleived it. Gilles died in 82 and Enzo in 88, does this mean he had this picture on his desk all this time!

56 seconds into the video

Ted,have fun with the F1 drive, very jealous!!

Very tempting. I think this is worth $10k and the extra $ for the extra laps, especially if total damage liability is limited to a decent max (say, <$10k). Definitely a bucket list item.

No no

I think my savings don't even come close to 1% of what that guy in the video has.
Way out of my league I am afraid.

This is the guy:

http://www.martinorosso.com

Made his fortune in the insurance business, and now enjoys life to the fullest. He has a nice website where you can follow all his Ferrari adventures.

Pretty cool if you ask me.

I gotcha for mid 44's if you've got time to get some heat into the tires (supposing the car isn't neutered.)

The tires better come pre-toasted. Warm-up laps are pricey.

Buying one is one thing. Maintaining it is going to be another. Sign me up for a late 70s car where most everything was still mechanical. It would be great fun learning to use all those controls though.
