There is a good article in the August Top Gear magazine about this.

Should definitely test your cajones!

Lol, I'm sure it will be almost the same! And cost about the same should you need a new front wing or something.

Seriously, have a great time and let us know what it's like! I'm jealous thinking about it.

Do you really want to bang a supermodel? Going back will be very difficult.

ENJOY!

Wow! Really cool but the $7k-$10k price tag is pretty high. Good luck and enjoy! Hope they put super super super soft tires on it as I heard you have to drive fast to have grip and in order to have grip you have to drive fast!

There is another company offering rides in Maldonado's 2014 Lotus for $500. Just needs a little buffing.

No worries. They put a (minimum) speed limiter that prevents you from driving slower than a certain speed, so there's always enough down-force.

The more I think about it, the more that's worth $10k.
