O/T - Racing Box Track Days?
Anyone heard of this outfit?
Their website is a bit light on details, but apparently they are the No 1 Racing School in Canada. They are running a WagJag deal for Ferrari F430 and Gallardo laps at Cayuga. Asking for a friend.
Spider senses are tingling on this one. No actual mention of who the instructors are, qualifications, track safety. Half the images on the website don't load. Canadian Price match refers to UK advertised prices. They look more interesting in selling Racing Box branded T-shirts.
Thanks.

Another wagjag in the paper this morning, and Cliff's post was one of the first hits on google. Their website is ridiculously poor, and the Toronto circuit is just called "Toronto". No mention at all of which it is. The QC one is in St. Eustache, so presumably "Toronto" is TMP again. $150 for 1 lap in Gallardo at TMP with restricted speed? Think I'll pass.

Racingbox is No.1 in USA and canada and europe, I've been cheking their website and I love it, maybe takes some time to load as many other websites when are heavy, in my Mac load very quickly.
My experience was just awesome, I went with my family and all of us enjoyed the activity. My son with the simulator and segway and me with the F430. At the begining of the activity, you will know the instructors, safety regulations and racetrack with the 2 discovery laps.
The dealers as yours and groupon do not give the whole information, but you can contact Racingbox anytime as I did.
You definitely must get your voucher to drive, ENJOY IT.

[QUOTE=NITEALB;9699232]found the following video, looks like half the track driven at 1/4 of the pace! rip off!
The track did seem short but do you think the track conditions had to do with how he was driving? I personally have never tracked a car and may be a little timid with the wet conditions.

So yesterday I got to experience what racing box was all about. My voucher was supposed to include the following.
2- discovery laps in a Porsche Cayenne
2- laps in a Lamborghini gallordo
seqway initiation
driving simulator
Well, the driving simulator was a PS3 set up with a steering wheel and pedals. It was probably playing gran turismo but I didn't even check. I got to try out a segway for about 5 mins
. The "discovery lap" was 2 laps around the track in a Lincoln navigator. No Porsche Cayenne.
The driving experience was fine. The cars were not governed but we did the short track which I believe was 1.7 km. Because of the short track I didn't even get the car out of second gear. When I shifted gears the car would do a nose dive as if I let off the gas. The interior was beat up and the exhaust would crackle like crazy after shifting. Needless to say the experience was sub par. At least I can say I drove a Gallardo. I got a couple of nice pics with the car. Oh ya, I got a cool certificate that say's I completed the racing box exotic car driving experience
I then got in my Porsche and had a fun drive home 
.
For a $150 I'm not even sure it was worth it. It would have been way better if we did the long course.
