After racing a few times in an LMP3 car- this was actually really fun to drive once you get passed the whole "it's worth 15m" thing...but the car really has a lot of grip- the Michelin rains are incredible. Tire warmers etc.

The downforce is so insane that we pulled 4G's in a few corners (flat on throttle in 6th)

I'm about 60% through a really long writeup and will post along with more behind scenes and vids including how hard it was for me to exit the car without taking off the wheel. I'm 6'1 190 and it looks like the fat guy exiting the McLaren youtube vid...
Just THAT comment above was incredible. Can't wait for the rest.

Unbelievable. As I noted on IG, really looking forward to your analysis of the experience. 2g on accel. On wets! Damn, what’s an F1 car pull? Some big numbers for sure.

I can only only imagine the size of the shoehorn they used to get you in there. Just knowing how uncomfortable I was at 6’2” in a 570 S in a helmet, it must have felt like a coffin, lol.

Thanks as always for sharing.
