Line up didn't change much. Just added Gallardo SuperLeggera since Jan. I missed the Aventador by 1 day and MP4-12C by a week.

Outside track is definitely more fun than the inside one.

Are you allowed to take a GoPro on the rides?

I'd heard about this place but never did find out the name until now. I think I'm going to head down there once breakup hits and spend a bunch haha. Which cars did you prefer since you've gone twice?

I'd really like to try the GTR since that is really the only vehicle that is remotely in reach (well not overly!).

Was that in Vegas? I'm heading there in a few weeks and I was looking into it!! How would you rate it?

No. They say insurance reason but I'm sure because they charge $79 for their own video system in SD.

I have driven 458, LP-560, GT-R, 997, R8 v10.

458 is the best of the 5 hands down. Loads of power and handles great.

R8 V10 is ok. Drives very similar to my S4, just sounds better. The R-tronic is very odd to adapt to. It seems to choose whatever gear it think is best.

997 handles well and it's a fast car if driven right. Very fun.

GT-R is a surprise for me. While it is capable and fast, it does not feel as sophisticated as the Germans or Italians. Feels raw but also very forgiving in corners. Very easy to drive fast.

My advice is 5 laps (roughly 3mins) is barely enough to get to know a car. Especially on your 1st few laps on a track that you have never driven on. I wasn't hitting all the apexs right til my 3rd or 4th lap of the day.

I don't think I can ever afford an Ferrari. But R8 and GT-R are somewhat dropped on my list. Now I really look forward to owning a Carrera one day.

Oh, they now also have Porsche GT3 RS as a ride along car instead of the z06 earlier in the year.

When I went I tried the Scuderia and the Superlegerra. I expected them to be similar, but they were very different.

That was the day Lamborghini died for me. I used to hold the brand high up, but now it's all about Ferrari!
