Exotic Driving Experience

[Tigman_NS]

Well its been over 2 weeks since this experience has started up and I have been debating on booking this for my upcoming trip in May. I was hoping that one of us Dis'ers might have done it and maybe give me some insight as if it was worth it or not? I've watched the video many times, just looking for some reviews. Thanks

There was some talk about it on Ferrari Chat here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352947

I booked the R8 for our trip in May.

I was a bit miffed that the originally promised Corvette ZR-1 and Porsche 911 GT3 RS were dropped (the GT3 RS in favor of a more pedestrian Carrera S), but my guess is whoever put that list together was told that ONLY paddle shift two pedal transmissions could be used; no three pedal and a stick. So I figured the R8 had the same engine and a very closely related platform to the Gallardo, so may as well save some money my first time out. If I feel like I learn the track, I might put out more $ for the pasta rockets in the future.

I did compare prices to similar events elsewhere, and the prices for the Exotic Driving Experience are rather lower, so it isn't a bad deal. The real catch is that the track isn't too large, so you won't really get to hit warp speed in any of the cars. You will, however, get a chance to wring them out in other ways.

There was a disboards podcast on the subject. Most everything you'll want to know.

Thanks everyone with the quick responses. I will be probably booking this event soon. That's why I love the Dis. Everyone is so helpful

On my short list. Maybe while DW and DD do the tea party at the GF?
