Ferrari drive experience in Vegas
My kids have booked me a few laps in a Ferrari 458 Italia in Vegas for my birthday.
Anyone done this? Tips on getting the best out of it? Thanks. |

To get the best out of it:
Hit the closest Ferrari store (or the Wynn in Vegas) & buy: Ferrari hat Ferrari shirt Ferrari shorts Ferrari shoes Then you will look like you DESERVE to drive a 458. Or you might look like a dink . . .  Ian

Do you keep your mouth shut and stay "under the radar", or tell them what you drive and what experience you have and risk sounding like a douche ! |

Depends on who's credit card it goes on?
I had a buddy that did the nascar thing there, he got it up to 130-150 and the instructor said he was barely moving, the car can handle a lot more that that. They gauge you then decide.

Anything that ended with "experience" has always seemed a disappointment on my end. Hopefully yours will differ.

Bring your credit card.
During the orientation, they will tell you that you either need to sign a waiver where you agree to pay for all damage that it done to the car in the event of a shunt, or buy insurance that will provide you a deductible of only a couple of grand. |
