Did one of those supercar driving experience things

Wife got me this as a 50th bday present. it was hosted at NJMP on the Lightning track. my 18yo son did 3 laps in a gt3rs and i got to do 3 in a huracan and 3 in a 488gtb.

I was a bit nervous to be honest and afraid of a slow follow the leader kind of thing but that was not the case. i got a lot of 'more throttle' from the instructors. Turns out i'm pretty darn slow as big fast sweepers require quite a bit more sack than 2nd gear jaunts around cones in a parking lot.

Thoughts after the event-

1-blind corners are ****ing scary as ****!
2-Huracan felt very street friendly in driving feel.
3-I desperately want a 488gtb. Felt incredibly tossable and friendly to drive. And my goodness the sound....

Couple shots i took of a few of the cars there. No governors, no brake on the instructors side, just a fun time. There was also a superbike school on the other track so grabbed a few shots there.

Wife hit a home run on this one. Son and i both had smiles ear to ear. I think someone with track experience might feel a bit constrained but for a noob to track time it was plenty of freedom.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
