$3,300 for less than 5 minutes in a 10 year old second rate car? I've heard better deals... still, if I had the money, that would be a hell of an experience :D

You reckon they will accommodate a fat man?

I already have all the downforce I need, I just need to be able to fit in the seat!

tks,

damn thats a lot of money...but its probably the only chance you can get to actually drive a F1 car here in the states. I saw a school with F1 cars in France but they were with some '91 cars.

even a 2nd or 3rd rate F1 car is still 15 - 25 times more car than any of us will ever get to drive.

if I had the means, i'd be all over it.

Sounds great but sorry, for that kind of money I would be expecting more than 4 measly laps.

I would much rather spend $3,000.00 on 66 laps at up to 180 mph

clicky
