I was lucky and got to drive a 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 around a track a couple of days ago. I got to do 5 laps. The first two laps the instructor was telling me what to do. The last 3 laps he only gave minor advice. It was a great experience. The experience may have looked like FM6 but feeling the acceleration, braking and turning of the real car is priceless. I also gained a lot respect for race car drivers. I knew that they had to be in good shape to drive like they do. I just didn’t realize how good of shape. I only did 5 laps but it was a workout. I was feeling it the next morning.
Driving a fast car around a track can now be scratched off my bucket list.
Doesn’t mean it only has to be the one time. You can take your daily driver autocrossing for only $50-$100 a pop. Come on join the addiction! (What track BTW?)
I know it doesn’t have to be a one time thing. It was on my bucket list but I used that term because of FH2.
I really shouldn’t have used the word track. Course may have been more appropriate. It was at a closed military airbase about 50 miles from where I live. They set up a course there with cones. In some ways it is similar to the Top Gear track. The course even had a turn that resembled the hammerhead.
I’m looking at driving a Lamborghini Huracan at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. It costs a little more than what I did at the airfield but I guess they’re worried about you hitting something. At the airbase, if you went off course you would be on the grass. The only thing out there to hit was the cones.

My wife made me a present for our 5th anniversary,the so called “Dreamcars Experience”,starting/ending at Las Vegas Motorway.

The cars been Lambo Gallardo,Ferrari 599,Audi R8 and a Dodge Viper… nice experience and real funny.
