Anyone see this on Yahoo! ? (Exoticsracing)

A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

and their website

http://www.exoticsracing.com/

I'm genuinely thinking about going out to Vegas for a day of fun with the 458 and LP570. I don't think I'll ever be able to own them and it isn't bad considering how much track days can run sometimes.

Opinions?

Those prices are very reasonable. Have you checked out http://www.skipbarber.com?

Their prices are a lot higher but I think their classes are more in depth and you'll be driving cars you could very well own.

That's a whole new topic for us :P . Thanks for the link for the professional driving school, I just would rather experience these super cars right now and later learn the correct way to drive them.

Driving exotics can be very fun, but gefore gushing about how inexpensive it, You're talking $300 for 5 laps of a 1.1 mile circuit. Uh, that's less than 5 minutes of actual track time. That's pricey.

For similar money, you could do an HPDE course, and get 4+ hours seat time with professional instruction.

Fair point but 'm not entirely looking for professional instruction.

As for the money aspect I look at it this way. 50 dollars per lap in a high end 250K$ exotic that I don't own. If I were to buy an exotic for 250$K that first lap would be a 250$K lap and go down lap by lap but not nearly enough to reach the 50$ a lap price.
