Not a Nissan, but still pretty cool

Went to Las Vegas Speedway today, and drove 5 laps in a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

Small clip, turning onto the straight.
Was a lot of fun!

And the in-car video of the 5 laps.

How did you get that chance? Who did you blow?

[bigbadberry3]

Was this through ExoticsRacing the company? If so hw would you rate the experience I was thinking of doing this with the 458?

Yes it was.
I enjoyed it a lot....
They really try to get you to push the car hard, not just limp around the track (although it seemed like some people did anyway!)
If you want to drive an exotic, and believe you will never own one yourself, this is definitely a good way to get behind the wheel of one.
If I come back to the US in the future, and pass through Vegas, I think I will do this again.... but with more cars!

I would drive that thing like it was my last time ever behind the wheel. I iz jelaous.

oh s***, if you're in Vegas, go to one of the gun ranges and rent an MP5 to shoot!

actually, screw that German stuff.

find a Thompson! You need to shoot a Tommy gun before you go home.

[alms24sebring]

Awesome. Next up, GTR. So uh, whats the insurance rate on that?

Thats hilarious. If I were to ever do that, it would my luck that I just so happened to be with that guy that rampages.

[Dattebayo]

$150 just to shoot a few guns is a damn rip-off...

^agree to disagree

Now added in car video to first post.

"Different side of the caah"

I was thinking that the whole time. It definitely looked like you were clipping the LH apexes much tighter than the RH. Still, it also looked like you were pretty much the fastest guy out there. Some of his directions got somewhat annoying after a while. I probably would have asked him to be quiet, or just read me the turns like pace notes, not tell me when to brake and accelerate.

[Ozzie]

I probably was one of the fastest out there, except for the porsche GT3 RS, which was driven by a pro.
That Porsche is for the ride alongs. His whole job is to take people for 2 laps at a time, and scare the excrement out of them.
Most of the time, I was worried about hitting the other cars, and concentrating on what he was saying.
When there was a traffic jam, I got a bit flustered.
I would have preferred to brake later and harder for the turns, as you can tell from the instructor comments, also use the car more, but I guess they have to be a bit conservative.
I think they would go a bit easier with the instruction, if you did more laps.
It was still a lot of fun.
(There was a point on the first lap, where he kept telling me to accelerate, and I had my foot down, but it wasn't doing anything..... I wasn't turning, wasn't sideways, or spinning the rear wheels.... not really sure what happened)

Drive by wire garbage perhaps?
