A real F1 car with like 300 hp. No way they'd let any one in a 800hp F1 car go balls to the wall. Because you will end up in the wall.

Also for that price you could drive a NASCAR like 280 laps at a driving thing.
Edit* Or run a Mustang race car at NOLA for $500.

I have a friend who just did the Stock Car thing. They coach you and do limit your speed.

Limited to what?

Maybe it's possible they've fitted the car with traction control and abs? Not like anybody paying for the experience would notice and the car wouldn't need to be up to any retarded standards.

Not a specific speed; they watch you and tell you to slow down. My friend said the fastest he got was 93 mph, but that was partly a function of the short straights on the track he was at. They make you slow down on the turn, for obvious reasons.

What track was this at? That seems awfully slow but I guess they don't need you killing your self.

Kinja'd!!!

No seriously, you just sign the check and they let you go as fast as you want. You hit something you sign more checks.

Yeah, but I don't know how it would work if it's a raced car. I don't know if you can just add that into the car via the ECU or whatever.

The top speed wasn't fast, but he said the rate at which you get there was pretty fantastic. I'll have to ask him which track it was because I honestly don't remember which one he said it was.

I'm not sure I've got any spare oil money laying around. Hold on let me go check. Nope, dang I was looking forward to Australia.

Yeah, I did a ride along and the speed we got to the corners was amazing. I don't know what the top speed was but it has to be close to 100.

Yeah, during the ride-along portion the driver goes a lot faster. Not flat-out, since they don't want to risk injuring the client, but faster than they'll let said client go when he takes the wheel.

For that price you could do a full 5 day rally school. Or, alternately, rent a rally car and compete in an actual rally.

Right, and 3 laps is bullshit, when i went to las vegas i made 7 laps on a F430 and the circuit is considerably long, it all ended so fast. And they were 7 laps. I doubt 3 laps are going to be enjoyable, at the third lap you will just be getting the hang of it, and then they will call you to pit.
