    It was a blast. Thank you for the tutorial vid. It's appreciated.

    Exotics is cool. They cater to all levels of driving skill. The advantage is that you don't have to worry about maintenance and track wear & tear.

    In my case, I've got some decent seat time and I know a bunch of the instructors & staff there so I got to play without the traction nannies and very little intervention. In both the R8 & 458 vids you will see me over drive a few times without getting shut down by the instructor (The have a fuel cut-off switch when folks get the car too far out of shape).

    For you they would keep the traction aids on and give you more basic instruction on car handling. :Thumbsup:

    Always wanted to do something like this but I think I would need some track experience in other(cheaper/slower) cars first.
