Ferrari F430 Auto X Pics - Gotham Dream Cars Driving Experience

Some pictures from today. 4 Laps around an autocross track for $99.

Incredibly fun. That car is a beast! I'm proud to say I was pushing it, had the front end scraping into the tight turns.

Yea I actually couldn't resist, and paid another $75 for an additional 4 laps :-)

I could have done that all day!

i went for a similar event up here this morning and went in the f430 as well.. these machines are amazing! although i don't think my experience was even close to as fulfilling as yours looks to be. the company we went with was kind of unorganized and it started pouring just before we got to go out on the track and thus the instructors were being overly cautious with how they let everyone drive...and then one of my laps was ruined by an SUV on the track in front of me which was used to show people the track before they got into the cars. i definitely want another go in this car but will look into a better company to do it with. looks like you had a lot of fun!
