It's a hell of a track.
If you get the chance to race on a virtual copy of the track, take it. There's a brilliant straight where you can reach maximum speeds and it passes by in an instant when you're over 200 mph.
I doubt you'll realistically get the chance - but you can actually go there and drive on the track. It's open to the public - and you can drive on it when it is NOT open to the public, as a student driver.
You can rent exotics (or just a Hyundai TCR type of car) and do laps - or, more importantly, you can hire a teacher to ride with you and give you second by second advice. I spent 10 days there doing exactly that, only not always hiring a teacher.
It was one of my favorite vacations - and it really wasn't all that expensive. It was under 20k for the whole thing. That includes everything, from flying there to food and alcohol.
I have driven it a couple times on my sons VR with an M6 and with a GT40 as well as taking a Cobra around. The Cobra put me off the road so many times I could not complete a lap unless I really, really took it easy. My son likes to take the vehicles that you have on virtual drives around the ring.
LOL Does he?
I suspect he'd have fun experiencing my collection in person. Imagine if I let 'em do something like drive a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
He does, with all the models you drive, I showed him the list and the interesting cars he likes to take for a cruise and get a little bit of a feel for it, which is cool.
Also, alas, I do not own a GT40.
Well... I do own a coin operated GT40.
I have three examples of the more modern Ford GT. One of them is up for sale and has been for a while now. It's not easy to sell a $275,000 car.
Are you still swilling beer? LOL It's too late to buy more!
Ford GT and GT40 are the same thing in my mind
