What happens in Vegas - AMG GTS

Went to Vegas this week for a friend's b'day party. Saw the outside of SEMA which was fun. They had a parking lot track where Mustangs and Raptor p/u trucks were drifting. A lot of burnt rubber and noise.

The highlight was getting to a drive a Ferrari at Exotic Racing. Didn't know that they had an AMG GTS available. https://exoticsracing.com/driving-ex...s-benz-amg-gts

The track experience was a blast. I don't mind mentioning that I'm 70 years old because I think I did pretty well. You have a copilot who has his own brake pedal. Here's the onboard video. After watching the car get onto the track the impatient among you might want to slide the scroll bar over to the 9 minute mark and finish from there.

You can easily lose what we paid for this in slot machines. They have a free shuttle from downtown. Enjoy!

Very fun, hope to do it one day. I would go nuts having that guy barking all the time at me. I have done plenty of track
days with and without instructors, and never heard one go at it non stop like this guy. You are so busy and concentrating
that I would not hear 1/3/ of this guy's mouth.

LOL. To be fair it was my first time and he helped a lot. You fixate on the cones and he knew I would do that so he kept getting my attention. I would say that after 20-30 laps I could do a lot better with much less "coaching".
