I will be going with my wife the weekend of 14/15. I plan to drive the 458, scud, aventador, and mclaren (if its there), was considering the gallardo SL (but will probably do more laps in a ferrari instead. Not really a fan of lambo's but want to try the aventador.

-Do you recommend the inside or outside track?
-IF you reserve cars for a certain time, can you change your mind when you get there or increase the laps of a certain car?
-Are there any cars that I did not chose, which you would recommend for me?

Thanks for your post and will comment of my eperience when done. Very excited.

Both tracks have something to offer - I really like both.
Yes, you can always change your mind and increase or decrease (unless you bought the minimum) the amount of laps you want. The McLaren might be there next week, so call now and tell them to put you in it tentatively. The Superleggera is fast...I was faster on it than on the 458...but I still liked the 458 a lot better.

You will have an ABSOLUTE blast. Make sure you buy the video option so that you can review your times and compare your progress and time differences in the cars.

Drove the 458 and Scud for 7 laps each and the SLS for 5 laps to get warmed up. My wife did 5 laps in 458 and had a blast. The 2 ferrari's were great but both my wife and I thought my GT2 was much faster and more nimble. My GT2 feels like a go-kart on the track and the 458 felt much bigger. And when the 458 was in sport mode there was so much hesitation in accelerating out of the corners because of the electronic gas pedal. When the instructor saw I could handle it, he put it in race mode and that fixed that annoying issue. The exhaust note was superb in both cars and could hardly hear the instructor. Will try to post my videos later. The scud was great also and would be very hard pressed to chose which I liked more. I can say that the 458 is not worth an extra 100k over the scud, which are the going prices right now.
