F50 Hot Lap
Hot Lap in Ferrari F50 on the Dunsfield Aerodrome. This is the place where Top Gear is filmed.

er...I was being run up to 8000 rpm on the straight in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears. Engine sound track is very different inside the passenger compartment from what you hear standing on the side.

Just heard it was a charity day with a speed limit as they were giving passenger rides.

Since we're airing opinions here, I have to say that I object to those who tell the owners of rare and collectible or just very high end cars that they should be driving the wheels off them. And if they don't, they are just wasting their purchase.
I was at a C&C event this weekend and there was one fellow who was ceaseless in telling me that I should be driving my Ford GT lots more, a lot faster, and that it was just a waste that I didn't track the car.
Truth is that I view my FGT as a near-priceless object to be preserved and cherished and that it returns immense joy to me just driving it occasionally and letting each of my two boys take it for a short ride, with me of course.
Perhaps it's that I don't have sufficient amounts of disposable income - where the definition of 'enough' is that I could frequently drive the car on the edge, damage or total the car, and feel no sense of waste, loss or remorse. I actually hope I never achieve that level of net worth.
I have no trouble with the concept of living on the edge - having flown aerobatics, raced karts, raced all sorts of sailboats, skyjumped, what have you. And though it is also a valued and cherished object, I drive my 997S quite aggressively.
Of course, this is just my view. No more correct than any Ford GT or F50 owner who feels otherwise.
Thank you for tolerating me on this one. I feel much better now.
