Hmm to sum it up, in one sentence I’ll say I’m very disappointed in the poor skill and attitude of the drivers.
As I was arriving to Infenion raceway I was like what the heck why can’t I hear the Ferrari’s screaming. I went into the first garage door and saw tons of Ferrari’s, I was smiling like a two year old. I blocked out everything…I felt like I walked into a very expensive candy shop, and every candy was red, not that I cared much! I was just so happy to be there. Then it hit me again, why can’t I hear those Ferrari’s screaming alive. So I went to the grandstands to see what was up. Apparently they had the safety car out, right when I got there, the circuit turned green. Then they started to ‘haul ass’ well… they seem like they were driving very slow, so I figured I timed them. They were averaging about 1:47 seconds around the circuit.. wow..a Porsche GT3 can do it in 1:23..so it got me thinking, these guys must really suck! (I’m sorry Ferrari owners, I love Ferrari’s to death, I’m a hardcore F1 Ferrari supporter) So the cars came in, and you see them all banged up, first thing that ran through my mind is who the heck are these sponsors for these cars. So I tried to ask a driver that just got out of a F430, boy was he a dick. I told him, nice race- did you have fun ?- he smiled and turned away. I was like oh okay. Walked down the pat and saw someone sitting in a trailer and we started talking…the owner of that trailer owns 3 Ferrari race cars (F430s), and the driver gave me permission to see them. I started asking him, how does one get into racing with this program since it ran through my mind, I can run laps around these guys, they drive so slow!!!
Then he says, everyone that runs are owners of the Ferraris they are driving out there, so their goes my hope in driving one of those suckers! So the F1 clientel is getting ready to go out and run, so I was like yes these suckers are going to rip things apart! Boy, oh boy, was I in for the biggest disappointment of my life….they were lapping 1:44’s….I’m sorry but I can’t believe Ferrari lets people like this drive their cars. My intension is not to offend anyone but, I’m shocked of why such people buy these car’s if they don’t intend to drive them like they are ment to, yes money blah blah toys blah blah, but still.
Point is, well I guess I have no point I just want to rant how disappointed I’m…maybe one day I’ll buy a Ferrari and show them…as a matter in fact, seeing these owners today, it killed my desire to ever buy a Ferrari, and I have wanted a Ferrari since I was like 0. I don’t want to be classified as ‘one of them exotic car owners who can’t drive’ cuz i can drive.. i have won karting championships, everytime i go to track events i usually am the fastest guy out there...
Anyways here are some nice pictures:
