F360 Challenge cars - Kyalami hot laps

I recently attended a Ferrari DE day at the Kyalami circuit (Johannesburg, South Africa). I thought you guys might enjoy a couple vids of the hot laps (instructors driving). Sorry for the crappy quality, but this is how I got the vids. And my friend in the lead car talks too much. But they're still good to watch with the volume up:

Thanks for posting, sadly I couldnt make this event this year. I assume you saw the rather sad pics of the Challenge car that met the wall in a rather unfortunate way...

 

You mean this one?

Looks like a great time, geez 5 valves per cylinder gives a great noise

 

Need faster reflexes than that. Watch the first video and each time in the corner the instructor quickly, very quickly corrects that oversteer and saves it from the spin. (And you don't even notice that the correction was a serious correction because it came from someone who had the experience to know what to do instantly.)

I contend that these cars are not for the beginner or even intermediate driver.

 

They are a lot easier to drive than a Porsche Cup Car trust me

 

I don't have any experience in a Porsche Cup car.

My race car- '88 911 is more of a 'handful' than the 360, but really lets you play on the limit constantly. The 360's 'limit' is more knife-edge and you have to really be ready for it to play there.
