Finally my first track with my 488 Spider

Hi Ferrari Owners and visitors

First of all, I don’t know but once you do a track, It is like they poisoned you with something that makes you feel itchy and wanna jump back again and again to track!

The experience is out of this world, and my Ferrari 488 Spider did pretty well in the track.

1- Did a briefing session with professional coaches from Italy.
2- then Two laps (without instructor) with all cars together and in very low speed (I dont know why we did this)
3- then a heavy rain started and Ferrari had to wait 2 hours before allowing us to get into the track with a coach.
4- then, the real fun begins. (I memorize every tips given here by you guys which really helped me alot and the coach was like whaaat you look like you know what you are doing hahahahha)
5- First few laps in Wet mode, and not pushing until i get familiar with the track corners and also it was wet as well.
6- took a break, then back into the track but with a sport mode and gound is dry now. (Before the end, we did a cool down lap)

Below you will find some photos and videos of my experience.

c) a friend captured a nice moment for me when going into straight line in full speed.



d) A video (using GoPro) behind me captured my 2nd or 3rd lap. But lisen carefully in the beginning of the video. The instructor looks pretty much like Sebastian Vettel and I asked his if he is a brother to Vettel or something lol.



It was a challenging track because it was dark and wet. But I have nailed it (as per the instructor) not sure if was was honest opinion or just a confidence boost

If you have never did a track, you are missing lots of fun! And you will be surprised of what you and your car can do in the tracks!

Hope you like my post

Regards

 

Nice! It is fun for sure, and can certainly be addicting, wait until you start trying to beat your time....

(BTW, they likely have you run a couple/few slow laps to get familiar with the track.)

Yeah true, im already feeling addicted to doing tracks!

The freedom you have in the track is priceless.

 

Thanks, will upload more videos of my track

 

It is pretty new official and professional track in the middle east.

I got an invitation to attend this event which they also revealed F8 as part of the event.

Will try to find the location/details of the track and share it here

Regards

 

Yes true, and when I asked my dealer, they confirmed what you stated. But after checking the photos, guess what car was leading us in the first slow laps

Did not notice it till i saw the picture posted in their instagram!

This car is out of this world.

He brought his car to the event but did not take it to the track. I guess it was just for the event and show, however, the guy was very cool and nice person.
