I did the Exotic Racing at the Fontana CA track The car I drove was the Porsche Cayman R, the smallest, lightest car they offer, with only 330 HP, and PDK. Everybody else was driving the Ferraris and Lambos. My best lap was 1:05 on 1.2 mile track, Best lap time ever is 58 sec by a professional driver in the Porsche GT3. So I feel pretty good about my times.

I passed three cars that I caught up to (all with much younger drivers, I'm 57) They were an Audi R8 (525HP), a Lamborgini Superleggera (570HP) and a Porsche 911 Turbo (520HP). Passing the 911 was the best! It would pull away from me on the strait with its faster speed. But then I would break later, catch it in the curves, and finally got around it. As we passed it the instructor said "Don't let it catch back up to us!" They never had a chance!

Can't wait to try it again in the GT3.

My Video of the experience is here on Youtube.
