That guy looked like a fool trying to drive the f-1. I wonder how many millions he wasted to have that thing sitting in his garage. What a fool he couldnt drive it faster than a 360!!!!! I bet the people at ferrari wanted to rip that contract up, he dont deserve to drive it. It was so funny when he burnt the clutch on it. I wonder how much that cost? Probably more than the price a new s2k. He should of bought a red s2k and learned how to drive and donated the millions to charity.

It's not like he's interviewing for a spot on the F1 team, he's just out for some fun and has the money to do it in style.
More power to him.

I wouldn't go as far as calling him beating the factory record for a 360 'respectable' though...

yea, i would take it easy too if i was him.....i think im in the minority but i think a little part of me would rather drive the old f1 cars, like senna,lauda and mika drove in the early 1990's. did you guys ever see the race between the f50 and i think prosts f1 car from like 1990-1992? the f50 hung pretty well. I hope he enjoys the car, drives it a few times a year and lets it sit in his garage 355 days a year, yet enjoys looking at it daily.

Yeah i'm going to have to agree, one of my friends fathers has several formula one cars. He just purchased a f3000 car and drove it around the track slower than he lapped in his enzo because he wasn't familiar with the limits of the car. So i don't think he was a fool as you put it, in fact a race driver stalled the f3000 and f1 car because it was a little different that the older f1 car he had driven so....mabye when you can afford one you can show him up...

I love his attitude towards cars like that. I dunno if I'd take it out when the road was completely covered in snow, but I'd definetly drive it year round. Sounds like he's building quite the stable of cars. Does anyone have anymore info on this guy?
