Who wants to drive a Lamborghini/F430/Aston Martin V8 around Summit Point for $99?

I think it's more about getting the experience to drive an exotic rather than trying to learn anything. Also another bonus is that it's not your own car that you're driving around the track.

Yeah I know - I suppose the allure of driving an exotic never really did it for me in the end. They're cool, but owning one and actually tracking it would require deep pockets I don't have, so I've accepted I wont ever bother lol

Exactly why I'm doing it now for like $150 even if it is just for 2 laps. I know for sure that whatever car I get next, I will be tracking it. Will most likely be a GT-R so it should be fun.

Honestly? I'd seriously recommend something cheaper. Its easier to learn to drive fast, in a slower car. You can get some crapbox Miata which all the parts will cost you jack diddly (ESPECIALLY tires), and not be afraid of putting it into a wall....much :-p

Seriously, just get one for 1 or 2 seasons, and it'll be a lot easier on you. My buddy's shitty integra can go 2 years on a set of tires, which cost him a whole 350-400 for a FULL SET lol. Thats like, ONE TIRE for us!

. The GT-R would hurt even more...

Gonna use the Z for that. Don't think I will be hardcore tracking the GT-R. Will start off slow and then slowly move up. Hoping I can learn enough in the Z so that I will be ok later on.

This thing is pissing me off! So I got a voucher for this from TravelZoo, but every time I try to book it on their website it says it is invalid. Tried contacting this place, but they never pick up there phone and haven't replied to my e-mails. It's too late to even get a refund from TravelZoo!

Anyone else buy this and successfully book it?

Report the incident to your credit card company, that should get their attention.

I'm gonna give TravelZoo a couple days to see if they can deal with it since I just contacted them this morning. If they don't do anything then I won't have any other choice.

Looks like TravelZoo has contacted Racing Box about the issue and hopefully it gets resolved soon.

Will do. I hope I can actually go on the date I wanted and not have to end up going to the last available date.

Hey, did you go to racingbox-booking.NET? I did that and got errors too until I went to racingbox-booking.COM. It's annoying cause the voucher tells you to go to .Net. See if that works for you. I already booked mine for 6/24 back on Tuesday.

Are you kidding me? That was the problem this whole time??!?!?!

Yeah I got it working now and had to book for the 24th as well since it was the only available date. Thanks a lot for the help man, you get some well deserved rep from me. I guess I'll see you at Summit Point on the 24th
