Anyone ever experience Brake Failure as C&D did?

For a hyperdrive as a first timer I think you will be perfectly fine, especially with upgraded pads and fluid. Have fun!

Will do

It's funny, I might actually be out at Summit Point in a Lambo/Ferrari before I go there in my own car. Bought an exotic driving experience thing for 2 laps around Summit Point. Should be a fun first track experience

I saw a few of the exotics lined up today, although they weren't racing them. Today they had some police tactical training and were driving crown vics while setting off flash/bang granades and firing semi-automatic weapons. It was interesting having an explosion go off as you were starting to accelerate out of turn 1.

Doing that isn't a bad way to test the waters either.

Sounds like fun
