Exotics Racing in Vegas? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

kALMIGHTY · 08-04-2014, 03:37 AM

So I'm going to Vegas (again) in a couple of weeks and this time I've decided I'm going to go to the Exotics Racing facility to drive my dream car - the Lamborghini Aventador. Now, you can only do a maximum of 5 laps in that car, and are not allowed to do any more than that, although you can do more than 5 laps in their other cars. I don't want to do just 5 laps while I'm there, I want to do 10, so I have one more car to choose. I don't want to do anything expensive like a 458 Italia (working on a budget so I can spend money on other things

).

So far I've priced it out and picked the Nissan GTR along with the Aventador, but I'm wondering what other cars might you recommend in place of the GTR, or do you recommend keeping the GTR. The Aventador itself is $90/lap, which is fixed at 5 laps. The GTR is $40/lap. I want to keep my second car under $50/lap.

This is the list of cars that would fall in my price range, which do you recommend driving, and why?

Nissan GTR - $40/lap
Ferrari F430 F1 - $50/lap
Porsche Cayman S = $30/lap
Porsche 997 Turbo S - $50/lap
Audi R8 V10 - $40/lap
Aston Martin Vantage S - $40/lap
Mercedes SLS AMG - $40/lap
Corvette C7 Stingray Z51 - $40/lap

Minimum laps per car is 5 so unfortunately I can't do 1 of each, like I wish I could.

F430 or R8 V10

As dumb as it sounds with all those other cars on the list... If the instructor let me drive it hard... I would take the c7 vette all day. I just want to see what it can do on the track haha

Hey man did the lvl1 ZR1 course at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, recommend that above all, but also did Exotics. If Exotics still has the F430 Scuderia do that one, and maybe your Lambo, just to say you drove one. But the Scuderia was #1 IMO, drove your Lambo and the R8, and the Porsche they had at the time. If you have the money look into the Corvette ZR1 course, they let you hotlap alone instead of having an instructor on the lame Exotics course. Take pics and have fun!!

If the MB SLS AMG is a Black Series, that'd be my choice.

If not, I'd go with the Ferrari F430.

did Exotics Racing about 4 years ago. I chose the 430 Scuderia. I HATE paddle shifting but I had an absolute blast!!! All their cars are paddle shifting DCT's, PDK's and such...which sucks a little. I was nice to my instructor and wound up getting 7 laps in. The money was much better spent there than at the blackjack table. Highly recommend!

I'd take the Cayman S for 5 laps to learn the course, then take out the Aventador and really let it rip.

The Audi R8 V10 as it will be the most similar to the Aventador.

Agreed. Plus the twins get referred to as a poor mans under powered Cayman at times. I'd like to find out if that is indeed the case.
