What would you pay for 60 mins in a Gallardo on an F1 Track ?

    But how much wheel time?

    What's the catch?

    You have to go to one of the following cities:
    Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hanover, Cologne, Munich

    Right, so how do you get from say Berlin to the 'F1 Circuit'? Nurbergring and Hockenheim are both near Frankfurt.
    the rules of the road will be complied with
    I get a feeling the instructor won't be telling you to "mach schnell!"

    Man, I think I'll pick this up. Living in Frankfurt, I owe it to the rest of you.

    Sounds like a great deal, but seeing as I have no other reason to go to Germany I probably won't be availing of it :(

    I somehow doubt all of them have an F1 track...

    That is worth it IF you get 60 minutes driving time. Not 45 mins instruction in a room and 15 driving time!

    According to the discussions, it's actually just driving around one of the cities, not on an F1 track. Suppose you could make a bee-line for the autobahn though. It's also 5-10 minutes of instructions, then the rest with you behind the wheel.

    Nowhere in the ad it says that you would be driving on a F1 track. The only mention of F1 is that the car has a F1 gearbox.

    It's 60 minutes (incl. Instruction and refilling at the end) in a gallardo in town. Which in Berlin of Hamburg might equate to about 20 minutes driving with 30km/h.

    Title of thread and this in link:

    Title of thread and this in link:

    Bad google translation. In the original ad it says:

    Fahren Sie in einem Lamborghini Gallardo mit F1 ( Formel 1) Schaltung!

    Properly translated it means: Drive a Lamborghini Gallardo with F1 Gearbox.

    You can drive a 911 for a week in germany for €600-700.

    looks like you drive it around a city - which would actually be a balls. It might sound good, but it would be a dog at slow speeds I would imagine. Teasing you is all it would do actually.
