I have never had to disagree so much with what you said Cam, but its mostly because i did the real f440's once, which is $100 for those who care.
So let me summarize the craziest moments of my life. You only go with two people on the course, as they close it down to everyone else. So at the start, you literally have like 50 people watching you because not that often does someone shell out that much money for 12 minutes of entertainment and everyone has to watch essentially. So the carts are completely different to the club carts. Their near impossible to get into as their are no seatbelts, just this massively tight racing seat. They go over each turn with you and how to handle the speed and the turns. Quiet informative as they take a dry erase marker to a diagram of the map and show you what angles to go on.
The first thing he told us was at the first straight you have to floor it or you may foul the plug. So im pretty nervous actually, because their were so many people watching, and the guy said the things were like indy loud when your driving. So i set off, i'm going relatively slow around the first two turns because the straight is right after them, so i get to the straight and i give it all. Never in my life have i experienced such speed. Your so low the ground, and its like your hitting 0-60 in like 2 seconds, and your wholly body shakes as the course does have its bumps. The best part is that you can literally floor it the entire time, and you have to drift in and out of the corners by letting of the gas and pumping the brakes just a tad as you enter the corner to help spin into it.
So in the end, i spun out twice. Once was because their was all these kids watching at the fence, and out of the corner of my eye i caught them looking, and the one second i lost my attention, i couldn't manage the corner properly. The other time i was simply going to fast and i understeered.
So to summarize my day at best, 30 minutes after i raced, i threw up...alot. The g forces i felt must have made me sick i presume as after i was finished i felt sick right away. So TRUST me the real f440's are amazing. Just bring a barf bag in case.
