I have just got back from the States and had the oportunity to drive a Lambo Mercielago in Las Vegas. Here is a video of the experience. Does anyone know who the guys are that took their utes to the states from Australia, that the instructor mentioned?

The track has too many turns and too much on of the brake for mine. But you are a lucky lucky man.

Thanks for posting up the vid Paul it was good to watch. I could see you were frustrated and wanted to give it a proper workout. How did it compare to your F6 gruntwise?

Doesn't compare Pedro. It would only be faster after 200 kph( the Lambo)
The F6 pulls harder. Much harder.

Seemed far too tight a track for the car. Take a few hard corners out and replace with a longer straight to stretch its legs, and maybe a long sweeper instead of those hairpins, and you'd have a better experience IMO. That said, you've driven a Lambo. I haven't!!!!

Hard to compare to my ute with track tyres. Because of the tyres the ute bit into corners better. Cheers Paul
