Doesn't make sense. In an hour on the track in an F430 you'd go through a tank of gas. That's something like $60+ bucks alone. Never mind brakes, tires, wear and tear, etc.

They probably keep you going pretty slow, or you're not really driving hard for anything close to an hour.

email i got from them:

You are correct. Are you based in Vegas?

We offer Power Hour Sessions between other events that we schedule.
It's a quick, affordable way to get people like you "hooked" on driving
our supercars!

The format flows like this:
1. Introduction of the cars, the track and what to expect
2. Ride along in car with Pro Driver to show you proper lines in the
car
3. Lead & Follow - You follow Pro Driver in identical car and
essentially try to keep up with him, mirroring all of his moves to get
maximum speed out of the car!

I'm finalizing dates this week and next.

If you're interested, send me your contact info and I'll add you to the
announcement list. I've had a TON of interest on this Sessions, but we
only do 5 per hour to keep it small.

Let me know.

Also, we have Full Day event on July 31st at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
If you sign up for that event today, I'll add into that (2) FREE Power
Hours that you can use when we offer them!

You never really get to open the car up. As seen above
-look at car and drool
-ride with pro driver
-follow pro driver around track

They aren't going to let you rip on the car.

i think they're just waiting for people with little to no experience with super cars to crash them, and they'll make money from you when you total the used super car lol

The session is an hour, but I'm sure it's not one hour of actual drive time. Probably breaks down like 10 minute intro, 15 minute class time, 10 minute car walk around (I bet there's 20-25 minutes of car time, probably split between riding and driving).

Still pretty damn cool though!

I'm definitely going to do this soon.

It's about 10 min of questions, 10 min of exercises like 0-70-0, then follow the pro driver for the rest of the time.
