What a great way to learn how you car handles at the limit. It would be like running 10 track days in 1 day - 14.5 miles=1 lap and 176 corners.
The best part is from what I have read, it is incredibaly cheap, something like $40 for 12 laps! The hard part is finding a day when auto manufacterers aren't testing, as they usually shut the whole thing down. The NSX was pre-production tested there by none other than Ayrton Senna, and you can bet the S2000 probably ran a day or two around the ring before it was ready for production. In fact I found a vid of a prototype S2000 driving the ring:

Lap record was set by Stefan Belof in a 956C in 85 - 6minutes11seconds! He was killed later that season at Spa in an accident involving Jacki Ickx. Group C cars were banned from racing that circuit shortly after.

Su2uKa- I have this track in GT4 on my PS2 with wheel and pedals. I also have many S2000's including the Amuse R1. You should come by sometime and check it out. Thanks for the vid.

Of course you are welcome any time I have another setup at a friends house with wheel, pedals, etc that I have linked together in the past. We would race eachother on 2 different screens. Time would go by really fast.

I usually go out to Mom's on Sundays, so if anyone wants to come with, PM me. There may be some good dinner too.
