Wow!! Cool video!
Its like a science trying to drive those things! I have new respect for all F1 drivers!

 

That was totally awesome. I'd love to try it, but pretty sure I don't have those chops. The car is just so incredibly fast. I'd be like Hamster, never getting the tires up to temperature.

 

I want!

 

i liked how they had a smaller car and then he got the bigger car. I'd take the smaller car. They said the rebuild was 150-200k on the F1 engine...ouch

 

cool now i wanna learn to drive one

 

yeah, with a power to weight ratio of 1500HP/ton (2000lb) it's definately a science in how to drive it!

 

ive driven in a two seater f1 andretti car before, and was suppose to drive a single seater but never made it out to vegas again

 

That's it??? Come on!!! Tell us how it was

 

we went around las vegas speedway's track. on the straights we got up to 180mph and on the curve the g force is incredible, I have never felt anything like it, just stuck in my seat an was very hard to even move my head

 

nice post. cool video. that would be a dream come true for me, and this video makes it ever more clear that this might always be just that--a dream.
