Now that the motoring desires of the rich and famous are well and truly catered for can we please turn our attention to making motorsport more accesible to the remaining 99.99% of the country? Karting is more expensive that most people think.

Actually Booter, what I meant was, I don’t mind a chat with a fellow car enthus. that’s interested in what i’ve got to drive. In some respects, some people enjoy the sight of a car they haven’t seen before, it’s something different from everyday life – It’s one of the few times you actually get to see something new and different.

Sorry but Renault Megane R26.R, Caterham R500 Superlight, PLEASE…i wouldnt care how fast those 2 are, i aint paying 40g’s to get stuck with these 2 pieces of ugly crap. If i had the money to buy one, you could give me the Scuderia anyday. And the other point about whingeing about not be able to drive these cars on our roads to their full potential…BULLLSSSHEEET….their are many many highways on every single coast and state in australia, you can still drive legally at 110km and still enjoy the cars, not at thier peak no, but still enjoy it all the same.
Not that im doing it in a ferrari, but my mazda is good for now… :) well sort of…

so as camski says, you now have the choice of driving the ultimate track tools on a track, or driving around town like the ultimate tool.

Part of me asks why you’d spend $40K on something you can’t “own” while the other part of me says, when else do you get the opportunity to drive a half a million dollar supercar (whew, a second hand Superleggera sells for more than a new one here haha, as do a lot of other performance cars in high demand, starting with the C63 =D). Although the $70K package sounds a bit nicer on the pocket, works out to about $14,000 pp if you have 5 members.

I can understand Stanbury’s view of the situation but i’d much rather put my money down on a P1 package (if you’re in the club, you may have more credits than you think ;) ). I believe that part of the experience of driving/owning a car in this league is being able to drive it on the roads we’re used to driving on everyday and well, you can’t say that if you had a Superleggera in your driveway, you wouldn’t wanna show it about to your mates.

Driving through a small town with your Arancio Borealis Superleggara with the amount of attention from on lookers and car enthusiasts a like is half the experience.
