Lamborghini Track Day - Fontana, CA AAA Raceways Lamborghini owners know that owning a Lamborghini is not just about empty bragging rights. They tend to be younger, for sure young at heart, and tend to be more true to themselves - they know what appeals t...

I like the way of the driving at the track, following a guy that knows how to handle it, and he's quite carefull the first lap ... allowing people to slowly getting used to both the track and the car .. . The Aventador is a beast, a beautiful beast but a ... 

I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to ride in a really cool Lamborghini Diablo a few years ago. What a fun day that was, I could only imagine what a track day would be like. Thanks for the action photos. JerryW

Hi, Jerry, Ya gotta come out again! or we need to come over there... Cheers, TM

PuristS hospitality at its best. Awesome food and even better company. Look forward to another visit, anywhere in the world. Best, JerryW ...  

Cars all over the track in one photo...plus I see braking/apex cones :-) A serious question: Would the e-nannies (I cannot abide that the term 'nanny'. Too much baggage/interpretation/overuse) be acceptable if they were completely unobtrusive? Or would th... 

All over the track, Ben?!? I suppose the pictures were so purdy that you missed the text explaining that the ONE car in that picture way off line was pulled over waiting for the other three to pass in the changeover? Or do you mean follow car two appearin... 

One of the factors I dislike about the current generation of ESC etc is that they are very effective compared to the more abrupt, low limit, lurch-inducing early systems. Bit strange but the reasoning <cough> follows. The issue is that with any of t... 

personal opinion - the substance of your post is what makes for interesting discussion and contain the seeds of making one think about and understand the issues more deeply. I'd like to revisit the points more when real life isn't calling. Cheers, TM

Thanks for sharing. I've always been a great fan of the Italian exotic horse and bull. Never driven either. Always wonder in a driver's point of view, how do compare the two? Aesthetic aside, which one would you prefer?

Hi, Sten, Thanks for your kind words. In one sense, comparing the bull to the horse seems so natural as there is no question they are competitors in many ways. It is tempting to over generalize, to lump the different models under one general "brand" impre... 

is that Lamborghini has the wow factor compared to Ferrari. Technology wise, Lamborghini falls behind Ferrari by about 15 years. Just look at the gearbox for example, it's night and day difference! I do agree with TM that Lamborghini tend to be more "extr... 

Here we have a great example of very satisfying design. Each line or edge has a beginning, middle and end. They lead your eye, let you follow and find. The surfaces are all taught and don't slow your eye down or cause you to fall in quicksand. Nowhere is ...  

I enjoyed the video TM. I like how they started the first intro lap to get used to the track. ps - did I read that right? 14 seconds for the changeover? Regards, ED-209

<ahem; cough cough> as I wrote to BDLJ in his comment about "cars all over the track" - the range of driving experience and skills was all over the map. But, yeah, 14 seconds was more than 6-8 car lengths...
