I am unfamiliar with the particulars but I would be very interested in the
insurance coverage. Also as far as choosing a car to drive I know many of
theses cars are 4 wheel or all wheel drive. If you are trying to come
closer to replicating a driving experience closer to a Pantera or just to a
super high tech car. I would suggest you do some research and decide what
you would like to to replicate.
Just my 2 cents.

I am unfamiliar with the particulars but I would be very interested in
the insurance coverage. Also as far as choosing a car to drive I know
many of theses cars are 4 wheel or all wheel drive. If you are trying
to come closer to replicating a driving experience closer to a Pantera
or just to a super high tech car. I would suggest you do some research
and decide what you would like to to replicate.
Just my 2 cents.

It seems unlikely that they would turn people loose on a race track
without it.
I have a friend that did a formula-1 type car at COTA, and they were
speed
limited.A They also had remote kill in case someone went nuts.
