blogentry-133713-0-66597000-1441330828_thumb.pngCan money buy you skills to race? We are afraid the answer is no after watching these gentlemen treat their Ferrari 458 Challenge race cars like bumper cars.

 

For those who have not heard about the Ferrari Challenge series, it is basically gentlemen race series where the affluent can get a chance to become a racing driver and race on circuits around the world. Entering the series will also mean you will be provided a racetrack-only Ferrari 458 Challenge car which is only slightly slower than Ferrari's FXX around Fiorano test track and a team of engineers/mechanics that will sort out your car for you.

 

Sadly, all that money won't necessarily make you a good sporting racing driver. Watch the video from the seven minute mark to see what we mean.

True, money doesn't buy you skill.

 

But it does buy you the good humour to be able to laugh a totalled Ferrari off.

One should be gentlemanly on the roads.

 

But on the tracks, its all about becoming Champion.

This is not about becoming Champion. This is about not being a complete goondu (which some of these guys are).

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    5 ways the Polestar 2 Core Edition proves less can be more

    With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand.  What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA. But there's plenty more that has come out of Sweden besides flat-pack furniture, meatballs and impossibly-catchy pop songs. Founded as a standalone brand just eight years ago and headquartered in Torslanda, Sweden, Polestar is a design-forward electric performance brand that wants to put its Sc

    Fascinated by honey

    If there's one natural food (aka can be eaten raw) that I absolutely love, it's honey. Yes, there are countless varieties from around the world, but for this story, we'll talk about the kind that comes straight out of a hive, complete with honeycomb. I'm not an expert on this topic, but every time I consume raw, unprocessed honey, it tastes a lot better compared to honey that comes in a jar. No squeeze-bottle honey for me, please. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but raw honey doesn't

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 7)

    Ok, the title might be slightly misleading, but there is still a Japan-link.  So, pufferfish. Specifically, a wikipedia entry called Pufferfish mating ritual.  Long story short, one particular species of pufferfish make complex geometric circles in the sand to attract a mate. And this particular species is found only in Japan.  It's beautiful. It's bizarre. And it's absolutely amazing.  From the wikipedia entry: In a 2014 documentary by the BBC, narrator David Atten
