I am driving McLaren 12C, Ferrari 458, the new Lambo Hurcan on the track, what order

What up

I am going to be driving a McLaren 12C, Ferrari 458, and the new Lamborghini Huracan on the track (Summit Point, VA specifically).

What order would you drive them? and why?

You may not get many responses regarding your question here. Why? Well I would venture a guess that not many, if anyone here has ever driven all three of those cars. This looked to me to be a, "hey look at what I am going to drive" type of post. That is how I took it, sorry. Have a great time and be safe in which ever order you choose. And no offense meant.

Oh snap - but my thoughts also. Enjoy.

You can drive them to my house in alphabetical order. There's beer in the fridge in the shop. Help yourself but don't touch the motorcycles .

Ok, here is my $0.02.

I would save the McLaren 12C for last, IMO it's the best track car of the three and I would want to save the best for last, you will also have a higher comfort level and be able to enjoy the car's ability more.

One of my favorite quotes "Ferrari's drop lap times, Lamborghini's drop panties." I'd drive the Huracan first and then the 458.

Basically my thought process is drive the worst track car first and best track car last.

BTW I'm super jealous!

I would drive the Lambo first because it doesn't interest me that much. I would never buy one.

I would drive the McLaren second because although I would buy one I don't lust after it.

I would drive the Ferrari last because I absolutely lust after a Ferrari 458. I would probably ask if I could just skip the others and drive the Ferrari three times.

+1

Yeah I would rather drive true race cars; didn't Lamborghini start off making tractors?

My apologies, but this is not that.

I have driven many exotic cars at track day events, so this is not bragging.

I was more of a hey if you were doing X how would you do X?

1. Ferrari 458 - Because you start with the best and see if anyone can beat it, after.

2. McLaren 12C - Because this car is the bridge car between the 458 and the Hurcan.

3. Huracan - Because this car knew of, and was designed to target, the above two cars. Did it achieve its goal? Drive it last and find out.

Sounds like an episode of top gear to me. Lol But makes the most sense.
