This is a really really nice Ferrari 599 GTB.
Last week I had a chance to drive it briefly on about 1 mile of very smooth and gently curving black top.
Bragging that i had been driven around Brands Hatch by Jackie Stewart caused my host to select “Race” mode on the steering wheel.
On my first try with the gear paddles, while changing to 2nd gear, I hit the window washers!
This car has unbelievable acceleration and braking! It felt like a rocket! I had to feather the throttle pedal and the brake pedal, they were ultra sensitive.
On my way back to the office I managed to give it a bit of a blast and accelerated up to 3rd gear before doing some very hard braking with a pounding heart!
I love the reverse button!

And the feeling lasted for most of the rest of the day! Thanks for that!
