Ha! Just like a new pair of shoes, the Mille will make me at least a couple of tenths faster.

Make sure you go the right way around the track. Don't crash. Don't run out of gas. Don't hit the LP640. Don't hit the instructor.

Can you explain further why that will upset the car.

Soak up what the instructor has to say, although you will want to lift in a turn/corner DO NOT, it's natural reaction obviously but just ride out the throttle gently, you have a fast car and sometimes without sufficient track time you don't realize the speed you are carrying in, and you wind up wanting to break and getting off throttle, big mistake! Will upset the car big time.

We had a great day at Fontana today! We shared a garage with a red Scuderia! It was a lot of fun. Full write up to come with some awesome video. Here is a short clip (HD link coming soon) and some teaser pics:
