Had a ride in the 918 Spyder

I had the priveledge of experiencing a few laps in the 918 Spyder with Matthias Hoffsuemer, the car's head instructor, at the Dubai Autodrome on Tuesday

I have never experienced anything like it in my life! Other than the speed (car detuned a bit I understood), the braking and grip were simply out of this world. He would enter turns WAAAY too fast and I was thinking we're definitely headed for the wall but the car was absolutely planted. The balance felt beautiful, did not feel at all like a 1700kg car.

Shame they didn't allow us behind the wheel.
