The 360 driver was a pussy. Try this hot lap of the Nurburgring by Hans Stuck in a BMW M3 GTR.

Best high speed drive film I've ever seen, because unlike so many movies that disappoint just when things get good and you're getting motion sickness, the camera never leaves the driver's POV in this video, and it has the bonus of an in the car PIP so you can see how busy the driver is.
Loved the flying video!

I have to thank you Rodge, for turning me on to Top Gear a while back. Absolutely love the show, and wouldn't even know it existed if not for you. Obviously Drivers Heaven is instantly recognizable from the show, and it would be beautiful to see in person, but all I can think is that it would only take one person to eff up on one turn, to ruin the weekend.

That's my car. Two things.
The driver never ran it up beyond maybe 5,000 rpm. It has an 8,500 rpm redline. The thing becomes a monster and screams like an F-1 racer at the upper range. Agree the driver is babying the car.
It is a scary car to drive. I'm at a certain age and have driven many cars. I took the Spider to Limerock Motor Speedway and got some professional instruction. It can bite and the rear can come around so fast you are in the grass facing the other way. All later F-cars have so much computer control I think you could keep it floored all the time and never break traction. -

I have to add I appreciate that the driver kept it pretty sedate. It is one thing to drive like mad on a closed speedway, it is foolish and evil to do it on a public road.

If it were a Volkswagen I would have appreciated the scenery, but NOT when it's a Ferrari 360 Spider.

Now we know why they call it the Gotthard Pass. Did anyone else hear the Dr. Who theme when he went through that long tunnel?
