Honestly, for the Ferrari driver it isn't. That car like my GT-R is idiot proof. For my GT-R it is:
1. Toggle tranny, suspension and traction control to race
2. Mash brake
3. Floor gas pedal , engine will rev to 3,500rpm
4. Release brake - I Slip brake foot to left until brake pedal pops up
5. Steer in a straight line and keep gas pedal floored (until I run out of courage). Car does the rest. Shifts, compensates for road slippage, etc.
0-60 in 3.6-3.9 sec
0-100 in 9.2-9.5 sec
Again and again. Also my GT-R shifts in .018 sec and his Ferrari is faster.
If I were the Ferrari owner I wouldn't practice and risk tearing something up. Just show up and make the 2 passes (assume best of 3 - 2 is all it'll take). Cash check, go home.
