My First Drive in a FERRARI RACECAR! The 488 Challenge EVO

[@Shmee150]

Let's go! Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO at Donington Park... you know it's going to be incredible. What an amazing experience to be part of the Ferrari Challenge weekend, around some stunning road cars and race cars, and of course a first experience in the 488 Challenge EVO. I'm hoping it's not the last time I get to drive one!

[@NevRexA]

Epic experience isn't it

[@realtimbotube]

Shmerrific! Where can I write a post-dated cheque for one of these bad boys?

You somehow seem to always get the right camera angle. Perfect action photogroshmee.

[@phillipchandler8862]

A few tense moments there Tim, waiting to go out. Good driving too. Great content for the channel.

[@Dan_7200]

I had a ride in one today round Goodwood. Main thing that surprised me was how good it's brakes are. Amazing car.

[@cpnock]

I was at the F1 museum at Donington (now sadly closed) a few years ago and could hear cars going round the track. A few of us enquired to be told it was a Ferrari Owners day and that we could go down and walk round the paddock as they never minded, unlike some other clubs. Had a great few hours. You do need that 812, don't even mind the colour .

Hi Tim, My! You certainly live an "over the top" life. Every one of your vlogs is better than the last! Ferrari should put you on the payroll! 💯💯💯

[@gordonsimpson3235]

I think your apprenticeship on the Nordschleife has stood you in good stead.....you are a pretty handy and confident track jockey now Tim! Nice driving. I have always liked Green Ferraris with Tobacco leather, even on the 60's classic Berlinetta's. A 250 Lusso or 330 GTC in that combination would do me well!!!

[@JAS3E]

Shmee, which do you feel has had a greater impact on your success: your honesty as a journalist/person when creating content or the access to desirable vehicles?

[@Shmee150]

Interesting question! I think the two probably come hand in hand but the former is more significant; the access has come as a result of being honest and respectful through the years

I know they are insanely capable and have tons of power but I just feel like Ferrari didn’t try very hard on the styling on the SF90, either be rounded or angular or do a much better job of blending the two than they did on the SF90. Ferrari is hands down my favorite marquee but I’m not feeling the design language on this new model
