it's just crazy to see how effortlessly the car hits 250 km/h in the main straight...

Electric assist

[@alistairwhite2906]

Damn, lucky bastard..... the days leading up to the GP that I've been allowed to drive the circuit have been limited to 60km/h with all the workers trackside.

[@addictedtosliding]

Very lucky indeed. If it makes you feel any better two of the four sessions were done behind a pace car at 80km/h due to the weather.

[@DanielSadjadian]

Sounds pretty nice too for a V6.

[@chijen2010]

I think without particulate filter it sounds like a Ferrari. With it, it sounds pretty unimpressive.

[@DanielSadjadian]

@@chijen2010 yeah OPF sucks. But there are far worse sounding OPF cars, so it’s not that bad.

Superb machine, awesome drive! Must have been a lot of fun despite it raining

[@khjfreddy]

This is incredible! How were you able to get track access?

[@addictedtosliding]

I was invited by Ferrari Australia to take part alongside a few customers.

[@raulio81]

04:03 is that the sound of gear shifting down :) it sounds crazy. 250 km/h on straight and ~95 in first chicane, must be some good tires.

[@asadadil5469]

I assume the rain didn't let you push it harder. Hope you had fun though!
Have you driven other Ferraris? How is this car compared to the other ones that you have driven?

[@addictedtosliding]

Might not look it but this was pushing at absolute maximum. Car was sliding around everywhere, any quicker and it would've been in the wall. Fortunate to have driven most recent Ferraris (458 Speciale, 488, F8, F12, 812, California T, Portofino, FF, GTC4 Lusso) and the 296 compares very well. Quite different with its hybrid drivetrain and EV mode but actually sounds better than the V8s and is faster, I'd still go a 488 though.

[@asadadil5469]

@@addictedtosliding same for me. Got the other ones as well but, I would choose my 488.

[@fight2race810]

where is the wet line ? :P

[@hkoxia]

190kmh c'est dingue on a l'impression qu'on est à 100kmh lol

[@addictedtosliding]

Bonjour! Je ne parle Francais!

[@Upanddown9999]

typical melbourne weather

[@addictedtosliding]

Aye.

[@doctor_who1]

i don't think he knows what flat out means, but still a great ride

[@addictedtosliding]

You’d be going a bit quicker you reckon?

[@foodonfilm5935]

Imagine having a high performance car but the wipers get in your view that much hahah

[@addictedtosliding]

Better than not being able to see!

[@freddiegriggs2277]

Sounds like a gtr tho :/

[@RiasGremoryS54]

And that's a good thing. Because GT-R have on of the best sounding V6.<
With a good exhaust this Ferrari sound absolutely awesome
