Empty track, or on the street?

I gave my wife one of these, at our local track, as a milestone birthday present. A few laps in a Gallardo and a few laps in an MP-12C. It was pricey, but there are enough deals/coupons to bring the price to about 1/2 list, and it's a one-time splurge type of event.

If you're a regular track rat, be aware it's quite restricted - no manual shifting, etc. But for a novice who wants to have some fun on a special occasion, it can be fun and memorable.

I saw something like this outside the Louvre this summer - a 430, iirc - to drive around the city streets. I don't imagine that would be as much fun, though it was cheaper.

The website that looks like what you saw is of the street driving variety. It seems to try to fool you by saying it's "on the famous F1 course", but Singapore F1 is a street circuit, so you'd be driving the open city streets that are closed for the race.
