CloseJimFlat6:Replace the Scuderia shields with BMW roundels and no one would know. I'm not knocking it, it's the most useful ferrari ever made that doesn't start parades in small towns. Porsche should have made a similar model from the panamera.
@JimFlat6 - I take your point on some of the styling elements but have you ever heard an FF start up? Trust me there is no mistaking it for a BMW then.

Yes and it sounds glorious, .It's a terrific car, but it probably looks bigger and more imposing in the UK and Europe. For a exotic it has a very low ostentatious factor and is actually practical. As for its engine noise making it have a high score for a mythic look at me factor, my neighbors 71 Oldsmobile 442 with a .40 over bore big block v8 ( (9 liters with two small mufflers and a race cam) easily drowns out all recent exotics by a multiple factor of thunder you would have to hear and feel to believe. 
So call me jaded when it comes to engine noise.

Joost:Whoopsy:Joost:Hey, is that the inkameep wine resort?
Sort of.
They are actually called NK'Mip band haha. Their resort is named Spirit Ridge.
Cool, I thought I recognized it:
Beautiful Rammed Earth construction, we went to examine this place in architecture school. I always love a cruise into our stunning interior.

Lars997:It looks like a very modern track. Lots of narrow corners, plenty of space to survive when flying off. Think you guys will have a lot of fun there.
Not a very challenging track though but this isn't supposed to be spectacular, this is supposed to be fun and people will have a blast on it. Very nice, I wish we had something like this near my home (next one is Salzburgring 
).

tso:Seems that the youngsters over at the kart track will have the exact same layout, just in karting format...Nice !!!
Great fun for the whole family... Add a good restaurant, maybe a pool (for summers) and it is perfect. I hope there is a nice mall near by for the wives.

As the webpage shows they build nice weekend houses next to it. Real mean caves... Garage space for 4 cars - this seems to be hell of fun. I don't think there is a shopping mall close by but they should consider adding a spa 
SPA? Nah...shopping mall, trust me. Best thing ever (for the guys, so the wives don't bother them or tell them how much money they spend on their cars and the track... ).
Whenever I want to book a driving event with Porsche or the local Porsche club, first thing my wife asks: Is there a larger city or a shopping mall near by?

Yes, and we are considering adding the grip paint to the run offs, like Paul Ricard to make it even safer.

The Indian band that we partnered with also owns the above mentioned Spirit Ridge Resort, which is about 15mins drive away. The resort has a pool and hot tub, and a spa.
Not much shopping around that area, but there are numerous wineries scatter all around.

The 2D pictures doesn't quite capture the elevation changes, if you go to the website and watch the simulator lap by Scott, then you can visualize the track better.

Wouldn't make my wife happy but I guess some frustrated wives could be happy with that.

Not everyone can have a sophisticated enough palate to enjoy good wine.
The bigger question is if BC wineries create good wine!

The basics is that it's a private member track, operating like a golf country club or something. Right now membership is at 120 and max we will do is 200. Early joiners paid 30k a pop, later entries are 35k then 40k. Can be re-sell after 5 years. Yearly dues is round 3k, to paid for track maintenance and safety and stuff.
Track is pretty much opened year round for members, some dates might get booked up by corporate members hosting functions. Right now we don't plan on doing public track days. But we might do exceptions to manufacturers who are not members but would like to host something. Hosting races is also on the schedule.
Members can bring a guest for visit, but guests do pay a small amount of 'resort' fee.

Great idea. It fulfills a dire need for sport car enthusiasts.
Now all you need is an insurance company to insure the cars while they are being tracked.
Of little, to make much: That is the dream of a human life.

I did watch it - love it. This is a great playground!

Excellent set-up.
Right most picture is the restyled front end, with the lower air intake restyled and a narrower grill and a new style headlamp.
2nd right is the rear tail lights, the highly sculptured creases are still there.
3rd from right is just a close up of the front grill
Left most is the most interesting, if the internet rumours are to be believed that that next FF has quad tail lights, that pic would be the inboard light. But I think Ferrari is keeping the dual tail lights, so that would be the inboard side of the tail lamp, the other pic is the outboard side.
Rumours has it that the rear roof line has been lowered a bit, a la next Panamera.
