The guy who started a company that I used to work for had a small collection of Italian cars. Each year he would hold a track day where the employees could come and sit in the passenger seat while members of the car club would take them for a couple of laps in the various cars. I took a ride in the Testarossa and could barely keep my head upright in the corners. My neck isn't all that strong and the weight of the helmet wasn't helping! And I know that cars get much faster than that. Not being used to actual G-forces in cars, my head was spinning for the rest of the day :) IIRC he ran a BMW at Bathurst a few times. An M3, I think.
