School Is In Session // GT-R Training

How about a one-on-one, 45 minute tutoring session, behind the wheel of a brand new Nissan GT-R? How about 45 minutes of lapping at either Silverstone Raceway or the famed Nurburgring (that's five laps of the ring!)? Unfortunately for stateside buyers, this is only a thing of myth and day dream. But for UK consumers this is very much a reality, and one that makes us reconsider our mortgage payments. For those having placed a pre-order on the new GT-R, Nissan is offering a bit of tutored seat time, at a proper race track no less, before the buyer takes delivery of their own GT-R. According to the marketing director of Nissan Great British, "we want to share the excitement and the thrill of the GT-R with our customers. To do that, we will give those GT-R customers the chance to spend some quality time with the car before they take delivery of theirs.” 45 minutes at the ring, professional driving instruction behind the wheel of the most powerful production car Nissan's built to date, and all you pay is the travel expenses! Nissan provides the instructor, the track time, the car, you provide the cheese eating grins! // 06.20.2008
