憧れのスポーツカーに度肝を抜かれる！

ベラージオのショップを冷やかし、ちょっと昼寝。こんなにのんびりできるのも久しぶり。年末年始はやはり慌ただしくて、その骨休めにぴったり。午後は少しアクティブに過ごすことにした。1月が誕生日なので、運転免許の更新しなくちゃなんて考えていて目にとまったのが「エキゾティックレーシング」。憧れのスポーツカーをサーキットで体験できるというもの。ストリップから車で20分くらいとわりと近い。もちろん自分で運転するのが醍醐味だろうが、プロのドライバーの運転を助手席で体験するのもありだという。ほほう。運転には自信がないけど、スポーツカー乗ってみたいというボクにまさにぴったりじゃないか。で、いそいそと出かけてみた。

選ぶ車種によって、料金が異なるシステムで、マニアはひとりで何台も乗る人もいるそう。憧れの車と写真を撮るのはいくらでもOKとの太っ腹なはからいで写真だけ撮るボク。そういえば子どもの頃、スーパーカーブームでラジコン持ってたよなあ。ここでは赤のフェラーリが一番人気とのこと。で、乗ったのはDODGE。そう、ここはアメリカだもんね。さて、実車。「たった2周でしょ」とナメていた。ごめんなさい。

サーキットに入る前からグワンとハンドル切られて、度肝を抜かれる。車内の様子を動画で撮るつもりでスマホを手持ちしていたのだけれど、このいきなりのドリフトに驚いて録画スタートのボタンを押し忘れるほど。ヘルメットをかぶっているので頭が重く、左右に揺れる。わーという声も出ず、プロのドライバーにいいように翻弄されてしまった。それでも2周目はちょいと余裕が出たのか「ここはこうハンドル切るよね」と思ったら見透かされたようにその裏をかかれたりして、悔しい。降りた直後は平気だったのだが、だんだんと車酔い。筋肉痛が遅れてくるのは加齢のせいっていうけど、車酔いも遅れてくるの? と驚愕しながらホテルで休んだ。
