hie my friend has his 21st coming up and was just wondering whether to get him an F1 racing lesson or hire a mustang for him. considering he is in Canada and temperatures are really low in December would a racing lesson be appropriate or would a day with a car that he loves be more ideal? what would you choose?

I would go for the racing lesson for a number of reasons.
A racing lesson is done in a controlled environment by professionals who understand their students’ limitations, whilst also acknowledging their expectations. The instructors will ensure that he has a day to remember.
Hiring a Mustang, fantastic as it may be, could be problematic.
It’s a car he loves, granted, but will he want to explore it’s performance envelope? Probably, yes.
This in itself could lead to being fined for speeding or even lead to a loss of control…you did say December, and even on a sunny December day he could encounter unexpected micro-climates, such as ice in the shadow of trees, or on the surface of a raised bridge etc., and it could prove to be very costly present indeed…

Well, if it was me, definitely F1.
Haha although i doubt you could actually rent a real F1 car, or go for a lesson and than sit and drive one immediately.
Wow you are really generous! Be my friend! Be my friend! Pleeeeassseeee….(with puppy eyes looking at you)
Haha just pick one that you feel your friend is most interested in. Either one, and he will still be extremely happy.
if you can afford it the f1 track school is far better, but you may be looking to spend $2000-$4000 for the day or weekend
where the mustang will be somewhere in the $100-$200 range for the day rental, but he wont be able to open it up like he could if he was at the track
either one would be awesome because you seem very thoughtful! i would choose the F1 package. I love mustangs but i could rent one on my own when it comes down to it. but saying my good friend sent me to drive an F1 school would be my best birthday present yet. You’re awesome!
I doubt that anyone would lend an F1 car out, they are really difficult to drive. You can get track cars for the day at most circuits,
Go for a performance car on the road, a days hire would be very nice indeed
I would choose the F1 racing lesson because its more likely to be once in a life time thing to do and a Mustang couldnt beat the experience of speed in the F1 car..
What a lucky lad..
The Mustang is a great car but just being near an F1 car is a totally uniqe experience and something he will never forget. Screw the Mustang get him the track day lesson.
F1 Racing.
As far as I know there is no such thing as an F1 racing lesson.
Go with the F1 racing, no doubt about it. Mustangs (cars) are a dime a dozen.
