Seriously, just get one for 1 or 2 seasons, and it'll be a lot easier on you. My buddy's shitty integra can go 2 years on a set of tires, which cost him a whole 350-400 for a FULL SET lol. Thats like, ONE TIRE for us! . The GT-R would hurt even more...
Gonna use the Z for that. Don't think I will be hardcore tracking the GT-R. Will start off slow and then slowly move up. Hoping I can learn enough in the Z so that I will be ok later on.

The Z would suffice just dandy. Thought you were ditching the Z and getting another car (a GT-R) and nothing else to go with it.

And yes, the Z is still a good starter car. A little more power than SOME would recommend, but I think its fine.

Yeah will have the Z for probably another 2 years or so, which I hope will get me ready for a GT-R on the track. Will definitely pick up some beater DD to go with it though. Don't want to be driving the GT-R as much as I drive my Z. I will be selling the Z to get the GT-R if that's what you meant.

This thing is pissing me off! So I got a voucher for this from TravelZoo, but every time I try to book it on their website it says it is invalid. Tried contacting this place, but they never pick up there phone and haven't replied to my e-mails. It's too late to even get a refund from TravelZoo!

Anyone else buy this and successfully book it?

Report the incident to your credit card company, that should get their attention.

I'm gonna give TravelZoo a couple days to see if they can deal with it since I just contacted them this morning. If they don't do anything then I won't have any other choice.

Looks like TravelZoo has contacted Racing Box about the issue and hopefully it gets resolved soon.

Will do. I hope I can actually go on the date I wanted and not have to end up going to the last available date.

Hey, did you go to racingbox-booking.NET? I did that and got errors too until I went to racingbox-booking.COM. It's annoying cause the voucher tells you to go to .Net. See if that works for you. I already booked mine for 6/24 back on Tuesday.
