Ferrari 488 GT3 shakedown at Homestead Miami Speedway
Benjamin Sloss

Benjamin Sloss is an amateur racing driver with 50 recorded laps across 15 different vehicles on LapMeta, averaging 3.3 laps per car. This balanced ratio suggests methodical track day participation where each vehicle receives multiple laps for meaningful evaluation while maintaining variety across different platforms. The 15-vehicle portfolio indicates systematic exploration of performance car landscape through rental programs, manufacturer track days, or progression through multiple personal vehicles.

With 3.3 average laps per vehicle, Sloss demonstrates commitment beyond single-lap sampling. Multiple laps allow experimentation with different techniques, line choices, and approaches to identify optimal strategies for specific vehicles. This methodical development distinguishes engaged enthusiasts from casual participants who may complete one exploratory lap and move on without pursuing improvement.

The 50-lap total represents several years of sustainable track participation—likely 2-4 track days annually, rotating through different vehicles to compare characteristics and performance. This frequency balances continuous skill development against budget constraints and scheduling limitations. Most amateur drivers find this rhythm optimal: regular enough to maintain progress and muscle memory, but manageable within typical work and family obligations.

Fifteen different vehicles provide valuable comparative education. Experiencing various drivetrain layouts, power delivery characteristics, chassis philosophies, and weight distributions helps drivers understand fundamental principles governing vehicle dynamics. This knowledge informs vehicle selection, setup decisions, and technique modifications. Understanding how a mid-engine Cayman differs from a rear-engine 911, or how turbocharged power delivery affects corner exit strategy compared to naturally aspirated engines, creates better drivers regardless of what they ultimately choose to own and track. With 50 laps across 15 vehicles, Benjamin Sloss represents the engaged amateur enthusiast building comprehensive automotive knowledge through diverse, methodical track experience.

Driving Michelotto's latest creation, the delightful Ferrari 488 GT3, at Homestead raceway in Miami.

Just how good is the 488 GT3?
- I had never driven at Homestead before this visit;
- I had driven the 488 GT3 for a grand total of 40 minutes before bringing it to Homestead;
- and I'm not a professional driver.

The result, driving on track with well-driven 458 Challenge EVO race cars, was... well, watch the video :)
