If Mr. Cobra has 5 year old tires, they will not hold air long enough to race much less get any traction. He would get better traction using space saver thinmen 120s than an old set of formica race tires. If he does not get new race tires Mr. Cobra does not stand a chance.
Signor Ferrari has voided his warranty just by posting this thread, so over the long haul has already lost a considerable sum.
Anything could happen. Mr. Cobra has no reason to save his motor. It sounds to me like more or less a pink slip type of deal or might as well be. If Signor Ferrari gets a paint chip his car will be unsellable.
I can't wait to see how it turns out. If there are no new tires forthcoming, Mr. Cobra should just turn his front wheels towards il Commendatore and not let up till he thumps Rosso Corsa, to keep things even.
I did find this video from a guy in Vegas:

The practice thing may or may not be a good idea.
