Neil,
His car is owned via P1. I live near where P1 stables its cars and when I was getting my tires (or tyres) changed on my wife's SUV at a local tire shop I asked the manager to price new rubber for my GT. He said he'd just replaced a set of rear boots on Hill's P1 GT. Apparently the car only had 4K miles on it. It kind of gives you a feel for how hard these fractional ownerships cars are driven.

Rob,
I think it is a bit different...It tells you how many unexperienced drivers are in the fractional owners. You can drive any car on a track, and rubb off the rubber like there is no tommorrow.,doesn't make it necessarily hard driving even, rather unclean driving off the trajectory with squeaking rubber being skinned.
I've been passenger on various occasions with the ferraris on tracks to coach the drivers, and trust me, some just don't get it...I suspect, a lot of these 'talents' you find in fractional ownership clubs like P1..
In that sense, i WOULDN'T WANT TO BE dAMON HILL WHO HAS PUT HIS PERSONAL BLUE WHITE GT into (pimping) fractional ownership to promote P1, it's like having your wife or dearest girlfriend sent off for rough gangbanging every (other) weekend..
Yes Neill, I also rather own, and wonder why I depreceiate a car that I might not use even once in two months (to then enjoy even more), than having an aching horse that has to tell me 'I love you' with painful face... I think fractional ownership might be interesting, but the few idiots in there spoil the whole thing and make cars eventually unreliable and cause unpredicted break down when you plan a nice weekend trip.. :thumbsdow
