Surviving Monterrey Mexico - The Arrival

So we landed a day after all the Formula D staff on Friday early morning around 9am. With everyone at the track we decided to brave a taxi cab ride for the 41 miles it took to get to the track. A 41 mile (1 hour) taxi cab ride cost roughly $27.50 American. It was safe to say our taxi driver had been taking "mind altering substances" before driving us through Monterrey. His old Dodge Neon 4 door had a grinding 2nd gear and he took off from a stop by revving his car to redline (around 7k) and slipping the clutch all the way till the car returned back to redline. I don't have as many pics of this adventure because I didn't bring my point/shoot in order to keep my travel gear low. I just brought a book bag for the whole weekend in Mexico. Anyways, on the the way to the track here are some places we drove past while traveling through Monterrey. Our cabbie also had to ask for directions over four times to find the race track.
