For those who have not heard about the Ferrari Challenge series, it is basically gentlemen race series where the affluent can get a chance to become a racing driver and race on circuits around the world. Entering the series will also mean you will be provided a racetrack-only Ferrari 458 Challenge car which is only slightly slower than Ferrari's FXX around Fiorano test track and a team of engineers/mechanics that will sort out your car for you.

 

Sadly, all that money won't necessarily make you a good sporting racing driver. Watch the video from the seven minute mark to see what we mean.

But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
