What do I need to drive?
You must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license. Unfortunately, driver’s permits, passports, and photos of licenses aren’t accepted. And remember, all drivers must wear flat, closed-toed shoes (think tennis shoes or sneakers)—sandals and heels won’t cut it on the track!

What should I expect on the big day?
Arrive at least 30 minutes early at the designated spot to kick off your Xtreme Xperience! Start with a quick registration, followed by a safety briefing and driving instructions. For driving experiences, you’ll meet your pro instructor, get acquainted with the vehicle, and then hit the track for your adrenaline-filled adventure. Professional photographers and videographers will be there to capture all the action, with the option to purchase these keepsakes afterward.

Do I need to know how to drive a stick?
No worries! All supercars come with a semi-automatic transmission, so they handle just like an automatic car.

The experience includes basic coverage with $20,000 in protection and a $6,000 deductible. You’ll also have the option to upgrade your policy on the day of your experience.

Do I need prior racing experience?
Not at all! This experience is designed for drivers of all levels, so anyone can live out their dream of racing a supercar!

How fast will I be going?
Your top speed will depend on your comfort level, skill, and the track’s layout. Trust us—whether it’s your need for speed or finesse, this supercar will deliver! Consider adding a 3-lap ride-along before your driving experience to get a feel for the track and speed with a pro driver.

Can I use my own GoPro or drone on the track?
Personal cameras can’t be mounted on vehicles, drivers, or riders as they pose a risk of falling off, and drones are prohibited per track rules. Don’t worry though; multiple photo/video packages are available for purchase on the day!

Can I bring a passenger?
Not in the driver’s seat! The supercars only have two seats, and your “co-pilot” will be a professional driving instructor. They’ll guide you on the track and help you push your skills to the limit.
