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?

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.

What kind of insurance coverage is included?
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.

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.

Wow, what an amazing experience! From start to finish, everyone involved in the event did an outstanding job of making us feel comfortable and thrilled about the whole experience. The instructors were exceptional, and the cars were absolutely awesome. I highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Samuel D.

I had an incredible experience! Driving high-performance cars on a race track allowed me to fully unleash their potential. The track layout, complete with braking zones and apex markers, was a real advantage. The instructors gave me the confidence to push the limits far beyond what I could do on my own. Plus, I got to drive cars that I could only dream of owning.

William B.

It was beyond amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the experience. This was truly the best experience I've ever had.
