For over 35 years, Racing Adventures has been killin’ it in the motorsport luxury experience game. With its Exotic Supercar Experience, you can enjoy the smells, the sounds, and the speed of racers like the Lamborghini Gallardo or the FFR Cobra.
The Racing Adventures’ impressive fleet also includes the Shelby Cobra Spec Racers, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche GT3, and even the Ford GT40. No prior experience is necessary to get in on the action, although you must be at least 21 years old to participate.
Let’s say you want to take the 375 hp Shelby Cobra super car for a spin. With a top speed of 165 mph, you can purchase a two-hour three-lap experience for $350, or a two-hour six-lap experience for $625.
Racing Adventures also offers high-performance driver education through
Hooked on Driving
, America’s Premiere Performance Driving Program. According to Racing Adventures
, “Under the direction and supervision of [their] professional driver coaches, you can explore the world of precision and speed.”And don’t worry if you don’t own a Hennessey Venom F5, the program is all about driving your own car on the track, even if it's an SUV. Currently, programs and private lessons are located in Phoenix, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Houston, Austin, and Fort Worth.
But before your unforgettable driving experience, make sure you leave the house wearing flat closed-toed shoes like sneakers or tennis shoes. Driving in heels may look badass in movies, but it won’t cut it on the track in real life.
Xtreme Xperience
If you’ve always dreamt of getting behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Huracán Spyder, a Ferrari 488 GTB, or a Corvette C8 Z51, the Xtreme Xperience may give you that pulse pouring feeling you're looking for. With events all over North America, the Xtreme Xperience shares its extensive garage of exotic sports cars. They even offer an American Muscle car package.
The company’s hand-picked line-up includes speedsters like the Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Audi R8 V10 Performance,
Nissan GT-R
, Corvette Stingray Z51, Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, and Porsche 718 Cayman GT4. You’ll get to drive these bad boys without speed limits or shifting restrictions. Say what?! For your day on the track, their Supercar Track Xperience starts at $238. Once you arrive onsite, you’ll receive a classroom session and professional instruction.
You then have the choice of riding along with a professional driver or selecting a sports car to drive yourself. If you’re more of a lone wolf and want to be one with the car, you’ll get three to four adrenaline-pumping laps per session.
Your helmet is included, and of course, there’s free parking! You can even invite a group of spectators to cheer you on at the finish line.
As a participant, you must be over 18 years old and bring a valid driver's license from your state or country. “Plan for 1.5 to 2 hours; adding lead-car rides or driving 3+ cars can extend your time,”
The Xtreme Xperience
tells us. You’ll also need to account for mandatory track insurance, starting at $39.Open Road Adventures
If the track doesn’t do it for you, and you’d rather cruise through mountains and beautiful canyons in an exotic car, the Xtreme Xperience also lets you choose your own supercar driving adventure.
Starting at $399, you can drive along breathtaking roads through the Blue Ridge Mountains in the fall, the Minnesota Great River Road in the summer, or explore
California
’s famous wine region in Sonoma before hitting the coast. You can also opt for an epic drive through the Colorado Rocky Mountains, New York Catskill Mountains, or the desert canyons of Arizona. You’ve also got plenty of customization options. If budget is a concern, you can opt for a one-hour scenic jaunt, a 2.5-hour luxury run, a half-day high-performance journey, or a full-day full-throttle expedition. We love these open road adventures because you actually get the option of driving a couple of different sports cars throughout the day.
Other driving experiences worth checking out include open road tours in Naples, Florida with Cloud 9 Exotics, Exotics Racing in Vegas, and the NASCAR Racing Experience.
