About

Exotics Racing runs supercar driving sessions at the SPEEDVEGAS Motorsports Park on Las Vegas Boulevard South, about 15 minutes south of the Strip. Its fleet is listed at over 50 cars from brands including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, Corvette, Aston Martin, Audi and Mercedes.

The basic supercar experience is priced by laps, starting at 5 laps. Every package includes a technical briefing, two discovery laps as a passenger with a pro in a Porsche SUV, one-on-one coaching in the car, a helmet, and timed laps you can compare online. A racing certificate is available on request.

All the cars are automatics with paddle shifters, so you do not need to drive a manual. No racing experience is needed. The same site also runs go-karts, an off-road Baja truck course, and ride-alongs, including a drifting ride in a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.

What to expect

Arrive at least 15 minutes before your session. The first 15 minutes are registration, then a 30-minute classroom briefing on safety, passing rules, braking and racing lines. It is required for every driver. Groups of three then ride two discovery laps in a Porsche SUV, one at normal speed and one at the pace you should aim for.

In pit lane you are fitted with a helmet. The instructor assigned to your car gives a 5-10 minute briefing on that car and sits beside you while you drive your laps. The first lap starts as you leave the pits and the last one ends as you return. If you bought the on-board video, you confirm it at the end, then collect your license.

  • Alcohol is not permitted at the track. Snacks and drinks are sold on site.
