Exotics Racing

It was very cool to be intimate with dream cars and to be able to sit in them and enjoy. I originally signed up to drive the Mclaren. As I’m a heavier set individual I did not fit in this vehicle as it has a full cage, racing seat and a required HANS device. When registering it should be made more clear that this is a full blown race car and you’ll probably not fit in it if your shirt size starts with a X. Not a problem though as they did have a Porsche available to drive. The processing time to actually get into the vehicle is fast and easy. The ride around in the Porsche SUV is quite fun as well. When actually on the track the amount of communication and input from the instructor really ruins the experience. When in the briefing they say that you’re allowed to really drive these cars and to really use the full RPM range of the vehicle, however, when downshifting they force you to stay in a higher gear to “preserve the cars”. They also force you to brake extremely early for corners. My assumption is that this is to ensure they can get another individual driving that car quickly without the brakes needing to cool down. They’ll mention safety being a top priority in follow up comments for critical reviewers but there is a line between ruining the enjoyment doing something that has some inherent risk and actually protecting customers. The track is technical but extremely small and the experience is over within 5-6 minutes. I didn’t feel that wonderful sense of adrenaline I typically would associate with cars of this caliber. In fact I felt downright calm. If you’re someone with zero experience driving a car at the limit, this experience will be one to remember forever. If you’ve ever tracked a car before, I’d recommend trying a different experience in Vegas.

From the well-done safety-forward training and practice laps in a Porsche SUV by George, to watching Bomack take passengers on his amazing drift ride-alongs... everyone had a smile on their face after whatever the experience was. Furthermore, Kareem did an amazing job as my instructor in the V10, Audi R8! It took a couple laps to get used to the car, but once I did it felt so spectacular! This makes me want to tell everyone about it and come back for more!

I drove the F430 with Loyd for for 11 laps and had a great time. He explained everything well and each lap I understood how to improve my lap time. The cars were beautiful and the whole process was organized, safe, and efficient. The two intro laps in the Porsche with Jason were great too. Truly driving coach professionals. This driving experience will certainly be on my must-do list for future Vegas trips.

Amazing experience that I would recommend to everyone. Not only is it an experience to drive these cars, but to do it on a race track is something few people will ever get the chance to do.

I’ve done a couple of these driving experiences in the past, but nothing compares to Exotics Racing. I went with the Mclaren 570 and was shocked that let me drive it as hard and fast as they did. Some of the other driving experiences I’ve dove top the speeds around 120 but I could really open it up here. Cool track too.
