Las Vegas: Exotic Car Driving on Private Race Track

Summary

Push a supercar to its limits on a real Las Vegas race track

You’ll step onto a real Las Vegas race track and get behind the wheel of an exotic car—after expert coaching and warmup laps with a pro driver. Feel every curve as you drive at speed with one-on-one instruction, helmet included. If you’ve ever wanted to test yourself (and a supercar) for real, this is where you do it.

What’s the experience like?

My hands were actually shaking a bit when I climbed into the Ferrari — not from fear, but just that weird mix of excitement and “am I really about to do this?” The air smelled faintly like hot tires and gasoline, even though everything felt spotless. Our instructor, Mike (he’s done actual races, not just lessons), handed me a helmet and grinned like he’d seen this look before. He walked us through the basics — steering, braking points, how the paddle shifters work — but honestly I was still thinking about how my knees kept bouncing under the table during the briefing. It’s loud in the garage, engines rumbling somewhere out of sight. You can feel it in your chest.

We started with two laps as passengers in a Porsche SUV so Mike could show us how to take the corners. He took them way faster than I thought possible. At one turn he just said, “Trust it,” and floored it — my stomach did that rollercoaster thing. Then it was my turn behind the wheel. The first lap I was careful, maybe too careful (Mike kept saying “more gas!”), but by lap three something clicked and suddenly I was pushing the car harder than I’d ever dared on any normal road. The track feels wider than it looks on TV; there’s space to mess up a little without feeling dumb.

I picked up little things — the way the steering wheel vibrates when you hit an apex right, or how your own voice sounds weird inside a helmet. At some point I realized I’d stopped worrying about looking cool and just started grinning for real. There were other drivers waiting their turns too — one guy from Brazil who fist-bumped me after my last lap (I think he saw me almost spin out). It’s quick — five laps go by fast when your heart’s pounding like that. But yeah, even now back at my hotel, I still think about that moment coming out of turn four with nothing but desert sky ahead.
