Many of the most popular travel destinations also offer one-of-a-kind experiences that suit drivers of all abilities. Packages are flexible and can accommodate all budgets. If you’re ready to make one of your wildest driving dreams come true, consider booking with one of the tour providers below.
Exotics Racing, Las Vegas
Self-described as the best driving experience in the nation, Exotics Racing is based at the iconic SpeedVegas motorsports park in Las Vegas. Exotics’ founders, Romain Thievin and David Perisset, pioneered the driving experience in 2005 when they first launched the concept in Europe. Four years later, the duo opened the first Stateside location. Since then, more than 400,000 car enthusiasts have burned rubber on the 1.3-mile closed-loop racetrack.
Exotics’ impressive supercar collection reads like a gearhead’s ultimate wishlist. Drivers can choose from more than 30 models, including the Nissan GT-R Premium, which boasts 565 horsepower, and the elegant and agile Audi R8 V10 Plus.
Getting your hands on one of these supercars has very few requirements. If you have a valid driver’s license, you are good to go! First-timers can go for the Supercar Experience and get the chance to take some of the fastest cars in the world for several go-arounds.
The High-Performance One-Day Driving experience offers a full tutorial with a professional driver. If you’re not ready for the driver’s seat, Exotics also offers thrilling Ride-Along tours.
Racing Adventures, West Coast
Operating across a dozen locations in eight states, Racing Adventures combines luxury with a high-performance driving experience.

An all-inclusive package includes a rotation amongst four supercars, accommodation, lunch, and a photoshoot. Take your pick amongst legendary models, including the McLaren 570 or the Corvette C8.
Supercar Tour, Italy
The only thing better than getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari is the chance to do so while exploring the Italian countryside. The Supercar Driving Experience based in Emilia-Romagna gives you an in-depth tour of Ferrari's birthplace.
With a professional driver by your side, you’ll tour the winding streets of Maranello, home of the Ferrari factory and Museum. You can end the day with a high-speed simulation to get a taste of the racing experience.
If you need more than a day trip, consider the five-stop Supercar Luxury Tour hosted by the Ultimate Driving Tours. Over four days, drivers can tour the picturesque mountainside towns of Emilia-Romagna, including Bologna, Verona, and St. Moritz while test driving the latest offerings from Lamborghini and Ferrari. The tour serves as an exciting complement to the annual Italian Grand Prix.
NASCAR Racing Experience, Daytona Beach
The NASCAR Racing Experience is available at more than 15 locations across the country, including the Daytona International Speedway.
As the site of the most important race car competition in the league, Daytona holds a special place in many NASCAR fans' hearts. What better place to fulfill your race car driving dreams? Drivers can drive for up to 48 minutes on the very same course graced by some of racing's greatest drivers.
Drivers can choose from a fleet of real NASCAR models, outfitted with the official race car wrap, a 2 way-radio system, and mandated pit stops. You can even pass slower cars in your way, just like the pros do!
James Bond Driving Experience, UK
Who could turn down the chance to feel like James Bond for the day? The Aston Martin Driving Experience is available at several speedways across the United Kingdom and gives you access to three of the most recognizable models from the franchise.
Test out the Aston Martin DB11, a model created specifically for the 2015 film Spectre. You can also go for vintage options like the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger and the 1975 Aston Vantage, featured on The Living Daylights.
Some tours conclude with a nail-biting off-road obstacle course in a Land Rover Defender V8. The V8 was revamped in 2021 to celebrate Daniel Craig’s final role as Bond in the blockbuster, No Time to Die.
As this experience takes place on the other side of the pond, you will have to know your way around a stick in order to enjoy the full experience.
