Item Description

Your party of (1) will experience five of the world's most exciting supercars in one unbelievable day on some of the most scenic U.S. roads. Nowhere in the world has such a collection of exotic supercars been made available for you.

An experience with World Class Driving is unlike any other. Upon arrival, guests are immersed in an exciting and luxurious learning environment. The driving instructors, all active or retired professional racers, provide the necessary framework to ensure a safe and captivating event. Regardless of driving experience, each driver is encouraged to move at their own pace, providing novices and advanced drivers alike with a unique and thrilling driving experience.

Events last between 4 -- 4 ½ hours in length. During this time, the driver will be guaranteed driving time in all five supercars. You will receive approximately twenty-five minutes of time behind the wheel of each vehicle. Throughout the day, specific rest areas are designated throughout the course in order for drivers to switch out of their cars into new ones. Each driving course is approximately 150 miles and ends at the start location. To commemorate the day, you will receive a special World Class Driving gift. A guest passenger may accompany the driver for an additional $300.

To participate, drivers must be at least 25 years old, hold a valid US or Canadian driving license, and be able to drive the cars without the aid of special equipment. There are no specific weight or height restrictions for participation in a WCD event, however, all of the cars have limited headroom and are fitted with sport seats, which provide lateral support. It is our experience that drivers over 280 lbs or 6'5" or taller may be extremely uncomfortable. Valid one year from date of purchase and subject to availability.
