exotic supercar racetrack experience in LA - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

cdrazic93 · 06-24-2014, 03:16 AM

So near my 21st birthday, I'll be visiting my sister in california. I had a nice thought, while im down there i might as well go to LA and spend some bucks for a really fun driving experience. My budget is $400.

Which car (or two car combo) should I choose?

I may or may not work there. Instructors work for tips.

$400 budget? I recommend you spend a little more and do the Superleggera, and a ride-along.

I did the MP4-12C last year and honestly wouldn't waste $300 on it again. I would rather spend $300 on one day of open lapping in my own car. Sure the car was very fast and exotic, but it was also boring and computerized, and you only get a few laps.

I'm considering doing this in Orlando this fall... the available cars are:

Seems to me the GT-R is the best bang for the buck... but driving a Lambo or Ferrari is an entirely different thing.
@CSG Mike, I've got no car track time under my belt but I might have done 120+ on the street and I might sometimes take low speed corners at 2.5 times the recommended speed.

Think it's worth the money to give it a try? The reviews on Trip Advisor vary WILDLY from "LOVED it" to "they wouldn't let me go over 95 mph and kept cutting the power on me".

F430 scuderia. Youre welcome.

That orlando "track" looks weak. I'd say save your money. It's designed to keep you off throttle and slow.

Compare:

Granted, I work for Exotics Racing, but you won't be babying the car if the instructor is comfortable with your driving at EXR.

I didn't do something completely like this, but I had an experience in a Sprint Cup car at Auto Club and it was really fun. The spotter dude even told me I was hitting the spots like a pro, so that was nice. I'd love to try an exotic though.

Just when I was about ready to go for it... LOL.

Based on the reviews, your analysis of the Orlando track sounds about right. I'd certainly prefer EXR. Maybe I need to come out.
