Driving the Porsche GT3 on the Sears Point road course race track was a bucket list item for me and it was well worth it. Even more spectacular was the ride along, what an eye opener for what race car drivers go thru each lap. I have a higher appreciation for their talent and stamina in a race.

What happens on the day
It's time to put the pedal to the metal!
Your unforgettable day kicks off with a 20 to 30-minute classroom session. A professional instructor will teach you everything you need to know about braking, steering, and driving your powerful supercar.
Then, it’s time to race! Grab your helmet, hop in the driver’s seat, and feel the engine purr to life beneath your fingertips. Plus, an instructor will be in the passenger seat the entire time. They’ll give you real-time feedback and pointers on how to get the most out of both the course and your car!
The Porsche 911 GT3 992: This powerful supercar offers unparalleled handling and grip. Its aerodynamic design generates 850 pounds of downforce, outpacing its predecessor, the 991.2 GT3 RS. It's the ultimate choice for those seeking a thrilling ride!
Sonoma Raceway: Tackle this hilly road course, roaring through turns as you challenge yourself with the 160 ft of elevation change. Just 30 miles north of San Francisco, this 1.95 mile course pushes supercars through sweeping corners and tight turns before allowing them to experience full acceleration on the straightaway.

(This is Ed's wife, Karen speaking): This experience was a surprise gift for my husband's 70th birthday. And boy was he surprised! He was also extremely thrilled with the whole experience from top to bottom. I was as well! The staff was wonderful to work with, the experience was well run, efficient, and professional. They even provided the perfect weather - lol! The pictures and video provided for purchase after the event was a nice touch and now we can relive the experience over and over again. I would highly recommend this fantastic experience for the car and/or racing enthusiast in your life! You won't be disappointed, and neither will they!
