Next, you will take a 2-lap ride along in a Porsche Cayenne with a professional driver showing you how to optimize your time on the track.
Once your orientation is complete, you will finally be given the keys to unleash the power of the Mercedes AMG GT R on the track! Your racing instructor will assist you throughout your drive time to help you get the most out of your experience.
About the Road Course: Located at the SpeedVegas Motorsports Park complex, this course is one of the longest and most commonly run configurations in exotics racing, boasting 1.2 miles in length, 8 turns, and a 2,000-foot straightaway. Its high-speed banked bowl turn allows cars to race at speeds well above what is legal on any road in the United States, prompting the ultimate adrenaline rush for any driver!
