REAL RACETRACKS

We have selected each track to show you the potential of your car a safe environment. Each track has elevation changes, epic curves and turns that are sure to please every level of driver. With careful instruction you can take the track at your own pace, or push to reach triple-digit-speeds in a controlled, and safe way.

PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION

We're not just the Top Dealer in North America - we believe you should have the best in the right seat too. After meeting fellow drivers, having coffee and seeing friends and cars, you'll be guided through classroom instruction on the track "ettiquette" any relevant conditions or instructions for safety. A Driver's briefing is standard for the Pros - we think it's good for you too. Once it's time to drive, you'll meet your dedicated instructor for the day, who will join you in the right-seat, grab a helmet and be directed to Pit Lane. You won't miss the iconic announcement in the hospitality area, "Drivers Ready?"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We're glad you asked!

1. What can I expect at the track?

When you arrive at the track, your pre-inspected Ferrari, Maserati or Alfa Romeo will be greeted by our technicians, and inspected again. You'll meet and greet other drivers, have classroom instruction, and meet your one-on-one instructor for the day. There is food, refreshments, and a lounge area to keep you comfortable inbetween laps and skill-building exercises. Your guests can relax, and listen in to the classroom instruction and driver's briefing. Plenty of opportunities to pause and post to social media if you choose!

2. What is a rally?

Italian car culture is about driving. A rally is when a group of same or similar cars decide to begin and follow each other to the same destination, and arrive as a group. There are famous cross-country rallies, and local ones. 

3. What is a Driver's Briefing?

From Formula 1 to Ferrari Challenge at Le Mans race, to our very own FMOS Driving Experience on the Track - a driver's briefing is necessary - and fun! Safety items, and rules are explained. Pilots do a pre-flight. We have Driver's Briefings. They're good for you.

4. Are helmets required?

Yes. It's for your safety. We will provide them free of charge, or we can help you purchase your own. Contact us if you would like assistance.

5. Can I bring a guest?

Absolutely. It's a relaxing day, and we find that guests have a lot of fun too. There is a nominal fee for guests in the hospitality lounge, children under 12 are always free. 

6. Can my guest ride with me?

No, sorry. Insurance won't let us. And shot-gun is reserved for the pro-driver who's working with you. The silence of a distraction-free cockpit is golden, and that engine sound is all you need to hear...trust us.

7. How long is this experience?

If you choose to rally with us, it will be an 8 hour day. If you meet us at the track, plan on 9am-3pm day to fully experience the program. If you're playing hookey from work, we'll understand if you ghost after lunch.

8. Can I drive something other than my car?

Yes! The idea is for you to drive your own car, so if you really are on the fence about upgrading from your Maserati GT to the CaliforniaT, or your trusty 458 to a 488, contact us for details.

9. What happens when it rains?

We know, it rains, a lot. Rain is good for you, and your car can handle it. There are plenty of features we want you to know how to use. If the weather is cause for cancellation, we will be sure to let you know, and transfer your registration to another open date.

10. Do I need to know how to drive a manual shift?

Only if your car is manual. The supercars are paddleshift now, and can be driven by anyone.

11. I am not a gear-head track guy or gal. Will I understand what's going on?

Absolutely, our courses are tailored to the enthusiast owner. Our team of professionals can meet you at a super-geek level of car-talk, or we can answer your most basic questions. We all had a first track day. We're glad you can join us.

12. I have track experience. I'm almost a pro-driver. Can I drive alone?

No, sorry. Insurance states you have to be one-on-one with a professional in the car at all times. But please let us know, so we can be sure to challenge your skills appropriately.

13. I'd like to host a special event at the track day, how do I get started?

We love celebrations. Surprises. Photographers. Contact us so we can be sure to make the surprise you have in mind successful.

14. Do you offer gift-certificates?

Yes! Please call us at 206-329-7070 to purchase gift certificates.
 
15. What is your cancellation policy?
 
Cancellation policy: 100% refund up to 2 weeks prior to event. Within 2 weeks prior to event cancellations are not allowed and no refund will be provided.
