The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. The entire staff was pleasant and helpful. The driving experience in the 488 was amazing with the driving instructor helping me to go faster each lap.
What really made them over the top in my mind though was their customer service several months later. I had accidentally deleted my video that I had purchased of the drive. I called them up with the hope that maybe it might not have been deleted off their server yet. It had been long enough they could have easily told me that they never keep the videos that long and that would have been that. But the customer service rep took the time to review the files and see if it was still there. Turns out I was in luck and they still had it and they promptly re-sent me the video.

We signed up for the drifting experience, and it was a lot of fun and the driver was extremely friendly and professional. On the flip side they kind of nickle and dime you with all of the add-ons. They offer a video for an almost $40 charge, but then if you have more than one person riding they give each of you a video angle, the problem is the $40 will only cover one angle, the front one. It is a bit frustrating, and kind of cheapens the entire experience in my opinion. As a whole, the experience was entertaining and worth a try, it could just get expensive depending on what you are looking for.
Took our buddy here for his bachelor party. Bought him 7 laps in both a Lamborghini aventador and a Ferarri 488. Unfortunately the Lamborghini had a mechanical issue which made it unable to be driven when we got there, but exotics racing offered 3 other cars in the same price and performance range and gave him 3 extra laps for free. Facility and staff were top notch, definitely visit here if you want to experience exotic super cars for yourself.
My uncle and I went here over Christmas break. He did 20 laps in a Ferrari F430 and I did 20 laps in a Lambo Gallardo. Overall we were pretty happy with the experience. The prep work and classes are quick and entertaining, so you can get on the track in about an hour or so. On the track, the instructors let you go about as fast as you want, within reason of course. However, some instructors were definitely better than others. For example, my instructor, Buddy, was perfect and would only provide guidance when needed. After I got the hang of it, he let me take a few laps on my own. I highly recommend you ask for Buddy if you can as some of the other instructors take away from the experience. On the other hand, the instructor my uncle had made him very stressed, as he was loud, aggressive, not very personable and just wouldn't stop talking the whole time. Search for "LinxuSx" on youtube to see the videos I posted and you will immediately see the difference. The company overall was fantastic though and I would definitely do it again. I had some issues with the traction control on my Gallardo (which could be user error, but neither the instructor nor I were sure what caused it). Exotic Racing comp'd another 5 laps in a Porshce 911 to make up for it. In summary, great experience, superb company, and excellent customer service. Just be sure to ask for Buddy!
Exotics Racing in Las Vegas, NV has a winning formula. The customer service regarding the driver's experience was classy and professional. These folks have a well-oiled machine (no pun intended) in this business model. I had a blast. Go have some fun yourself!
Very addictive. Had an awesome time! The instructors are great - very patient and helpful. The more laps you do, the more comfortable you get, the better you get, the more laps you'll want to do. Can't wait to do it again
The instructor forces you to drive the car well below it's limits so that the cars don't wear out as fast. You can't rev to red-line and they slow you down despite the fact that ESC is far from kicking in. Doesn't make sense to spend that much money on a Lambo to drive it like it's a Camry.
Amazing experience a must visit for car lovers, all the cars are open so you can sit inside them and get a feel for them. Booked the 488 pista and Porsche Carrera what a thrill!
Some Advice: make sure to book more then one car or else you ll kick yourself. And use the first car as a practice car as you re still getting a feel for the track.
Unforgettable experience! Loved every minute of it. No governors or anything silly like that on the cars. Just really helpful pre-race instruction and one-on-one real-time coaching as you navigate the course trying to get the fastest time possible! Can't wait to do this again!
Expensive, but worth it if you want to experience the feeling of being in a supercar on a race track. You can also take photos with and in all the cars.
If you simply enjoy cars this is the place to go in Vegas. You can go out and watch super cars drive the track and an insane Charger slide around if you want. I highly recommend driving them, and every part of the experience is intensely amazing. The instructors are very helpful and ready to make you as fats as you can be. I can't wait to go back and improve my lap time!
For any gear head, this is worth the money! I drove the Ferrari 438 F1, and now I need to go back, pick another car, and get faster! My coach Mark was great. The racing addiction is strong here.
Fast cars, awesome instructors, friendly staff, great briefing, and overall awesome experience. Do the drift, do the driving, and do the super karts, you won t regret it!!
This was a great experience!! Fantastic people I will be back next time I am in Vegas and highly recommend to anyone even remotely interested in cars/racing
I was invited last minute as part of a car group from Kansas City. I had no idea I what I was getting into, but I truly had the time of my life. The girls at the front desk were patient and kind on what was a pretty busy afternoon, as several groups arrived at once. I was surprised at the wide variety of cars they offered, at very reasonable prices. To me, $300 to drive a high-end Ferrari around a track [5 laps] seems like a bargain. Plus you get the experience of walking around millions of dollars worth of cars. Endless photo opps, and beautiful views of the landscape from atop their terrace, where you can see the mountains and watch your friends drive. It was my first time experiencing a high performance vehicle and my instructor, "Buddy" was super patient and fun. He didn't make me feel bad for missing a few cones or braking too soon on a corner. These guys are talented. For a few extra bucks you can have a video of your driving experience, which I also recommend, especially if it's your first time driving. Life is about experiences and I'm still dreaming about this one, days after my trip ended. I have nothing but good things to say about this operation. I will go back next time I am lucky enough to go to Vegas. Check this place out!
The entire experience was amazing. Staff are really friendly. Instructors are really good. Tired 2 cars with the second car at only half price and both were definitely worth it. Will come back here again if I get the chance. Great job!!
One of the funnest things I've ever done. If you like driving and speed there is nothing better. Great instructors and very friendly staff. Highly, highly recommend!!!
We have been multiple times to exotic and enjoyed it. Tried to schedule a not busy time on the weekend for a group of friends couple weeks out and double checked day before . Didn t work out so great. Don t go when they have other events close in schedule We got cattle herded in and out fast.had no time to shoot video of our friends because the business were in hurry to push new groups Got stuck on track with bunch other drivers. Instructors were no where near as personalable and fun as other tracks in Vegas. They have a great ride along drift experience in a hellcat is about the best thing we can say. We went to speed Vegas and dream racing same weekend and would have skipped exotic altogether if we would of known it was going to Be like this now If u want best track and your good driver go to speed Vegas. If your new to racing go to dream racing and want to have a blast Their driving sim will prepare you better and the track environment inside the nascar track and car selection is unbelievable. We will post links to our larger review of all 3 tracks later when complete. Read glass door reviews to understand what s going on at this company to cause these recent problems. It s enlightening
I cannot say enough what an amazing experience i had today at exotics racing. Seeing all the amazing cars, and getting to do laps around the track was such a cool experience. I did 7 laps in the Porsche 991 gt3 and it was fantastic. My instructor Josh was so articulate and easy to understand, I started to really get a hang of the car and the racing line around the track. Even though it was my first time on a track, I was able to clock a 55.59sec best lap, which i was told is a pretty quick lap. Josh was quick to correct my mistakes but also very encouraging when i drove a nice line and it just made the whole experience fantastic start to finish. I have been on cloud nine all day, and if I can come back again some other time, I definitely will!!
Amazing experience! If you are a car enthusiast you have to try it! I liked having a coach and I felt like I was a better driver after. Especially getting to really practice proper brake modulation to control a vehicle. Pay for the extra 2 laps, because that's when you start to understand the course and get your lap times up. And the drift ride along is a must!
Is it a lot of money for a short period of time? Kind of. But if you consider the caliber of trainer you have, the cost of the car (including maintenance) and the ability to drive this car as hard as you are able to (safely) the cost makes sense. It's a business not a charity.
I saw a couple of people whine on here about their experience, but are those people professional drivers? And they complain about the assists on. With a vehicle with that much power you are unfimiliar with, you should have the assists on.
This team teaches you how to drive cars fast on their track, safely. You have to try it at least once.
Amazing location. Fantastic cars, everything was handled safety and professionally. Kickass driving a Ferrari 488! Well worth the money. Much better than SpeedVegas or DreamRacing
Great facility, fun track, fantastic cars and great instructors! Luigi pushed me and made it a blast, especially in the Pista and GT2. Highly recommended.
These guys are fantastic. I booked a drive from Sydney, when I arrived I didn't have my license on me as needed. The email they sent didn't mention that a license was needed (given that it just makes sense to have the license, this is my fault) but it said it in the fine print. OK, mostly my fault - partly theirs (I suggested they add to their emails that a license is required, they agreed). So now what?? Well their policy says I cannot get a refund but can get a credit voucher. I don't plan to come back to Las Vegas so a credit voucher is useless. Long story short, the manager agreed to give a refund provided I went with a different 'experience'. I chose to be a passanger in a car on the track and got the partial refund on the balance. This is the ideal result. I HAD A BLAST! What a fun day which could have easily been ruined if the manager simply stuck to the policy and refused the partial refund. THIS is an example of virtuous thinking by the manager. Thank you so much Exotics Racing. You turned what could have been a terrible experience in to an UNFORGETTABLE one! 5 stars! Great service, great venue, great experience. I will definitely be recommending these guys.
Awesome experience! Went with a buddy of mine and we both really enjoyed our laps, but unfortunately his instructor was REALLY good and mine was difficult to understand. I was in an R8 and he did the NSX and the cars are just amazing. Watching the video really showed the difference between an average instructor and a great one. Still a solid recommendation for those interested.
Had an absolute blast! The entire process from walking in to finally hitting course was first-rate. Took out the GT-R, Gallardo and finally the Italia 458 and the instructors were critical in maximizing the experience. They brought the best out of my runs, easily pushing me past my own limits as a driver.
Couple of suggestions to anyone who goes: Get the USB video. It is insane how much you miss as you focus on the road including just how fast you actually went on the straightaway. You also pick up where you need to improve as I do plan to visit on my next trip to Vegas.
Second suggestion - Take time to determine what car you want to drive as they are so different! I found the Lambo to be my favorite as it was raw, wild and felt like I was on the edge on each corner. Jason (the instructor) was fantastic - he knew the car so well and I was grinning like a madman when I finished the run.
5 Stars isn't enough to describe what this place is like.
Update Dec 2018 [updated from 3 to 4 stars] Came out again to some great instructors. Camera worked in all my session this time. Especially enjoyed getting instruction from JD. His input was concise and I felt it was adjusted well to my experience level. Logistically I was told by a customer rep that I could take the complimentary shuttle (intended for the session before mine) from the Aria to EXR, but the shuttle didn't show up. Calling in, I was told I had to get my own ride there as the shuttle wasn't running at that time. A bit disappointing that didn't work out, but I'll definitely be back again and hope to finally have a 100% positive experience.
Jan 2017 One of the cars I had reserved and paid for in advance broke the week of my EXR experience. I appreciated that they let me know in advance, giving me several options, and put me in a similarly valued car, but it certainly was not my first choice for what I was interested in paying for. I paid for the onboard video, but some of my footage was missing. They offered for me to have a free onboard video on my next visit. It seems like I had some bad luck this time, but I had a positive experience and definitely plan on coming back. I would recommend to ask for instructor Jason Aquino if you are planning to do an EXR experience at Las Vegas. I found his in-car instructions to be concise and helpful for my learning style, and I felt safe with him in the car. Overall I would recommend EXR to friends and hope to bring a new group of friends each time I'm back!
`Don't waste your time if you have some experience on driving fast cars and is expecting to be able to acellerate and take power out of them. The instructor will not allow you to do it, mainly on the curves, where you must go very slow, considering the environment you are in. You can not even shift by yourself. You can shift up and down only when the instructor tells you to do it. It is worth if you want to have the pleasure to drive any of those espetacurlar machinesfor a couple laps. But only for drive, neither far away for running them.
Top Notch. If you're like me and the other 99.9% that can't afford these cars, then this is the place to go. I've been on the track plenty but never in any these exotics, with the exception of R8, and these guys will let you push the cars to whatever level you're comfortable at. The instructors are great and help you learn the track quickly. Let them coach you around the track and in only a few laps they'll have you running 55 second times in a car you've never driven and on a track you've never seen before. The only problem is the laps go by very quickly leaving you wanting more.
Don t pay online they have deals at the track. I pay $100 more at their web site and there reply was no refunds. Really their web site and still make you pay more. Cars. Track and people are great. But if you order on line you pay more
Loved spending the day with ExoticsRacing, a brilliant experience!! Facility is great, staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, the environment offers a lot of challenges for drivers of all skill levels, and the instructors ease the anxiety and help each driver to feel safe and to really improve their abilities!! I will be back for sure, can't wait to keep recommending you guys!! Thank you so much ExoticsRacing Las Vegas!!!!
I purchased a package for my husband s birthday & the experience was fantastic! My husband got to race around the track in his dream car, a Nissan GTR. He was surprised & very happy. He had an awesome time & is now talking about going back to do it again! Thank you to everyone at Exotics Racing!
Great experience, starting with safety, super staff service, facilities, cars and the overall experience. Karts are propperly maintained with a ton of fun in a good controlled safety environment. The ride in the drifting police interceptor CHARGER HELLCAT is a must!
It was awesome especially in the Ferrari 488 it was a blast but when I purchased the video after the experience know one sended the video to me and I hope that I can get it still cause I was very excited to show my family and I also came from Vancouver so it sucks to come home with no video
Awesome time here. I've been to several racing schools and this is one of the best. Great track, not too intimating. Clean facility and cars. Instructor's are great. But the driving experience is awesome. Whether your going here for a blast of fun or to hone your driving skills.. this place is great. Lots of different cars to choose from Ferrari's, Lambo's, Porsche, Nissan GTR and more. Package deals or individual cars experiences. There's nothing like the feel of speed. This place produces that experience
Worst experience ever. I put $400 in trash. I have some knowledge about driving a sport car so for me it was not plasure at all. The driver that rides with you doesn't stop talking, you need to do exactly what he wants. The gear, the More
Very friendly. A bit expensive to drive the cars or ride along however they let me get up close and personal with the cars they had available that day at no charge and also allowed people to spectate without charge as well.
2nd time here are Exotics. I enjoyed this time much more than then the last time. Buddy is a great instructor, calm relaxed and made handling the 488 enjoyable. That said, the ties on the car I drove were shot and I could feel it. But they are very organized and professional here. If you can find a good deal its worth giving it a shot. Better than wasting money at a casino that's for sure! Men and women should try it.
Fun staff, knowledgeable instructors, well-maintained cars and track and an overall great time if you have reasonable expectations and a fairly deep wallet.
If you want to have the opportunity to drive a super-car on a closed road course, learn a little and ensure that you are going to be safe, this is a great way to go as long as you can afford the price to play.
If you are used to going to 'track days' or run SCCA races and having free reign, if you don't like to listen or take direction, or you already own a super-car, then you probably aren't going to have a great time.
If you are a 'car guy/gal', speed freak and dream of having a super-car, are willing to listen, take instruction, and understand that your time in the car will fly by, you will have a blast.
Like any place that takes your money, this is a business. They are there to provide an excellent customer experience. They are also there to make money. They can't do that unless their nearly $200K cars are well-running and in one piece. They also can't do that if people are stupid and injure themselves (think insurance and bad reviews).
I had the opportunity to drive three different cars, with three different instructors. The cars (McLaren, Porsche and Lamborghini) were all as different as the instructors. None were bad. They were all fun. They were all different. The thing that was consistent was the non-stop instruction and that they will push you to get better and go faster as long as you are listening and acting accordingly. I was able to get the McLaren up to over 125 on the straight, and the average of my best lap in each cars was under the 60 second mark.
I only wish I had more than 5 laps per car and that it was more affordable for the average gear-head. Your laps will be over before you know it. I understand the reason for the price: the cars are expensive, they have a lot of quality staff, a well-maintained facility and I can only imagine their insurance premiums. Looking at it from this perspective, it is reasonable.
A well run operation, every employee was very polite and professional, ie: let s have fun, but stay safe. My driving instructor was a welcome addition, at one point he kept the Porsche gt3 rs from going sideways on the backside of the track. The instructor had the right balance of more throttle and brake . 120 mph on the straight, passed two other cars, and 57 seconds around the track, I enjoyed every moment. The Porsche gt3 rs is the car to pick for this experience.
Not cheap, but THE chance to ride 5 laps with a cool pasta or Bretzel rocket! Adrenaline is guaranteed when you give full throttle from the bend on the straights. There is an intro, two rounds visit in a group in the Cayenne, then driving with coach in the passenger seat ... I can only recommend the $ 440,000 Lamborgini Aventador Careful, you will not get that grin out of your face anytime soon.
Awesome cars, fun track but the best part are the instructors. I'm a fairly decent driver and drive a 500+ hp car myself, but have never been on a track. The instructor helped me take and keep the car at the limit though, right after the first lap. These guys definitely know what they are talking about. They do a great job helping you to get the most out of your experience. It does get busy, so there is some waiting involved. Bring a snack and water. It's definitely worth it though. A truly memorable experience!!
This is the main reason we came back to Vegas!! Second time here and still impresses! The first time at Exotics I was passenger in the Corvette Drifting Experience and laughed/screamed the entire time. Highly Recommend as well!! Coming back a second time my husband talked me in to driving my own vehicle this time... My heart was POUNDING I was so nervous! I've never driven a fast car before OR one with paddle shifters. My Instructor was Michael Hayes (sp?) who clearly and calmly instructed me through the whole track experience with added humor. I laughed and smiled the entire time, while I gripped the hell out of the steering wheel. Omg what a freaking blast!! I am so glad he was my instructor. Might I mention that I was only 5 and 7 seconds slower than the guys I went with. So thanks micheal haha, we will be back! With a looser grip and in a faster car! ;)
A lotta of fun! Took the GT3 for a blast and really enjoyed it. A very professional company who take the time to ensure you have a safe and super experience. Highly recommend to put on anyones bucket list. My instructor was super cool and very helpful. Thank you Exotics Racing.
BEWARE OF THEFT! The racing was fun, the instructor talked way too much but that was ok. the problem I had is I left my AMEX credit card with the front desk (they require an ID or CC and since my son was doing a ride along, I left the CC for him and ID for me) and this is the one and only time my credit card was out of my control and there was 8 FRAUDULENT charges on my credit card that day. Luckily AMEX wiped off the charges. Obviously they have thief's working for them. so BEWARE.
Also, the "car" they sent for us never showed up. so by the time we took a taxi out there, we missed our time and had to sit around for a hour waiting for next class. The car driver finally called me for pickup at exactly the same time we were supposed to be driving. They were not even willing to compensate me for the cost of the taxi.
It was an awesome experience...worth every penny ....went 7 laps on a shelby GT500... and afterwards did the drift...Guarantee i will be making another trip...
If you are into cars, you MUST do this. I can see where it may be a little stressful to a non-car person. But it is awesome if you drive/have driven fast, good handling cars. All of the employees were professional, but laid back. They make sure you have a good time. It is a little pricey, but where else are you going to get the opportunity to beat the hell out of these kinds of cars. I will definately do it again.
Exotics racing definitely exceeded my expectations in every way, shape, and form! My girlfriend and I were greeted before we even walked in the door and encouraged to walk inside and take pictures/sit in the rest of the cars inside (because we were taking pics with the Ferrari that was outside). Once inside, the anxiety/excitement/nervousness was relieved because everyone inside makes you feel at home with all the smiles and hospitality. The driving instruction "class" is very helpful, gets you hyped up, and very brief! I drove the nissan gt-r and the lamborghini huracan. Originally I had only booked the huracan but they were running a special on the gt-r for $150 for 5 laps. So I took booked the gt-r for the 5 laps to get a feel for the track. Then I took the hurcan out and had Buddy as my instructor and he was great! He uses his hands and words to instruct you and it's so helpful when you're driving a car that powerful. I booked my girlfriend the drift ride along and it was amazing listening to that corvette with all that power taking off out of the pits. After all the driving and riding is over, the people there encourage you to sit in/take pics with every car. Everyone is so friendly from start to finish. I definitely recommend this place to anyone that has fantasized about one day driving/owning one of these super cars. Tremendous experience from start to finish!
Today I went for my 2nd visit to Exotics Racing LV and drove the new 991.2 GT3 after having driven the 991.1 GT3 2 years before. 2 times in a row I've had Mike as an instructor and the bloke is a legend. Trys to push you to your full while also having a good laugh and general talk with.
Highly recommend Exotics Racing and Mike.
Mike, I will return to drive the GT3 RS with you soon!
This was really awesome. Give you a great idea what it is like to race. I will do this again. The hellcat ride along is really fun. They will want to sell you video of your drive which is actually cool.
i paid for 5 laps i only got 4 you can see it in my video...the video was VERY poor they offered me a hat for the poor quality and inconvenience and told me they would email a coupon for a free video next trip, they never did i live in Florida and cant get back any time soon and if i did i would probably not get what i paid for anyways...driving these cars was a dream of mine, i'm very disappointed i didn't get what was promised
So good, I race motocross and this brings up all those racer feelings. The whole experience was epic. My instructor @obrienracing was amazing, tried to get the best out of me the whole time, fantastic dude! If this stuff is on your radar as something to try these are the guys you want! DO IT!!
Went here over this last Labor Day weekend and let me say, it was incredible! I drove the Skyline GT-R and I loved every second of it and it was worth every penny. I had Pete as an instructor and he did a great job of keeping things light, because it is an intense experience. He was a lot of fun and really helped me get into a groove. If you want to go all out, they are there to help you do so. He even pushed me to catch up to a Ferrari on the straight. I was maybe 40 feet off the bumper of the Ferrari doing over 100 mph and he said to just keep pushing it, which was a very unique experience. Insurance is included with the car purchase and there were really no hidden fees. Like was said in another review, they do make a point that the instructors do really count on tipping and it was well worth a $20 tip. They had a deal going for an extra two laps for $40, so I spent $350 total to drive the GT-R 7 laps. This included the shuttle bus to and from the Hotel, the in class time and a scouting lap, the 7 laps in the car with the instructor, and tip. Great experience, would do it again in a heart beat. Don't worry about the cost, this was some of the best money ever spent!!!
