DriveXotic

I purchased the 4 lap experience with the Lamborgini for my husband plus the video for about $ 200 for Valentine’s Day. When I checked out their website I was blown away thinking one can actually drive those amazing cars and experience the thrill all in a controlled environment. I thought it would be allowed to actually drive at high speeds, it was NOT. I was under the impression after reading their website that you either ride as a passenger or you get to drive the vehicle. I will say the purchase process and their paperwork was simple and the video during registration before the drive was very informative and helped explain how the track is. (oh if you want to actually drive the track before your purchased laps, you can do so for an ADDITIONAL $ 50, who does that?! That should totally be included in all purchased laps, what a rip-​off)
First of all, my husband is 6’2″ and about 260lbs. He asked one of the registration ladies which car was the roomiest because he was concerned he would not fit. She said all the cars were about the same in the interior but that he would fit with no problem — NOT TRUE, he was not even able to wear the helmet, he had the seat pushed as far back as possible and his legs were still crouched — He said he drove with his head and neck hunched over, legs crouched, and pressing the gas pedal with the side of his foot (total bummer) — The biggest disappointment of all was finding out that you do NOT drive the vehicle alone, there is an instructor in the passenger seat the ENTIRE time telling you when to brake and when to accelerate, womp womp. (If you did not obey the instructor, the drive would be cancelled immediately) My husband said he didn’t even get to enjoy the fact he was driving a Lamborghini because he was so concentrated on obeying all the instructor’s driving commands, he says he cannot even remember what the car looked like inside and the drive was nothing but turn after turn with no room to gain speed.
Oh there is a «pit stop» area where the family can wait and watch from afar and take pictures with the car afterwards.
This experience would best be suited for young kids who can get a thrill of «driving» an awesome car with a chaperone the whole time OR for those into track driving. I understand the company’s concern with liability and injury issues, but this was NOT what we expected — My husband was never allowed to go over 90 and I watched the video which shows the speedometer the entire time — what a waste of money — that’s what I get for trying to do something different instead of the same ol’ dinner and a movie

Very cool experience! Drove a Lamborghini and enjoyed every minute! The staff is very professional, informative and friendly.
