Hello everybody

I am looking for an experience where i am able to drive a various number of exotic cars.

Or any ideas in how to get an affiliation with an exotic car club?

Thank you.

This might go a little off topic but maybe you should save money and go drive a real race car.

I've seen this blog where people who have driven Saleen S7(TwinTurbo) and Aventador said the Indy 500 cars are in completely different world.
Apparently it will change your view about exotic cars because in the end, they're just made for hauling people just like Corolla.

I have never driven a real race cars, but the sound, acceleration, G-force, agility, tires grip unbelievably hard at corners, everything is not even comparable to street legal cars.
And for the price to rent those luxury cars like Ferrari and Lambo...you could easily drive real race cars.

Real Indy 500 cars, slightly de-tuned engine.

I don't know if I would recommend this. They use "Indy Style" cars, which is just a kit car with Chevy V8 engine in it. It's not a de-tuned real Indy car or anything.


Pirelli F1 Experience

Starting price of $12,995. If you have cash, go ahead.

The best exotic experience I've had is in Vegas. There's nothing like driving an exotic all out on the track. I mean sure its nice to drive one around town, but babying the car the whole time really isn't that much fun, might as well rent a BMW if you're staying at speeds. S2S Exotics is nice, you get the open up the car a little, but you're not pushing the vehicle beyond what you typically do on the S2S in your own modded vehicle. So really you don't get the full blown experience of driving the car. I think S2S also offer Pitt Meadows Drag races, which is a step up, but nothing beats racing a car on the track, hitting those high speed corners.

There is some local car club thingy where people can pay a set amount to rent something daily or weekly. Or another way in is you buy an exotic and leave it with their fleet while you try out their other cars.
Forgot what it was called tho.

Unless you're talking about Racing Kart.
Just like Formula 1, Racing Kart is regulated by FIA.

Racing Kart is still a lot scarier than Aventador or Ferrari 458.
It may be small, but it goes up to 130+km/h(which feels like 200mph) and you can corner up to 4G a lot more than ANY street cars can.


Real F1 racer like Michael Schumacher use Racing Kart to practice all the basics as well.

Don't take my word for it, because I have never driven both Ferrari and real race cars.
But every single one of people who have driven both will tell you that exotic cars are just luxury boat, not meant for speed.
