Tours and experiences around Austin and the Hill Country.
Track drive vs. exotic rental
A track experience lets you drive hard, legally, with an instructor and no speed limits on a closed course, for a few laps. An exotic rental gives you a car on public roads for hours or days, with posted limits and a large security deposit. For a single unforgettable drive, the track wins. For a weekend cruise through the Hill Country, see rentals at our sister site Lucky Life Exotics.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need racing experience?
No. Track experiences are designed for regular licensed drivers. You get a safety briefing and a professional instructor rides with you.
How old do you have to be?
Drivers generally must be 18 or older with a valid driver's license. Xtreme Xperience says all participants must be over 18 to ride or drive at COTA; Longhorn says drivers must be 18 and ride-along participants 12 or older.
What if it rains?
Most providers run in light rain and reschedule for unsafe conditions. Check the provider's weather and rescheduling policy before you buy.
