Dream Racing, the five-star
racing experience, is now open at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Dream Racing offers thrill seekers the
opportunity to become a race-car driver for the day, taking a track-ready
Ferrari F430 GT for fast laps just like a professional. Dream Racing is the only place in Las Vegas
where participants can take to the track at the wheel of a true automotive
machine specifically tuned for professional Gran Turismo (GT) Racing.
Former race car drivers
Enrico Bertaggia and Adriano De Micheli have created the ultimate first class
racing experience for consumers, designed from years spent on the professional
racing circuit. “We have traveled around
the world throughout our racing careers,” said Bertaggia. “When we conceived the Dream Racing concept
we knew that Las Vegas, with all of its energy and excitement, would provide
the ideal location for such an exhilarating luxury adventure.”
The three hour Dream Racing
experience begins with a shuttle to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from the
exclusive pick-up location inside Crystals at CityCenter. Once at the track, participants are greeted
by hostesses who will guide them through each step to the finish line. First on the agenda is a 15 minute classroom
instruction in the dedicated theater room to learn the proper handling of the
2700 pound race car. After that, racers get familiar with the twists and turns
of the Las Vegas track with a session on the unique 3D professional simulators
powered by iRacing.com, which features a laser scan of the track, and provides the
realistic preparation necessary for the live driving portion of the day.
Adrenaline starts to build as
the racing suits and helmets are donned in the locker room and drivers make
their way to the cars. Drivers climb into the cockpit of a Ferrari and fasten
the safety belts as a professional racing instructor takes the passenger seat,
ready to provide guidance as needed. The
pit crew preps for the start and the drivers are on their way in a race car
able to go from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
The 1.1 mile track is a permanent circuit designed to professional race
specifications and features low, medium and high speed corners and a straight
with a maximum speed of approximately 120 miles per hour.
After completing the five
laps it is back to the custom designed lounge to revel in the thrill with
fellow racing comrades and their guests before heading back to the Las Vegas
Strip. The lounge encompasses a gift
shop with branded merchandise for both men and women, a ‘bar’, large screen TVs
with live action from the track, and the opportunity to follow all activities
on pit lane from a panoramic window.
“Taking control of a racing
car specifically built for the track is an unmatched experience that delivers
indescribable emotions to drivers and passengers,” said De Micheli. “There is simply no comparison to a street
car, much like there is no comparison between a jumbo airliner and jet fighter
plane.”
The Dream Racing cars feature
a steering wheel paddle shift, traction control and abs system, making the
experience accessible to anyone with a driver’s license. Even at speeds that
would not be street legal, the Ferrari F430 GT will prove to be more responsive,
easier to handle and safer than most road cars. Dream Racing brings
participants as close as possible to the thrill that only professional race car
drivers have of taking these incredible machines to their limit.
The Dream Racing experience
includes five exhilarating high speed laps around the track, instruction from
professional drivers, use of racing suit and helmet and transportation between
Crystals at CityCenter and Dream Racing for an all inclusive fee of $499. Five
additional laps may be purchased for a supplementary $399 fee, and those that
want the thrill of the race as a passenger can ride with a professional for two
laps for $179.
Dream Racing offers
experiences for individuals and groups and can create custom racing events for
corporate groups as well. To book, call
