Anyone know of a place around the metro area where you could do track events? Only looking for places that provide you the car. Do these exist?

Hoping i could find a track where you could take a porsche for a couple laps

im sure this is unrealistic and comes with high deposits. hell, ive seen jet ski rentals require upwards of $1,000 deposits.

 

You can test drive pretty much anything in NYC... For track Englishtown NJ.

 

yeah, but its not worth the akwardness of a fake test drive.

could you rent a trackcar @ Englishtown?

 

^ you need to bring your own. What some of my friends do is they rent a Gallardo of Ferrari for a day, and drive the crap out of it. Of course, there is a risk. If you damage it, you've bought it.

Search for exotic rentals in NYC. You should get a nice compilation.

I cannot think of any facility that allows you to rent cars. The few that exist all allow you track time, but it's with your car...

 

eh, the fact that i no longer have my own car and live in NYC are not helping the cause.

gotham wants $4,000 to rent a gallardo spyder for a weekend!

 

How far are you willing to travel? A plane ticket to Phoenix is a lot cheaper than renting a Lambo in NYC.

wow, that really puts the rip-off factor in perspective that flying somewhere else is a cheaper alternative option.

couldnt you get an american car in stick from enterprise for a couple hundred? cobra/viper, etc.

 

^ I'm not sure if they even rent "stick" cars anymore... especially in metro areas. Even each companies "fun" cars are mainly auto...

 

Limerock in Western, Connecticut

 

^ No good. Have to either be a member of the track club or an auto club to get onto that track... and you have to have your own car. Can't rent one at the track to use...

 

I think Skip Barber has a school at Lime Rock. Skidpad school maybe they give you BMW's or mustangs and bring your own. Track school puts you on the track in open wheelers...Have a couple of friends that did the track school, they both loved it. One of the guys became a much better street driver, permanently.

 

I think your age might be an issue as well.
