What's the difference between Dream Racing™ and other experiences?

We operate inside the 300 million dollar Las Vegas Motor Speedway and utilize the FIA certified 1.2 mile road course on the infield. Accessing our straight-away from a fast 3rd to 4th gear corner allows for top speeds of over 145 mph with our fastest street cars. The fleet of cars you will be offered to choose from has no equal in the world and offers, exclusively in Las Vegas and perhaps in the world, the opportunity to drive a real GT Car equipped with racing slick tires. Dream Racing also has a motorsport division complete with its own racing team that competes in some of the most prestigious GT races in the US and these same people transfer their know-how into our daily operations. Included in every driving experience we offer the opportunity to learn the track beforehand in our state-of-the-art simulators thanks to our official partnership with iRacing. We exclusively run on Pirelli PZero tires and are Pirelli's official partner in the US for driving experiences. We have an impeccable safety record: since we opened over ten years ago and after thousands of customers we are the only driving experience in Las Vegas which has never experienced any injury. Despite all these differences we proudly stay competitive in the market and offer the best prices in the industry. You can read and compare our customer reviews online on Yelp, Google or Tripadvisor, and find out why we are the highest-rated driving experience in Las Vegas. Choose us with confidence: our primary goal is our customer's satisfaction, second only to their safety.

Question 6

What happens once I'm at the track?

Accepted Answer

Once you arrive at the race track you will check-in by showing your driver's license (mandatory for all driving experiences) and complete the remaining paperwork for your experience. After that, you will then be taken into the Classroom for your instructional video, and ride alongside an instructor in our discovery laps. Alternatively, you can choose a simulator session where you will take virtual laps around the track. Once training is complete you will change into your racing suit and wear your helmet (mandatory for GT race car experiences and Drift rides only) and will be escorted to the track to participate in your driving experience with your dedicated instructor.

Question 7

Are the cars difficult to drive?

Accepted Answer

They are not. Whether you have selected one of our GT race cars, or one of our street-legal Supercars, all of our vehicles are very easy to drive. Our Supercars and most of our Race Cars are equipped with a no-clutch gearbox and with ABS and traction control. Our GT race are purpose-built track cars which makes them extremely predictable and very responsive. With their aggressive styling, large spoilers, roll cage, and racing slick tires, you will be amazed at how easily they perform. To help you get the most out of your car, you will have your dedicated instructor assisting you from your introductory video session and discovery lap or simulator session to your time behind the wheel. He will assist you as you explore the boundaries of these amazing cars, and make sure your experience is one you will never forget. You will be in control and able to determine the pace: while we celebrate and encourage speed, we can as well guide you in a more relaxed-paced experience. Your instructor will be with you step by step to help you accomplish the type of experience you're looking for and are comfortable with.

Question 8

Am I driving on the actual Las Vegas Motor Speedway?

Accepted Answer

Your experience will take place on the 9 turn - 1.2 mile road course located in the infield of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, surrounded by the world famous superspeedway.

Question 9

What kind of car(s) will I be driving, or riding in?

Accepted Answer

The answer to that depends on the package you've decided to purchase: If you select one of our "Supercar Experiences" you will choose from a selection of supercars as you would find in any sort of exotic car showroom ready for the streets. With names such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, Mercedes, Audi, etc, be prepared to choose from the largest fleet available in the industry. By choosing our "Race Car Experiences" the car you will be driving or riding in will be one of our precision-tuned GT racing cars: Ferrari 458GT or 488GT, Lamborghini Gallardo or Huracan Super Trofeo, Porsche GT3 GT or Cayman GT or Audi R8 GT. Each car is equipped with a race-built engine, racing slick tires, and aerodynamic body kits, all maintained by our industry-leading, world-class technicians.

Question 10

How long does this take?

Accepted Answer

Most of our experiences will take between 1.5 to 2 hrs, from the time of check-in to the final check-out. Driving additional cars will add approximately 20 min for each experience. Should you have a specific requirement of going through the experience quicker, please let us know at the time of check-in and we will make sure to accommodate your request. This could shorten the whole process to 1 hour. On the contrary, if you want to enjoy your time with us and stay longer, watching other drivers on track or taking pictures with our cars, you will be more than welcome to do so. If you are using our complimentary transportation add about an hour for the round trip from and to Las Vegas City Center - The Shops at Crystals.

Question 11

What top speed can I reach?

Accepted Answer

The turn preceding the straightaway is a 3rd to 4th gear corner with an exit speed of 80 to 90 mph. This allows for a top speed at the braking point of over 145 mph with the fastest supercars. The top speed is not only determined by the car you are driving but also by your exit speed from the last corner before the straightaway, you also have to drive and optimize your racing line out of the corner heading onto the straightaway. Each of these parameters has to be considered together as a formula to determine the fastest speed possible. It takes at least 2.5 sec for a supercar to accelerate from 130 to 140 mph. At that speed, it translates to approximately 500 feet. It's easy to understand that if you can approach the straightway 20 or 30 mph faster, the top speed will be much higher.

Question 12

How fast can I drive?

Accepted Answer

We are on a real race track with real GT race cars and some of the fastest supercars on the planet: You can drive as fast as you're comfortable and as fast as you can. Your instructor will be next to you to assist you in accomplishing your goals, should these be faster lap times or a better quality of driving.

Question 13

Can I pass a slower car while on the track?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If during your driving experience you come up on a slower car, your instructor will guide you through passing the slower car.

Question 14

What is the difference between the Supercars and GT Race cars?

Accepted Answer

The Supercars are the exact same street-legal cars that are sold at the dealerships, with no modifications, except that all run on Pirelli Pzero tires. The GT Race Cars are purposely built racing cars from the different manufacturers to compete in actual GT Races. While they share some major components with the equivalent street-legal version (typically chassis and engine displacement) they have improved suspension, brakes, engines, aerodynamics, they feature lightweight components and run on racing slick tires. They are obviously much faster and more fun to drive on track.

Question 15

If I have racing experience, can I drive faster?

Accepted Answer

The instructors in the cars are there to make your experience safe and more enjoyable. It will be their responsibility to judge your skills and help or allow you to go faster. Please let them know about your previous experiences and expectations and they will be happy to adjust their coaching based on it. Good communication is at the base of a successful experience.

Question 16

Is the experience safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We run all of our operations with safety being our priority and we comply with the strict risk management policies of our many corporate clients. In over ten years of being in business we never experienced any type of injury and have accomplished our impeccable safety record through the following features: Track Safety: Our FIA race-sanctioned track, within the Las Vegas Motor Speedway facility, is designed with safety as a priority: large run offs, clear visibility and well maintained track surfaces, combined with an experienced professional Fire and Safety team on site at all times, means you are driving under the best conditions and in the right hands when it comes to your experience. Training: While at Dream Racing, you will be learning from the best. Our drivers are talented race car drivers, including many who are currently active at elite levels of racing. Their experience is directly passed on to you in your driving program which contributes to a safer yet still thrilling driving experience. Instruction: Training and the safety component are emphasized throughout the entire driving experience. Each participant will go through a 10 minute theory class on the basic concepts of driving on a racetrack. Customers will then be offered the option between a simulator session or two discovery laps as a passenger in a high performance SUV driven by our professional instructors, to better prepare them for a safer and more enjoyable experience on track.

Question 17

Can I bring a family member or a friend to watch me drive?

Accepted Answer

There is a viewing area above Pit Lane so your guest can have a bird's eye view of your entire on-track experience from the time you get in the car to the time you are done. They are also welcome to watch the classroom video, watch you drive in the simulator and join you in the Lounge.

Question 18

Can my family and/or friends ride in the race car with me?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately our insurance requirements do not allow passengers in the car, other than your instructor which is required. Your companion(s) can be next to you in all other steps of the experience (theory classroom, simulator session, access pit-lane) and can join you on our high performance SUV during the discovery laps for a surcharge of $20 per person. We offer ride-alongs in all of our cars as well the high adrenaline drift ride for $99. We have a nice viewing terrace from which your family and/or friends can see most of the track and take pictures or videos of your experience while you will be driving.

Is insurance included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Yes, insurance is included in every Dream Racing experience. You will be asked, however, to sign a waiver upon arrival.

Question 20

What happens if I wreck the car? Do I have to pay for it?

Accepted Answer

You will not have to pay for the car's damages in the unlikely event you will be involved in a wreck. All insurance is included in the package prices.

Question 21

How do we count laps?

Accepted Answer

The first lap is the one exiting the pits. When the car passes the first time on the straightaway, in front of the pit lane, it will begin its second lap. The last lap is the one returning to the pit-lane. In a 7 laps experience, for example, this means that on our 1.2 mile racetrack, you will complete a total distance of 8.4 miles, including driving once the pit lane.

Question 22

Does the Hot Laps or Drift experience include the classroom and simulator session?

Accepted Answer

Our Ride-along experiences (hot-laps in GT race cars or Supercars and Drifting) do not include classroom training and simulator sessions but will give you access to the Dream Racing™ Lounge, with refreshment bar. Simulator sessions or Discovery laps sessions can be separately purchased at $20 once on-site.

Shifting is very easy, just pull the paddle behind the steering wheel or ask your instructor to put the car into automatic mode and let the car shift for you. Our Ferrari F430GT, 458GT and Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo are also equipped with no clutch sequential shifting transmission and require a simple pull of the paddle to shift gears. We suggest you to choose our simulator session if you don't have prior experience with paddle shifters which will enable you to quickly learn it. Our instructors are here to make your experience one you will never forget and they want you to be as comfortable as possible behind the wheel and ready to see what these incredible cars can do. If you have questions or concerns, please let your hostess or instructor know at any time during your experience.

Question 42

Question 44

If anyone is concerned about this preventing them from participating, we encourage them to decide when they arrive, testing out the comfortability of multiple cars before making a decision. Our Supercars are street legal cars, equipped with standard seatbelts and adjustable seats. Should the car of your choice feel uncomfortable, you will be offered to switch to a similar car which might have more room. Race cars, since they require the helmet to be driven, might be difficult to comfortably fit in for persons that are 6 ft 6 inches or taller. Feel free to contact our reservations department for recommendations or visit us during our opening hours to test the seating position of the vehicle you wish to drive.

Question 45

Can I drive if I'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Dream Racing does not prohibit pregnant women from participating in the driving experiences, but directs their attention to 1a and 1b of the Waiver which discusses that every participant must be in proper physical condition, and must accept the full risks. It is up to the individual participant to determine if a pregnancy renders her in proper physical condition, and Dream Racing requires an acknowledgement in writing of that individual decision in 1a of the waiver.

Question 46

Can I drive my own vehicle on track?

Accepted Answer

Sadly no, due to overhead, fire and safety and insurance costs associated with our track it's not possible for you to drive your own car here.
