Each driver wishing to drive must have their individual timeslot booked.

Absolutely! You can book as many cars as you wish by adding them to the shopping cart one by one and assigning a time slot and number of laps for each vehicle.

Please note there are no refunds on certificate or booking purchases. All sales are final. Services and products purchased can only be exchanged or transferred to another person.

Track Day Experience is open to anyone 16 years of age and over with G1, G2, G or any foreign country driver’s license.

Ride along participants can be 7 y.o. and up and do not require driver’s license.

To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking your date, time and car as soon as possible. Our Track Days are extremely popular and fill up fast! Cars are reserved online on first come first served basis.

Every effort is made to provide you with the car you have reserved, however if due to unforeseen circumstances or unexpected maintenance we are unable to do so, we will provide you with equivalent or higher value car.

There’s always a professional Instructor in a passenger seat next to the driver for the duration of the driving session. Unfortunately, this leaves no room for additional passengers since most of the cars have two-seats.  The Muscle cars are the only cars on the track with back seats and can accommodate up to 2 passengers. If you are looking for an Exotic or Supercar experience that you can add a passenger to, please consider a 30 min. Test Drive.

All Track experience packages include general instructions and two discovery laps in a pace car (discovery van) where the instructor will drive around the track to show you the layout.  They will also guide you on the proper driving technique which will include hand position on steering wheel, braking points, the racing line, apexes and other important facts to make you feel more comfortable. For your convenience the Discovery laps vehicle runs continuously throughout the day and you can ride it for more than 2 laps if preferred.

Helmet is NOT required for all the cars, with an exception of the 2 race car models Lamborghini Super Trofeo and Ferrari 458 Challenge. If you have booked one of these 2 racecars please bring your own helmet or a helmet will be provided to you free of charge on the spot.

While there’s no speed limit and you may go as fast as you can, we encourage drivers to drive within their ability, in other words having control over the vehicle at all times. Should you operate the car in a manner that puts yourself, our instructor or anyone else on the track in danger, spin the car or take it off the track or hit a pylon your experience will be over immediately, and you will not be able to continue. No refunds will be issued for incomplete laps.

Laps completion time depends on individual driver’s speed and skill level. On average it takes 1.5 to 2 minutes per lap on a 1.5 km lap distance.

We accept Cash and all major Debit and Credit cards including: Visa, Amex, Mastercard.

Powered by GoPro our In-Car recording provides an incredible opportunity to capture your drive on video with a Dual camera footage.  An amazing chance to re-live your entire experience later all over again in the comfort of your home! You will receive a digital file with your video recording within 5 business days following your Track day and will easily be able to share it with your friends and family. Video package can be purchased online, at the time of booking or at the registration on the Track day. All videos are stored in our database for ONE YEAR following the event, in case you misplace the link.

GTA Exotics driving experiences do NOT require drivers to provide security deposit or purchase additional Insurance. However, it is recommended to have a coverage for “non-owned” vehicles as part of your personal automobile insurance (commonly known as OPCF-27). This endorsement will cover you for any at fault damages to the rental vehicle.

All our cars are automatic and semi-automatic with an option of switching gears manually using paddles. Manual transmission with foot clutch is considered to be an outdated technology in a high performance car world. As a result most luxury and high-end automakers had discontinued producing vehicles with manual transmission awhile back.

Participants need to wear comfortable clothes for driving and closed-toe shoes, preferably sneakers. Flip Flops and high-heels are not allowed.

There’s no weight or height restrictions imposed by GTA Exotics, as long as you feel comfortable in the car. You may find that some of the cars (e.g. Lamborghini) are less roomy than other makes. Should you not feel comfortable in the exotic car that you reserved, our staff will be happy to offer you alternative vehicle on the spot.

At Grand Bend Motorplex in Grand Bend we use a 1.5 kilometer configuration.

At the Canadian Tire Motorsport park in Bowmanville we use a DDT course (Driver Development Track) and open up entire 3 kilometer track configuration.

Please note: All Track packages are sold on a 1.5 km distance (1 lap=1.5 km). Should you choose to attend Canadian Tire Motorsport park (3 km) the final laps will be adjusted accordingly.
