Certain transport and destination experiences just go together perfectly – much like Aston and Martin: gondola rides in Venice, yellow cabs in New York, tuk-tuks in Bangkok and, of course, caning supercars (responsibly, naturally) in Los Angeles. Forgetting the speed limit isn’t usually advice you should follow, but here in the vista of California, with a backdrop of the world-famous Auto Club Speedway, it’s a way of life.
This thrilling petrol-head experience is your ticket to hop in your dream car for 2 hours of pedal-to-the-metal bliss. Once you’ve pulled yourself away from goggling at the surroundings (and the incredible motors on display – we’ll get to that), you’ll go through some one-to-one coaching and instruction by a professional racing instructor. All the gear is provided, and once you’re all kitted out, they’ll take you through a 30-minute safety orientation that’ll put you through your paces and make sure you’ll be able to push your chosen car to its limits. You’ll cover proper driving position, steering techniques, car specifications (power, gearbox, braking and accelerating) and they’ll teach you proper racing lines. These guys love speed as much as you, so don’t worry, it’s all exciting stuff.
Whoa! Hold your horsepower there, racers. We’re not quite ready to jump in the driver’s seat just yet. Trust us, it’s worth the wait. It’s time to jump into a Porsche Cayenne GTS for a 2-lap test drive in the passenger seat first so you can get used to the conditions of the track, as well as the sight of the world flying past.
And now (finally!), it’s time to take your choice of supercar out for some hot laps with your experienced co-pilot encouraging you throughout. It’s a blast. In fact, the only problem is choosing which automotive work of art to drive. Will it be the Lamborghini Gallardo lp560, Ferrari F548 GT, McLaren 570s, Nissan GTR, Aston Martin Vantage…
Speed is the name of the game on this track, so hit the gas and feel the rush, accelerating up to 130 miles per hour around the circuit. The Auto Club Speedway is built for high-speed races, and has hosted the likes of Nascar and races from the National Hot Road Association. You’re in good company here, so put in those fastest laps to end up in pole position on the podium.

Don’t worry if you’ve missed a payment or just need a little more time to pay; we have options available to help you. If your holiday is going ahead as planned, you can continue to pay for your holiday in Manage my booking, even if travelling in less than 12 weeks. If you’re unsure, you can delay any additional payments by choosing a new time to travel by requesting a call back in Manage My booking for one of our team to look at options. If your holiday is more than 6 months away, you may wish to set up a Direct Debit to spread the cost. This can be arranged whilst rebooking or afterwards in Manage my booking.

Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
You can contact our team by emailing feedback.backhome@virginholidays.com to discuss options on unused portions of your holiday. If you need to contact our team about amending an existing holiday or requesting a refund please log in to manage my booking.
