Thompson Speedway is the perfect place to experience the thrill of driving some of the world’s most exotic supercars. Located in Thompson, Connecticut, this 1.7-mile road course features 11 turns, including a sweeping high-speed turn onto the main straight. It is utilized for both open lapping and racing and hosts several racing series, such as the New England Exotic Car Racing Series, the Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park American-Canadian Tour, the Thompson Speedway Vintage Racing Series, and the Thompson Speedway Legends Series.

At Thompson Speedway, you can compare a Ferrari 488 GTB to a Lamborghini Huracán and Porsche 911 GT3 RS in a head-to-head, apples-to-apples comparison. You’ll get to experience four laps in each car, giving you the chance to compare the performance of each vehicle. This is your chance to live your dream of being a Top Gear presenter and test drive three of the world's best supercars!

What do I need to drive?
You must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license. Unfortunately, driver’s permits, passports, and photos of licenses aren’t accepted. And remember, all drivers must wear flat, closed-toed shoes (think tennis shoes or sneakers)—sandals and heels won’t cut it on the track!

What should I expect on the big day?
Arrive at least 30 minutes early at the designated spot. Start with a quick registration, followed by a safety briefing and driving instructions. For driving experiences, you’ll meet your pro instructor, get acquainted with the vehicle, and then hit the track for your adrenaline-filled adventure. Professional photographers and videographers will be there to capture all the action, with the option to purchase these keepsakes afterward.

Do I need to know how to drive a stick?
No worries! All supercars come with a semi-automatic transmission, so they handle just like an automatic car.

What kind of insurance coverage is included?
The experience includes basic coverage with $20,000 in protection and a $6,000 deductible. You’ll also have the option to upgrade your policy on the day of your experience.

Do I need prior racing experience?
Not at all! This experience is designed for drivers of all levels, so anyone can live out their dream of racing a supercar!

How fast will I be going?
Your top speed will depend on your comfort level, skill, and the track’s layout. Trust us—whether it’s your need for speed or finesse, this supercar will deliver! Consider adding a 3-lap ride-along before your driving experience to get a feel for the track and speed with a pro driver.

Can I use my own GoPro or drone on the track?
Personal cameras can’t be mounted on vehicles, drivers, or riders as they pose a risk of falling off, and drones are prohibited per track rules. Don’t worry though; multiple photo/video packages are available for purchase on the day!

Can I bring a passenger?
Not in the driver’s seat! The supercars only have two seats, and your “co-pilot” will be a professional driving instructor. They’ll guide you on the track and help you push your skills to the limit.
