Ever want to drive a luxury sports car? You can, at DriveXotic! Located in Cresson, Texas, DriveXotic offers an incredible driving experience, allowing drivers the chance to get behind the wheel of many popular high-end sports cars. From McLaren to Lamborghini, DriveXotic has many of the cars that enthusiasts dream to drive.
As part of the package, DriveXotic enforces a mandatory training class. Why? Because you’re not going to be driving this car at 15 miles an hour around a parking lot. No, you may be driving the car you choose on a 1.3-mile-long racetrack at speeds over 100 miles an hour!
The class will tutor you on racetrack driving, along with how it differs from ordinary street driving. The instructor will also teach you advanced techniques that apply in certain situations. More of us regular drivers could probably stand to learn some of these tips.
When you’re in the car, an instructor will be sitting in the passenger seat, giving you advice as you drive the vehicle. You drive for either four or seven laps, depending on the package you get.

You can also get a “recon lap.” With the “recon lap,” you take a tour of the track with the instructor before you get behind the wheel. That might help if you’re having a hard time learning techniques in a classroom.
If you don’t want to drive one of these cars, but you do want the experience of whizzing around the track at 100 miles-per-hour, DriveXotic offers a passenger seat option.
You can sit in the passenger seat while a trained driver takes on a very high-speed tour of the track. You need to be at least 13 years old in order to do this. That might be a great 16th birthday present for a teenage car fan.
For the observers in your family, DriveXotic offers a great upstairs viewing area. You can watch your loved one drive around the track. Then you can come down and take pictures!

Another “extra” that DriveXotic offers is a custom-made video for each driver. This video features an in-car cam along with an overlay showing the instrumentation as the car drives. Of course, there’s a track cam and an outdoor cam too. You can see the track from the driver’s perspective, along with some video of you in your cool wheels.
So, if you find yourself in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and want a once-in-a-lifetime experience, try going to DriveXotic! You could find yourself zooming down the track in the car of your dreams.
