Supercar Life Featured on Fox News
In Fontana, California, at the Auto Club Speedway getting a taste of what it’s like to race half-million dollar cars.
The experience is called “Supercar Life,” and for a little under $6000, you can drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porshe, Aston Martin and Mercedes AMG at speeds you’ve never felt before. It’s an all day clinic for only about a dozen people, taught by pro race-car drivers.

Up the long side of the Auto Club Speedway at 110; downshifting around the curve through the cones; up the back stretch at 130mph; sss-curves around some cones; accelerating to 147mph again. I didn’t realize i was alternately screaming and laughing until Dag asked if I was OK. I was MORE than OK, and shouted “yes” when he asked if I wanted a third turn around the track.
I dont consider myself a car person, but i do love an adrenaline rush. Supercar Life gives us speed junkies a means to breathlessness.
