I recently attended an exotic car race day event where I had the opportunity to drive multiple high-performance cars, including sessions in the GT3 RS and AMG GTR with instructors Nino and Eric.
Before hitting the track, I made it clear to both instructors that I welcomed critical feedback—I wanted to improve quickly and learn as much as possible. Both Nino and Eric delivered exactly that, providing constructive insights that helped me develop as a driver in a short amount of time. Their professionalism and direct coaching style made the experience not only enjoyable but also incredibly valuable. I left feeling motivated to come back and spend even more time in different vehicles to better understand what suits me best.
For me, this wasn’t just about the thrill of the drive—it was a practical way to “try before you buy.” Getting real seat time on track with a car is far more cost-effective than purchasing one outright and later realizing it doesn’t match your expectations. This kind of experience is an essential step in the buying process for anyone seriously considering an exotic car.
One thing I think deserves more recognition is the instructors themselves. These professionals get in the passenger seat with drivers of varying skill levels, putting their trust—and lives—in the hands of others. That takes serious courage and commitment, and I think it’s something that should be commended more often.
