Default 3 Laps of Michigan International Speedway in Ferrari 458 Itallia

Extreme Experience is going to be in the Michigan area in 2016, you can drive a number of exotic cars on the tracks they offer. I'd like to hit Michigan International Speedway , 3 laps for under $299 US (less $25 discount if you register with their site). You can pick any number of tracks they offer in other states and other vehicles, but Michigan is a cool track where they use a piece of the super speedway oval combined with the infield track (1.4 mile total, with 2,300 foot straight). This is a nice balance between affordability and still getting a sweet car to drive. Lots of options.

You can also choose from the McLaren, Porsche GT3, Lambos, GT-R, Vettes. They also have 3 car packages where you can drive 3 different cars for 3 laps each.

Has anyone done an event like this, with any other organization or extreme experience ? Link below

I picked the Michigan date and there's nothing you can book....

I've always wanted to do this... I almost did this in Vegas last year but we used our money to get bottle service at a Club instead lol

The sale prices at TMP are pretty reasonable, thanks for the link. Not a bad deal.

I've come really close to buying the TMP packages a few times but then I remember that a lap at TMP is 1.15-1.30min range so basically you're paying $249 to drive the car for ~5min

yeah price per minute makes it sound worse, lol. Probably why I wouldn't mind the Michigan Speedway package even if it is more money, at least you can drive on a track that would not be open to public otherwise. It's a place I've visited many times, with a cool pit lane / garage area and all that goes with it. Makes the added cost seem more worth it.

They are offering a 20% discount and free pit pass for reservations taken before Feb 5th, 2016, the coupon code is XTREMELOVE

As much as I want to drive the Ferrari Italia, I also want to get into the Porsche GT3, and the Huracan sounds absolutely amazing. The 3 car option in Michigan is the Lambo Huracan, Nissan GTR , and Porsche GT3, not too bad - 9 laps in total. The GTR sounds like a Cadilac compared to the Lambo, almost too quiet.

Both lambo and Ferrari for 3 laps each @ 399 is what I'd opt for.

Your going for the visceral sound not the fastest lap. Both those cars would deliver over the GTR and GT3. I might be wrong but just my limited Honest opinion

The Lambo Huracan could be $329, the Ferrari 458 is $299 , with a 20% discount a bit lower. The McLaren would be fun too at $329.

You can hit 150 mph at Michigan International Speedway, good enough for me
