There are no specific weight or height restrictions for participation in a WCD event, however, all of the cars have limited headroom and are fitted with racing seats, which provide lateral support. It is our experience that drivers over 280 lbs or 6'5" or taller may be extremely uncomfortable. We advise that if you fall into this category it is better to call us before booking an event.
WHAT CARS WILL I GET TO DRIVE ON THE EXOTIC CAR TOUR?
All cars are late model and include E-Gear, manumatic or triptronic. Occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, the car line up is subject to change. In this case, we will replace the car with a comparable car. We will also have a backup car at each event in case of a mechanical problem. You can view photos from a recent event to see what participants are currently driving.
ARE THE CARS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE?
No. However, the cars are more powerful and responsive than a typical car. The operation, controls and special features of each car will be presented during the briefing. Our cars have an "automatic mode" if required. Some also use "sequential manual gearboxes" or SMG, or triptronic shifters. This new E Gear technology, also used in F1 and DSG is found in many new high performance cars and is a manual gearbox where the clutch and gear selection is handled by a computer when you pull the gear change paddle.
WHAT KIND OF ROUTE WILL I DRIVE?
We look for a route that incorporates a combination of sweeping turns, twists and straights. We also try to select roads that are not congested and offer spectacular scenery. Often the better the roads, the more limited the options are for stops to change cars. We will always make sure there are at least two restroom stops during the driving experience. Snacks and bottled water are available in the pace car for your enjoyment. To avoid congested areas some freeway and highway routes may be included. Our goal is to find roads that will allow you to enjoy the drive to the fullest extent.
HOW IS MY DRIVING TIME SCHEDULED?
We will send details to you 14 days prior to your scheduled event. This will include your arrival time and meeting location. Upon arrival, you will attend the driver briefing and receive the driver grid which will explain the order that you will drive each of the cars. The group will leave the event location and follow a route that will take in the best driving roads in the area before returning to the event location. Stops will be made along the route to change drivers.
WHAT IS THE "BRIEFING" ALL ABOUT?
The briefing will cover the car presentation, route information, group selection and rules . There will be a pace car and a chase car. Experienced WCD staff members will drive these cars and will be in contact with each other during the event.
HOW IS THE US SUPERCAR TOUR ORGANIZED?
Based on the group size and your chosen session, the driving experience can last up to 4 1/2 hours. Each driver will experience approximately 30 minutes per car. You will drive cars on an open road route specially selected by our scout in advance. In a typical program (5 cars/8 drivers per AM and PM session) you will alternate cars and alternate from driver to passenger until each person has driven all five cars.
You are accompanied along the route by our professional staff. Our staff has professional driving experience and most have worked within the racing industry. The group of cars is led by a pace car and followed by another staff car to manage the group on the open road. This is to ensure no one gets lost, or if there is a problem along the route there will be a person to identify and respond to issues. This format makes it possible for our guests to simply focus on their driving and enjoy the cars.
WHAT ABOUT INSURANCE?
We require that you maintain a current insurance policy in the state of your residence in order to participate in the event. In the event of vehicle damage, your policy is primary; we may provide excess coverage if your policy is exhausted. We also maintain event liability coverage while you are using our fleet.
IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
Our event venues are chosen for their location and surroundings and we request that each participant be dressed accordingly. Sport casual is ideal. The pedals on some of the cars are close together so sport shoes are a good choice (boots are not ideal). Please be careful not to wear a belt with metal decorations, you will be asked to remove it as it may damage the seat leather. No safety equipment is required. Don't forget your camera and/or video recorder so you or your guest passenger can capture the event! Cameras cannot be mounted in cars. There is room in each car for a small backpack.
WHERE CAN I STAY IF I WANT OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS?
We do our best to arrange a group rate for WCD guests at the host hotels that become our event headquarters. We do not guarantee rooms for our participants as each resort has a different policy. Please indicate if you are interested in a room reservation and we will let you know what the arrangements are for each hotel.
CAN I BRING A PASSENGER/GUEST?
You may bring one guest passenger per driver on this exotic car tour for an additional $300 or split the drive with someone else for an additional $500. Non-driving passengers will have access to all activities except driving. Your passenger can ride with you in four cars, since one of our staff members must be with you when you drive certain ultra exotics (such as the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren or Ferrari 599 GTB). You may register a passenger with your reservation or at a later date should space permit.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
Light rain is not a problem; storms can cause the event to be delayed or postponed to the next day. If the storm is persistent we may reschedule to another date or give you the option to change your booking to another scheduled event.
IS THERE A CANCELLATION POLICY?
Reservations are not refundable. You can transfer your booking to another driver at any time. You may also reschedule your reservation to a future date in some cases, depending on the event up to 30 days prior to your scheduled event. (Unfortunately, we have no flexibility on cancellations, as event schedules, instructors, and facilities are scheduled months in advance of your event.
