Driving a Real Sports Car in Buenos Aires: Simulator, Brand Demo or You at the Wheel

Frequently asked questions

Where can I actually drive a real sports car in Buenos Aires?

It depends what you want. If you want to drive a real car yourself and take it to the limit without bringing your own vehicle, the most direct way is a drift class on a closed track: you drive a prepped BMW E36 328i with an instructor beside you. If you prefer your own car on track, that is a track day (with your own helmet and insurance). Simulators and brand demos are great, but they are not "driving at the limit yourself".

Is a simulator like really driving?

It is the best model there is: realistic physics and great training, but you stay seated in a room, with no real G-forces and no weight of the car in your hands. It is very useful for practicing lines; it does not replace the physical sensation of driving a real car at the limit.

In a brand experience, do I drive the car myself?

Sometimes yes and sometimes you ride along, but it is almost always a few laps with the car held back: they will not let you take a brand-new car that is not yours to the limit. It is a glamorous taste more than a driving-at-the-limit experience.

Do I need my own car or gear to drive on track?

For a track day, yes: your car in good shape, a certified helmet and insurance. For a drift class, no: you drive our already-prepped BMW E36, with helmet and tyres included, on a closed track and no license needed. That is the big difference in barrier to entry.

Is it the same as "driving as a couple"?

No. Driving as a couple is a two-person plan, romantic or a gift. This is enthusiast-experiential: you, the car, and the feeling of driving it at the limit. Same school, different intent.

Do I need experience or a license?

You need neither for the drift class. Because it is a closed track no license is required, and the classes are designed for people who have never driven on track: the instructor adapts to your level from the first minute.
