The Experience
Race Driver for a Day
You Drive. We Coach.
This is not a hot lap in the passenger seat. At EXR Racing you take the wheel of a genuine sports car — on Israel's most technical race track or the mountain roads of the Judean Hills — while a certified, English-speaking instructor coaches you from the seat beside you.
How it works
Five steps from your phone to the pit lane
- 01
Book on WhatsApp
Send us a message — tell us which car interests you, roughly when, and whether you prefer the race track or the mountain roads. You'll get a personal quote and available dates within minutes, in English.
- 02
Arrive & meet your instructor
On the day, you're welcomed at the venue by your certified instructor. All instructors speak English, and a foreign driver's license is all you need to drive.
- 03
Safety briefing
Before you touch a steering wheel, you get a full briefing: the car, the racing line, braking points, flags and safety procedures. No prior track experience is assumed.
- 04
You drive
This is the core of it — you are behind the wheel, not in the passenger seat. Your instructor sits beside you the whole session, coaching in real time and raising the pace as your confidence grows.
- 05
Leave with the footage
Every experience includes professional video and photo coverage. You go home with proof: you drove a real sports car, hard, in Israel.
The fleet
Three very different sports cars
Chevrolet Corvette C6
450 hp · American V8 · rear-wheel drive
The headline act. Thunderous V8 soundtrack, serious power, and the classic rear-driven muscle-car challenge.
Full car details →
Mitsubishi EVO X
300 hp · turbo · 4WD · manual
Rally DNA. Four-wheel drive grip, a proper manual gearbox and turbo punch — the driver's-driver choice.
Full car details →
BMW M240
Turbo straight-six · balanced & precise
The precision instrument. Beautifully balanced, quick and forgiving — ideal for building clean, fast laps.
Full car details →Arad Race Track
Southern Israel · pure circuit driving
The most technical circuit in Israel: 14 corners, an official pit lane, a paddock and a spectator area for up to 1,000 people. The track is licensed by the Ministry of Culture & Sport and the motorsport authority — this is where you learn what a racing line really means.
Judean Hills — Nes Harim
~30 minutes from Jerusalem · mountain roads
Winding mountain roads through the Judean Hills near Jerusalem — flowing corners, elevation changes and scenery you won't find on any circuit. The same cars, the same instructor beside you, a completely different kind of drive.

FAQ
Race driver for a day — your questions
Do I actually drive the car myself?+
Yes — this is a self-drive experience, not a passenger ride. You are behind the wheel for the entire driving session, with a certified instructor sitting beside you coaching you in real time.
Is my foreign driver's license valid?+
Yes. Foreign driver's licenses are accepted — visitors from abroad drive with us regularly. Just bring your valid license on the day.
How long is a session and what does it cost?+
The entry experience is around 60 minutes and starts from ₪1,000 (about $270). Longer, custom experiences go up to ₪8,000 (about $2,150) for a full day. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
Track or mountain roads — which should I choose?+
The Arad race track is the pure motorsport option: 14 corners, official pit lane, repeatable laps. Nes Harim in the Judean Hills is a scenic mountain-road drive about 30 minutes from Jerusalem. Both come with the same instructor, insurance and video coverage.
I've never driven on a track. Is that a problem?+
Not at all. Most of our guests are first-timers. The safety briefing covers everything, and the instructor adapts the pace to you — the session is built around your level, not a fixed script.
Can I switch between cars during the experience?+
Yes. Many guests combine two or even all three cars in one visit — the V8 Corvette, the 4WD EVO X and the BMW M240 feel completely different. Mention it on WhatsApp and we'll build the combination into your quote.
What's included in the price?+
Everything essential: the car, fuel, a certified English-speaking instructor in the car, a full safety briefing, insurance, and professional video and photo coverage of your drive. No hidden extras.
Can friends or family watch?+
Yes. The Arad circuit has a dedicated spectator area with room for up to 1,000 people, so whoever comes with you can watch every lap from a safe vantage point.
