For Renters
Track-prepped cars including sports cars, purpose-built race cars, and modified street cars set up for track use. Each listing shows the car's specifications, modifications, and track capabilities.
This varies by owner and car. Some owners welcome beginners, while others require proof of track experience or instruction. Check each listing for requirements.
This depends on the specific car and owner preferences. Many owners will specify approved tracks or have restrictions based on the car's setup and their comfort level.
You and the owner work this out directly. We strongly recommend discussing insurance coverage, damage policies, and security deposits before any rental. Most owners will require proof of insurance and/or a damage deposit.
Simply click "Contact Owner" on any listing. You'll connect directly to arrange details, pricing, and logistics.
Typically: valid driver's license, proof of insurance, helmet (if required), and any safety gear specified by the owner. Some owners provide helmets and gear.
For Owners
You set your own pricing based on your car's value, track requirements, and local market. Consider factors like car rarity, performance level, and included services.
You handle insurance and liability directly with renters. Many owners require renters to have their own track insurance, sign waivers, and provide security deposits. Consult your insurance provider about coverage.
