Adrian loves cars like I love handbags, so for Father’s Day this year I treated him to an exotic car driving experience! Drive Fittipaldi has been making the headlines in Texas lately and when I saw that they offered people the opportunity to actually drive a supercar around the Texas Motor Speedway racetrack here in Dallas, I knew that it would be a an experience Adrian would remember forever!
I wanted the experience to be a surprise for Adrian and had just told him that we would need to wake up early to drive out to where he would get his Father’s Day present. The look on Adrian’s face when we were greeted with a lineup of 5 exotic cars was priceless! Among the supercars: the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, the Lamborghini Superleggera, the Lamborghini Gallardo Valentino Balboni, the Porsche 911 Carrera S, and the Nissan GT-R.
We were given a brief rundown of the different cars in a brief classroom session first where it was actually interesting to hear the history behind the development of some of these supercars as well as a few of the differences in each car. The exotic cars we would be driving were also optimized for racing — any extras that added weight such (including even padded seats) were stripped down!
It was a touch choice with all the sexy cars, but Adrian and I both chose the Lamborghini Superleggera. For me the Lamborghini just seemed like a more elusive car and the fact that it had 562 horses (compared to the measly 260 in my current car) made me curious about much power it would have once on the race track!
Before we drove the cars out on the track, we were first taken as passengers in a truck around the track and given tips on how to approach each turn. The track was marked with braking cones, turn entry cones and turn exit cones. To maximize our speed on the track and to experience the full potential of the cars, it was useful to know the best way to tackle the course.
Then it was our turn! We would each have 6 laps around the race track with an instructor sitting in the passenger seat for additional help if needed or to help get the car back under control if needed. The instructors were ultimately there not to slow us down but actually to encourage us to go faster and maximize our experience. After strapping into our helmets, we were off to the track. While I debated at first whether I would just have Adrian drive, I changed my mind and decided I wanted to experience it for myself too! It was actually a little scary stepping on the gas pedal at first knowing that I was driving such a powerful supercar, but after a couple turns on the track I started to feel comfortable and before I knew it I was flooring it! The Lamborghini seriously packs a punch and it was a rush of adrenaline racing it around the track!
The experience was definitely one to remember! While the experience was a gift for Adrian, in part it was kinda a gift for me too as I had such a great time! If you’re looking for a gift idea or just a fun experience to try out with your friends or family, I can’t recommend Drive Fittipaldi enough!

As for my outfit, I actually stood in front of my closet for a good 10 minutes thinking “what the heck to I wear to race a super car?!” Ultimately I figured I’d start with the shoes since I had to wear something I could drive comfortably in and finished the outfit bottom up. I went with my favorite pair of jeans (this similar wash is on #nsale!) and paired the look with this fun spatter-paint top from J.Crew (it comes in skirt and dress form too!). The look ended up being a great choice as I felt stylish, comfortable, and confident enough to drive a quarter-million dollar car! 🙂
If you’re ever looking to treat your hubby to something he’ll be talking about for years to come, check out Drive Fittipaldi! Adrian and I had a wonderful time and I can’t recommend it enough!

Thanks for the great post about cars. In my opinion, choosing a car is one of the most decisions a person makes in life. This is important because your safety and the opinions of others about you depend on it.

Drive Fittipaldi is a great place to experience exotic car driving. They have a variety of cars to choose from, and their instructors are experienced and knowledgeable. I’m sure Adrian had a blast driving around the Texas Motor Speedway racetrack.

In the workplace, ergonomics experts rely on 3D posture analysis to design ergonomic workstations and environments that promote employee health and productivity. By understanding how people sit, stand, and move in a three-dimensional space, ergonomic solutions can be tailored to minimize the risk of repetitive strain injuries and other workplace-related health issues.visbody S30
