Chase Exotic Supercars on this Insane Police Car Drifting Ride-Along

Most red-blooded men love a good adrenaline rush. Skydiving, wing walking, swimming with crocodiles, and fast cars all undoubtedly fill that need. If the latter is more your speed — if you like to drive very expensive cars very fast — Exotics Racing offers a world-first racing experience unlike any other.

From Miami to California, there’s no shortage of places to take a supercar out for a spin. However, the aptly named Supercar Drifting Ride-Along Experience dials the “ordinary” supercar driving experience up to 11. At Exotics Racing’s legit Las Vegas race track, passengers strap into a track-ready Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat jacked up like a police cruiser from hell. The 707-horsepower, V8-powered beast is capable of pulling 3.4-second 0-60 runs and a top speed north of 200 miles per hour. By the numbers, it’s an obscenely fast ride with the motto “To protect and to swerve.”

As the name implies, however, the experience isn’t just about speed. Behind the wheel is Exotics Racing’s resident professional Rudy Ibanez — a stunt driver whose credits include The Fast and The Furious. With full-on sirens blaring, Ibanez pilots the Hellcat around the desert track “chasing” other supercars and drifting into corners. It’s one thing to drive a quarter-million-dollar Ferrari 488, a Lamborghini Huracan, or a Porsche 991 GT3 on a professional racetrack. It’s another matter entirely to chase those same supercars in your own real-life version of Grand Theft Auto. Know that helmets and safety harnesses are included, but adult diapers are not.

Pricing for the Supercar Drifting Ride-Along Experience starts at $99 per passenger for two laps. Because the Hellcat is a sedan with a full-sized backseat, a total of three passengers can ride-along. If you’d rather the thrill of being chased like a criminal a la GTA, Exotics Racing offers dual-lap supercar ride-alongs also starting at $99 per person.

If one-of-a-kind racing experiences are your thing, head to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The legendary track is home to the Indy Racing Experience where even enthusiasts with no hardcore driving skills can strap into a legit IndyCar racecar to circle the track at up to 130 miles per hour.

Franco Colapinto to join BWT Alpine as reserve driver for 2025.

The BWT Alpine F1 Team announced that Franco Colapinto will join as a reserve driver for the 2025 F1 season. Colapinto was one of several new drivers promoted to F1 during the 2024 season.

Colaptinto replaced Logan Sargeant, driving for the Williams Racing F1 team. His initial races for Williams were surprisingly promising, as he did well in qualifying and scored points for the team. Unfortunately, Colapinto's light didn't shine as brightly as the season proceeded.
Colapinto and Williams
Williams did not have a spot for Colapinto after the 2024 season, even though the team brought him up from F2 racing to F1. Willims and now-former Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz had come to terms for Sainz to take the second seat to team with returning Williams driver Alex Albon.

Keeway America, which established a dealership network for Benelli motorcycles and Keeway scooters, announced a new partnership with Benda Motorcycles.

The Benda brand story

According to Keeway, Benda Motorcycles blends "radical aesthetics with state-of-the-art engineering." The Benda bikes have liquid-cooled engines with carbon fiber drive belts, LED lighting, and standard ABS braking. The gas motors are smaller and less potent than Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycles V-twins. They are intended for entry-level riders who primarily ride in small towns and back roads.
