DESCRIPTION OF THE WOW OPTIONS

WOW - Laps on Racetrack

Cars are released onto the track one at a time. This allows you to drive at whatever speed your comfort level permits, to enjoy your car’s abilities and sharpen your skills. The program is designed to keep you and everyone else safe.
NOTE: Passengers are not allowed during WOW laps.
