Fly from Manhattan to Monticello Motor Club for instructor-led BMW track driving, off-road thrills, lunch, and a skyline flight home.

About this tour

Trade Manhattan traffic for a helicopter ride to the open track. This NYC racecar driving experience takes you to Monticello Motor Club in Upstate New York, where BMW performance cars and a 4-mile road course set the scene for a day of speed.

Fly from Wall Street Heliport by private Airbus AS350 or AS355, depending on the option booked. At the club, an instructor guides you through the Taste of the Track experience, with driving exercises suited to beginners and seasoned enthusiasts. You can also take on an off-road course in Polaris RZR XP Turbo side-by-sides. Lunch is served at the clubhouse before your return flight to Manhattan, which includes a tour of the New York City skyline.

The NYC racecar driving experience lasts about 10 hours, including roughly 40 minutes of flight each way. It runs April through October and depends on racetrack availability, weather, and helicopter maintenance. Participants must be at least 18. Book this high-speed escape for a track day that begins and ends above the city.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
