World Class Driving is a privately owned automotive event company based in Wilmington, Delaware that promotes a unique driving experience with the most exclusive cars in the world. WCD offers a limited number of events per year in the USA where each participant gets the opportunity to experience five of the world's finest cars from the driver's seat.

We at World Class Driving are committed to making sure your experience is a unique and unbeatable opportunity to drive a selection of the world's finest cars on the best roads we can locate. You will find our staff knowledgeable and friendly. Your experience will start with a continental breakfast or lunch buffet, (non-alcoholic beverages and snacks will be offered throughout the event) and will conclude with the presentation of our WCD gift pack - including a driver's certificate, a 3-D crystal etching of your favorite car and photographs of the day's experience.

To participate in a WCD event a driver needs to be between 25 and 70 years old (drivers over 70 may be able to participate subject to certain insurance company approvals)

Hold a valid US or Canadian driving license (other license holders will require prior authorization)

Hold current insurance from a recognized insurance company

Be able to drive the cars without the aid of special equipment

There are no specific weight or height restrictions for participation in a WCD event, however, all of the cars have limited headroom and are fitted with racing seats, which provide lateral support. It is our experience that drivers over 280 lbs or 6'5" or taller may be extremely uncomfortable. We advise that if you fall into this category it is better to call us before booking an event.

Please visit the Cars section of the website to see our current fleet.

All cars are less than a year old and are E-Gear, manumatic or triptronic. No stick shift cars.

Occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, the car line up is subject to change. In this case, we will replace the car with a comparable car. We will also have a backup car at each event in case of a mechanical problem.

This event is not about racing or inappropriate speed and WCD has the right to exclude any driver who does not follow the rules!

• Follow all traffic laws - police tickets are your expense
• No inappropriate speed - you must respect the local speed limits
• Do not start before instructor has explained the car to you
• Do not rev the engines at idle - the cars are sensitive - respect them
• Traction control must stay on at all times
• Keep lead car in sight - stay with group - leaving means expulsion from event
• Stay focused on the road
• Drive responsibly and within your skill level
• No radio use / no cell phone use

No. However, the cars are more powerful and responsive than a typical car. The operation, controls and special features of each car will be presented during the briefing. Our cars have an "automatic mode" if required. Some also use "sequential manual gearboxes" or SMG, manumatic or triptronic. This new E Gear technology, also used in F1 and DSG is found in many new high performance cars and is a manual gearbox where the clutch and gear selection is handled by a computer when you pull the gear change paddle.

We look for a route that covers 150-175 miles in length and incorporates a combination of sweeping turns, twists and straights. We also try to select roads that are not congested and offer spectacular scenery. Often the better the roads, the more limited the options are for stops to change cars. We will always make sure there are at least two restroom stops during the driving experience. Snacks and bottled water are available in the pace car for your enjoyment. To avoid congested areas some freeway and highway routes may be included. Our goal is to find roads that will allow you to enjoy the drive to the fullest extent.

Prior to the event (7-10 days) you will be sent details on event location and your arrival time, which will be between 7:00 AM and 12:30 PM. Upon arrival, you will attend the driver briefing and receive the driver grid which will explain the order that you will drive each of the cars. The group will leave the event location and follow a route that will take in the best driving roads in the area before returning to the event location. Stops (check point) will be made along the route to change drivers.

The briefing will cover the car presentation, route information, group selection and rules. There will be a pace car and a closing car. Experienced WCD staff members will drive these cars and will be in contact with each other during the event. Every event participant must sign a disclaimer (a copy is available upon request), and must agree to follow all WCD rules. You must present your driver's license, a copy of your insurance card, and a credit card. The insurance deductible is $5000.

Based on the group size, the driving experience can last up to 4 1/2 hours. Each driver will experience approximately 30 minutes per car. You will drive cars on an open road route specially selected by WCD. In a typical program (5 cars/10 drivers per AM and PM session) you will alternate cars and alternate from driver to passenger until each person has driven all five cars.

You are accompanied along the route by WCD staff. Our staff has professional driving experience and most have worked within the racing industry. The group of cars is led by a pace car and followed by another staff car to manage the group on the open road. This is to ensure no one gets lost, or if there is a problem along the route there will be a person to identify and respond to issues. This format makes it possible for our guests to simply focus on their driving and enjoy the cars.

WCD event venues are chosen for their location and surroundings and we request that each participant be dressed accordingly. Sport casual is ideal. The pedals on some of the cars are close together so sport shoes are a good choice (boots are not ideal). Please be careful not to wear a belt with metal decorations, you will be asked to remove it as it may damage the seat leather. No safety equipment is required. Don't forget your camera and/or video recorder so you or your guest passenger can capture the event! Cameras cannot be mounted in cars. There is room in each car for a small backpack.

We do our best to arrange a group rate for WCD guests at the host hotels that become our event headquarters. We do not guarantee rooms for our participants as each resort has a different policy. Please indicate if you are interested in a room reservation and we will let you know what the arrangements are for each hotel.

You are allowed, for a fee, to bring a maximum of 1 guest passenger (per driver). Passenger(s) will have access to all activities except driving. Passenger(s) must sign a disclaimer and agree to follow all WCD rules. Your passenger can ride with you in four cars, since one of our staff members must be with you when you drive the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren or Ferrari 599 GTB. Children under 12 are not allowed as passengers. You may register a passenger with your reservation or at a later date should space permit.

Light rain is not a problem; storms can cause the event to be delayed or postponed to the next day. If the storm is persistent we may reschedule to another date or give you the option to change your booking to another scheduled event.

If you cancel your reservation for any reason other than a medical emergency (backed up by a doctor's certificate) the following cancellation fees will apply:

• You will receive a full refund, if you cancel up to 31 days prior to the event
• You will receive a 50% refund, if you cancel 15 - 30 days prior to the event
• You will not receive any refund, if you cancel 0 - 14 days prior to the event

Note: On many events we may be able to resell your place or a waiting list may exist, in this case we will waive all cancellation fees. Additionally you can transfer your booking to another driver at any time, so long as they meet the WCD driver criteria.

For $1,495, including all taxes (or what would be the price of a half day rental for a Ferrari F430) you will be able to drive five of the best super exotic cars in the world (see our list above). The price includes hospitality (continental breakfast, lunch buffet, non-alcoholic beverages, snacks) WCD gift pack - including driver's certificate, 3-D crystal etching of your favorite car and photographs of the day's experience.
