If you’re an avid car lover, a person that some would call a gearhead, there are few places that you just have to see in your lifetime. We have a few of these destinations below for you to add to your bucket list, but be sure to check back for more!
Rally School– You get to put a rented rally car to the test for a full three days, or in other words, have the best weekend ever. Sure you’ll leave with some great pictures, but you’ll also become a more skilled driver.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed– What better way to celebrate learning how to be a better driver, than going to a place where the pros will put you to shame? The festival takes place in England, but it’s well worth the trip. It is the only place you can see vintage grand prix racers, Group B rally cars, and the newest F1 cars all on the same track.
The 24-Hours of LeMons– This event is for those with a sense of humor and a love for racing. Buy a $500 car with your team and prep it with safety gear and get it track ready. You’ll be going head to head with a few dozen other teams for the grand prize, $500 in nickels!
The 24-Hours of Le Mans– After you have fun at your own team racing event, head back to Europe to see how the greatest endurance drivers in the world do it. For a full 24-Hours, you’ll be treated to an automotive symphony as the most advanced vehicles tear around the Circuit de la Sarthe.
The Tail of the Dragon– If you’re looking to stay stateside, there is still tons to see. Head down to North Carolina and Virginia and look for the following signs: Tail of the Dragon, Diamondback, Devil’s Staircase, Moonshiner and Blue Ridge Parkway. The tracks will talk for themselves.
