Exotics Racing delivers an incredible thrill-inducing experience to those adrenaline junkies with a passion for all things supercars. Set amongst the Las Vegas background, the luxury track offers the opportunity to drive superbly exotic cars including Lamborghini Aventadors and Ferraris on a privately owned course designed by 5 time French Champion Romain Thievin and his elite team. While Romain is a legend on the racetrack, he is also a professional stunt driver who has appeared in more than 150 films, most notably, in Ronin (as Robert De Niro’s double) and in Bourne Identity (Matt Damon’s double).
Thievin is such a legendary driver, he even won a prestigious award for his Bourne Identity stunt driving - a Taurus World Stunt Award in 2003. Romain and his business partner, fellow racer David Perisset currently live the good life in dynamic Las Vegas and the duo opened Exotics Racing in 2009.
To date, the company boasts the world’s largest fleet of exotic cars, and the course is entirely customizable, as the driver can choose how many laps he wants to drive and what sort of course.
