I used to instruct for one of the "experiences". Each person has to measure their interest versus the cost (the cost used to be variable - in some cases, negotiable based on how you signed up). There are add-on features which impact the price: GoPro footage of your drive, pic of you in the car etc)

I'll just note that from my right seat perspective - the laws of physics in the Ferrari are the exact same as they were when drove your Honda Accord to the event. Its when people don't want to grasp that simple truth that things go south.

It's exactly that. I'd go do autocross or get coaching via an HPDE event before doing an exotic driving experience.

I recall that VIR and Summit Point both do NASA HPDE days a couple of times a year.

I've found that driving your slow car fast is ultimately more fun than driving a fast car that you've never driven before.
