The automotive aficionados at Racing Box teach aspirant wheel wielders to pilot luxury cars on a racing track. The 45-minute vehicular voyage revs up as Racing Box's staff impart a technical briefing, demonstrate proper technique, and detail a set of safety instructions, such as when it's necessary to wear a traffic cone over one's face. Before gripping the wheel, pupils sit back in a Porsche Cayenne while the pro escorts the passenger and one friend around two laps of the 3-kilometre track. A driving simulator further acquaints passengers with the car before allowing them to set foot on the pedal of a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Once strapped in, the blooming motorist careens around the track for 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, or 24 asphalt-shredding laps. Post-jaunt, racers take home or tattoo foreheads with a driving certificate that proves their accelerant authenticity.
