Available for a limited time, the bucket list adventure shifts into gear October 16-18, 23-25, November 13-15 and December 4-6, 2015 starting at $1218.00/dbl., excluding taxes and resort fees, based on availability. www.waldorfastoria.com/drivingexperiences or call 1-800-waldorf.
Ideal for sportscar enthusiasts and urban adventurers, the Driving Experience delivers the ultimate high as guests strap into three of the world's most powerful super cars from the most storied luxury performance brands - the technological tour-de-force Ferrari 458 Italia Spider, McLaren MP4-12C and unparalleled Porsche GT3. Package elements include guestroom accommodations in a newly-renovated guest casita or suite and a two and a half hour Driving Experience for two. Round out the getaway with the ultimate pit stop: Spa La Quinta's® new High Performance Facial and Timeless Massage (100 minutes/$275.00) certain to shift guests into cruise control with a top-flight dual service at the award-winning 23,000 sq., ft., sanctuary.
Motorists will receive an introduction and tutorial about each vehicle by excursion leader Theys then set out behind the wheels on a bespoke and breathtaking driving tour, rotating cars and drivers along the way. The pre-arranged course will take guests through some of the region's most inspirational environments, traversing porcelain palm-studded dunes and mirage-inducing straightaways followed by an elevated stint through the pines with technical switchbacks enroute. Guests can choose from three driving sessions per day, starting at 8:30 a.m., and culminating with a sunset return through the Anza-Borrego Desert followed by the ultimate cool down: a lap in one of La Quinta Resort's 41 signature swimming pools.
