What is Arrive and Drive racing?
Arrive & Drive racing is a turnkey motorsports experience that allows a driver to participate in a track day, HPDE event, open lapping event, endurance race or other motorsports event without having to own and operate their own race car program.
With an Arrive and Drive race car program, much of that responsibility is handled for you. GGS Motorsports prepares the vehicle and supports the track experience. You arrive ready to drive.
Traditional racing can require:
- ◆Purchasing a race car
- ◆Building or modifying the vehicle
- ◆Race preparation
- ◆Routine maintenance
- ◆Repairs
- ◆Tires
- ◆Brakes
- ◆Fuel
- ◆Spare parts
- ◆Tools
- ◆Trailer ownership
- ◆Tow vehicle ownership
- ◆Transportation
- ◆Trackside equipment
- ◆Pit equipment
- ◆Crew support
- ◆Vehicle storage
- ◆Event preparation
- ◆Race-weekend logistics
That's the idea behind Arrive & Drive motorsports: less time managing a race program, more time driving a race car.
Five steps to seat time.

- ◆Your first race car experience

Availability, pricing and support requirements can vary based on the vehicle, event, track, coaching level, tires, consumables and race format.
GGS prepares the race car
Instead of spending the week before an event preparing a car, loading equipment and coordinating logistics, GGS Motorsports handles the race program. Depending on the selected experience, this can include:
- ◆Race car preparation
- ◆Vehicle maintenance
- ◆Transportation
- ◆Trackside technical support
- ◆Pit equipment
- ◆Driver coaching
- ◆Data review
- ◆Strategy support
- ◆Hospitality
- ◆Race-weekend logistics
Arrive at the racetrack
This is where the name comes from. You arrive. The race car and support program are waiting.
Drive
Get behind the wheel and experience what you came for. Real racetrack. Real race car. Real motorsports experience.
Why choose Arrive and Drive instead of owning a race car?
Owning a race car can be incredibly rewarding. It can also become a second job.
A race car requires considerably more than simply purchasing the vehicle. Maintenance. Preparation. Transportation. Storage. Tools. Tires. Brakes. Fluids. Repairs. Spare components. Trackside support. And the countless hours required to keep everything ready for the next event.
For some drivers, owning the complete operation is part of the experience. For others, the goal is much simpler: they want to drive.
That's where an Arrive and Drive race car rental program becomes extremely attractive. GGS Motorsports allows drivers to experience real performance driving and motorsports while reducing many of the responsibilities associated with owning an entire racing operation.

GGS Motorsports offers Arrive and Drive endurance racing opportunities designed to give drivers access to real competition without requiring them to create an entire endurance racing operation from scratch.
You bring the driver. We bring the race program.

Instead of immediately purchasing a race car, trailer, tow vehicle, tools and support equipment, qualified drivers can explore available GGS Motorsports race seats and supported events.
That creates a much more direct route from track driver, to developed driver, to endurance racer.

Arrive and Drive for beginner drivers
You don't necessarily need years of racing experience to begin exploring motorsports. GGS Motorsports works with drivers at different stages of their development.

Arrive and Drive for experienced racers
Arrive & Drive isn't only for beginners. Experienced racers can also benefit tremendously from a turnkey racing program.
Maybe you don't want to transport your own race car hundreds of miles. Maybe your current car isn't available. Maybe you're traveling from another state. Maybe you want to race at a track without transporting your entire operation. Maybe you want additional seat time.
Or maybe you simply want to race without spending the days before and after the event dealing with logistics.
GGS Motorsports allows experienced drivers to concentrate on performance rather than infrastructure.
See our trackside support →Traveling to race? Arrive and Drive makes sense.
One of the biggest advantages of Arrive and Drive racing is accessibility for drivers traveling from outside the immediate area.
If you're traveling to the Eastern United States for a track event, transporting a race car can become expensive and complicated. With an Arrive & Drive program, the race car and support infrastructure can already be part of the experience.
Fly or drive to the event. Meet the team. Get in the car.

The GGS Motorsports difference.
There are places where you can rent a performance car. That's not what we're trying to build.
GGS Motorsports is about creating a complete motorsports experience. We understand racing because we race.
Our program is built around more than handing someone keys to a car. It's about providing the equipment, knowledge, preparation and support needed to make track time valuable.
Race-prepared cars
Vehicles maintained and prepared specifically for performance driving and competition.
Professional trackside support
Technical support where it matters most: at the racetrack.
Driver coaching
Improve your technique instead of simply accumulating laps.
Data & video analysis
Understand what is happening behind the wheel and identify opportunities for improvement.
Race preparation
The work starts before the car ever arrives at the circuit.
Transportation
Getting the race car and necessary equipment to the track is part of running a racing program.
Pit & race support
For endurance events, the team behind the wall can be just as important as the driver behind the wheel.
Hospitality
A race weekend should be an experience, not simply another logistical headache.
Is Arrive and Drive racing worth it?
For the right driver, absolutely.
Consider what is required to independently own and operate a race car: race car purchase, trailer, tow vehicle, storage, maintenance, repairs, tires, brakes, fluids, fuel, tools, spare parts, safety equipment, transportation, trackside support and preparation time.
The investment extends far beyond the purchase price of the car.
Arrive & Drive changes the equation. Instead of building the entire infrastructure first, you can purchase access to the racing experience you actually want. For drivers who value seat time over ownership, it can be an extremely attractive approach to motorsports.
