You lift off from Manhattan with the skyline shrinking beneath the helicopter’s skid, the Hudson folding into a strip of silver. Under an hour later the rotor noise softens and the Monticello Motor Club’s asphalt ribbon appears through a patchwork of late-succession northern hardwoods — the day pivots from urban to high-performance in minutes.

You lift off from Manhattan with the skyline shrinking beneath the helicopter’s skid, the Hudson folding into a strip of silver. Under an hour later the rotor noise softens and the Monticello Motor Club’s asphalt ribbon appears through a patchwork of late-succession northern hardwoods — the day pivots from urban to high-performance in minutes.
The Motor Club is a private, members-oriented racetrack featuring a roughly four-mile road course designed for high-speed instruction and run sessions. Located on the northern edge of the Catskills, the landscape is defined by rolling hills and glacially scoured valleys that give the track natural elevation changes and visual drama. Local culture blends upstate leisure — farm stands, concert venues such as Bethel Woods, and a history of motorsport enthusiasts — with the hospitality of a country-club setting.
Practically, this experience pairs an Airbus AS350/AS355 helicopter transfer with instructor-led sessions in BMW performance cars and optional off-road runs in Polaris RZRs. Expect a full-day rhythm: safety briefing, driving exercises, timed laps, a facility tour, and a light lunch; the standard itinerary is about eight hours but can be shortened to four on request.
Plan for variable weather — helicopter transfers and track activity are both weather-sensitive — and follow weight and medical guidance. Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and layers for wind and cockpit temperature changes. Arrive with basic ID, allow time for briefings, and be prepared for an immersive, technically driven day that compresses skyline-to-track adventure into a single, high-adrenaline outing.
Participants must be at least 18 years old to take part in the driving activities and helicopter transfer.
The experience is weather-sensitive; if canceled for weather or helicopter maintenance, providers typically offer ground transportation alternatives or a flight credit valid for a specified period—confirm terms at booking.
Instructor programs typically provide helmets and any required track safety gear while personal items like shoes and eyewear are your responsibility—verify specifics when you book.
The provider notes wheelchair accessibility for some aspects, but certain elements require the ability to enter/exit vehicles and follow safety instructions; disclose mobility needs when booking.
