Located just 30 miles north of Manhattan, Harrison, New York, offers a one-of-a-kind adrenaline-packed adventure through the High Performance Driving Experience at the Monticello Motor Club. This exclusive club, accessible via a private helicopter flight from Manhattan, hosts a premier driving facility featuring a 4-mile track designed for both speed and skill development. Drivers get the chance to pilot high-performance BMWs in a controlled, expertly managed environment, racing against fellow enthusiasts and pushing the limits of precision driving.
Monticello Motor Club stands out in the regional outdoor recreation scene as more than just a racetrack. Its blend of motorsport and aerial adventure makes it unique — participants depart from the urban jungle of New York City by helicopter, landing in the rolling hills of Harrison to immerse themselves in an open-air driving experience coupled with off-road challenges that test vehicle control beyond the paved track.
The driving course is meticulously crafted with a variety of corners, straights, and elevation changes, providing diverse challenges regardless of skill level. The natural setting showcases the gently wooded landscape typical of New York’s lower Hudson Valley, offering a visually appealing backdrop that contrasts sharply with the roar of engines and intense focus of drivers.
Concluding the day, guests embark on a scenic helicopter return flight, which offers stunning aerial views of the region’s mix of suburban sprawl, forests, and waterways – a rare perspective that complements the ground-level thrill perfectly. This seamless fusion of land and aerial adventure makes High Performance Driving Experience a standout for those seeking excitement in the Northeast while enjoying luxury and exclusive access.
