Where can you drive a sports car in Latvia?
Sports car driving experiences in Latvia are concentrated at the Biķernieki racetrack in Riga — you can either drive a supercar yourself or ride as a passenger with a professional racing driver. Contrary to a common misconception, these are commercial experiences that don't require a racing licence or special training — a standard driving licence and a desire for speed are all you need.
The main service provider at Biķernieki is GECKO MOTORSPORT, whose experiences can be booked through platforms like Lieliska Dāvana and Dāvanu Serviss. The track fleet includes Ferrari F430 Spider, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lamborghini Huracan, and even the racing-spec Huracan GT Super Trofeo. Additionally, Wolftrike Drift Hall in Riga offers indoor electric drift trike sessions available year-round.
Sports car experiences fall into four main categories: supercar track driving, supercar street driving, drift experiences, and passenger rides in racing cars. Each category has its own price range and experience level, starting from €10 for a drift trike session up to €209 for a full Lamborghini Huracan driving-plus-passenger combo.
What is it like driving a Ferrari or Lamborghini at Biķernieki?
A supercar track session at Biķernieki lasts 15–30 minutes including the briefing, and you sit behind the wheel yourself — an instructor rides alongside and provides guidance throughout the drive. Sessions take place on the Biķernieki oval track on specific dates during the summer season, typically on weekends. Early booking is recommended as spots are limited.
Ferrari F430 Spider and Lamborghini Gallardo
The classic offering that has been available the longest. The Ferrari F430 Spider (490 hp, V8, 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds) and Lamborghini Gallardo (570 hp, V10, 0–100 km/h in 3.7 seconds) come in various formats — from 3 laps to 8 laps around the track. Prices start from approximately €55 (Gallardo with discount) to €79 for a standard session. A passenger ride (co-drive) is also available, where the instructor drives — ideal for those without a driving licence.
Lamborghini Huracan and GT Super Trofeo
The newest and most powerful option at Biķernieki. The Lamborghini Huracan (610 hp, 5.2L V10, 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, top speed 325 km/h) is available for self-driving from €139. Even more exclusive is the Huracan GT Super Trofeo — a full racing spec with 620 hp, carbon fibre bodywork, and racing brakes. The GT passenger ride starts from €109, while the "driver + passenger" combo (you drive AND ride as passenger) is available from €209.
Radical SR3 Taxi and Legend Car
The most intense passenger experience. The Radical SR3 Taxi (from €99) means sitting next to one of Latvia's top racing drivers, hurtling around Biķernieki at over 200 km/h in an open cockpit. Height limit 2 m, weight limit 130 kg. Meanwhile, the Legend Car (from €30) is a 1930s-style racing car with a motorcycle engine — less speed, but a uniquely retro driving experience. Both are offered through Raihert Racing Academy via Lieliska Dāvana during the summer season on set dates.
Can you drive a supercar on Riga streets?
Yes — Lamborghini Huracan and Ferrari F430 Spider are also available for street drives through Riga, not just track sessions, and street drive prices are lower than track experiences. You drive the car yourself while a professional instructor sits beside you, providing tips and ensuring safety. The route goes through Riga's streets, letting you experience supercar comfort in real traffic conditions.
Lamborghini Huracan street drives start from €69, Ferrari F430 Spider from €59. A Lamborghini vs. Ferrari combo (both cars in one session) is available for €129. Interestingly, street drives have no age restrictions — unlike track sessions that require a driving licence, street drives can also be done with the instructor behind the wheel. The service provider is GECKO MOTORSPORT, bookable through Lieliska Dāvana or directly.
Beyond classic supercars, Riga streets also offer drives in a Tesla Cybertruck and Hummer H1 — alternatives for those wanting an unusual car experience without the racing format.
Where to try drifting and other car attractions in Riga?
Riga is home to Latvia's only indoor drift track — Wolftrike Drift Hall on Mūkusalas Street, where you can race electric drift trikes year-round regardless of weather. Drift Hall is the most affordable car attraction in Riga at €10–15 per 10-minute session, suitable for both children (from 1.25 m height) and adults.
Wolftrike Drift Hall
Wolftrike drift trikes are a unique product manufactured in Latvia (Liepāja) with a 1000W electric motor reaching speeds of up to 50 km/h. The track covers 3,000 m² and accommodates up to 10 riders simultaneously. No prior experience or special clothing needed. Beyond the trikes, the hall offers free board games, Xbox, coffee, Monster Energy drinks, and an outdoor terrace with barbecue in summer.
Address: Mūkusalas iela 49, k-6, Riga. Hours: Mon–Thu, Sun 11:00–22:00, Fri–Sat 11:00–23:00. Prices: €10/session weekdays (Mon–Thu), €15/session weekends. Group events from €95 (10 people). An excellent venue for team building, stag parties, and celebrations. Book at driftahalle.lv or +371 22448843.
Professional drift passenger ride
For the real drift experience rather than trikes, Lieliska Dāvana also offers professional drift passenger rides where you sit next to an experienced drift driver in a rear-wheel-drive sports car. Smoke, sharp sensations, and controlled slides — an experience you won't forget. Additionally, Auto Moto Parkas in Lithuania offers self-drive rally BMW sessions on a closed track for €109 — an alternative for those wanting to take the wheel of a rally car.

What to know before your sports car drive
For most sports car experiences in Latvia, all you need is a standard driving licence and advance booking — no racing licence, competition insurance, or personal vehicle required. These are commercial experiences, not amateur races, and operators provide everything necessary.
Track sessions (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Radical SR3) run during the summer season on specific dates, usually weekends. Spaces are limited, so booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance is recommended. Current dates are published at lieliskadavana.lv and davanuserviss.lv.
Practical tips: Wear sporty, comfortable clothing and flat-soled shoes (high heels are not suitable). Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. The pre-drive briefing takes 5–15 minutes. Most operators allow personal photography and video, and offer professional packages for an additional fee.
Drift Hall stands apart as it's open year-round, walk-in friendly (though checking availability during events is wise), and requires no driving licence — minimum height of 1.25 m is the only requirement.
When road speed is not enough — experiences in the sky
A sports car on track reaches 200+ km/h — impressive. But there's an experience where the speed is even greater, the sensation of freefall is absolute, and between you and the ground there's nothing but air. A tandem skydive from 4,000 metres means ~60 seconds of freefall at speeds up to 200 km/h — just you, the instructor, and gravity. No steering wheel, no pedals, no track boundaries. Price: €239, no prior experience required.
Want something even more extreme? The Oxygen Jump from 5,500 metres (€490) is the highest civilian tandem skydive in Eastern Europe — ~90 seconds of freefall at speeds up to 220 km/h, supplemental oxygen, and professional video recording. If a sports car puts you in control of the machine, skydiving puts you in control of your emotions alone.
Skydive Latvia operates from Limbaži Airfield, about an hour's drive from Riga. The season runs from April to October. Watch what a tandem jump looks like from the first-person perspective:
Gift cards for skydiving start from €30 and have no expiration date — an ideal gift for anyone seeking an experience that truly changes your perspective. View Skydive Latvia gift cards
Frequently asked questions
Can you buy a sports car driving experience as a gift card?
Yes — both Lieliska Dāvana and Dāvanu Serviss offer gift cards for all sports car experiences. Validity is typically 12–36 months. Skydive Latvia gift cards, which include skydiving experiences, have no expiration date.
Do I need a racing licence to drive a Ferrari or Lamborghini?
No — commercial supercar experiences at Biķernieki only require a standard driving licence. A racing licence (LAF) is only needed for amateur competitions (Superlaps, autosprint, etc.), which is an entirely different category.
What is the minimum age for sports car experiences?
For track and street drives where you drive yourself, a driving licence is required (from age 18). Passenger rides (co-drive, Radical SR3 Taxi) have no strict age restriction. Drift Hall accepts children from 1.25 m height (approximately age 6–7).
When do supercar track sessions at Biķernieki take place?
Track sessions run during summer season (approximately April–October) on specific dates, typically weekends. Dates are published by the service providers on their websites. Drift Hall operates year-round, every day.
Can I film during a supercar drive?
Yes, most operators allow personal filming and offer professional video/photo services for an additional fee. Video is a great way to preserve memories of the experience.
What's the difference between track and street driving?
The track lets you reach higher speeds in a closed environment with safety barriers. Street drives take you through Riga's real traffic — lower speeds but a more everyday, comfortable experience. Track means more adrenaline; streets mean more driving comfort.
Is a passenger ride as exciting as driving yourself?
Many find passenger rides even more thrilling because professional drivers can push the car to its limits — faster corners, more aggressive braking. The Radical SR3 Taxi at over 200 km/h in an open cockpit is one of the most extreme commercial experiences available in Latvia.
How fast can you go with a Ferrari or Lamborghini on track?
Maximum speed depends on the car model and track configuration. A Lamborghini Huracan technically reaches 325 km/h, but practical speeds on the Biķernieki oval are lower. The Radical SR3 Taxi reaches over 200 km/h on longer track sections.
What is the best gift for a car enthusiast?
A supercar track drive is one of the most emotional gifts for any car lover. But for something even more unforgettable, a tandem skydive with Skydive Latvia delivers an experience unlike anything else — and gift cards have no expiration date.
