Chicago Tracks to Drive Your Ferrari On

Your new Ferrari is poised to turn heads whether you’re in the city or on the highway, but if you’re itching to put that precision, hand-assembled engine to the test, you’ll want to find a track. Whily membership in local clubs can offer you access to select tracks, there are also those where you can just show up and drive — as well as a Chicagoland country club built just for people like you.

Autobahn Country Club

More than just a track, Autobahn Country Club is located in nearby Joliet with 3 challenging road courses and many other amenities across their 350 acres. Drivers who want more time than they’ll find at a standard track day or who are seeking additional instruction from racing pros might prefer a membership at the Autobahn. 

 

Blackhawk Farms Raceway

Located right at the Illinois/Wisconsin border in South Beloit, Blackhawk Farms Raceway is a 1.95-mile private circuit racetrack featuring 7 turns. A spectator-friendly racetrack, you’ll find onsite concessions for friends and family, and if you left anything at home, The Pit Stop features souvenirs, apparel, and last-minute racers’ needs. 

Road America

Road America is just far enough to make an event of your track trip and just close enough that you can make it a regular destination. Located in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, Road America features a legendary four-mile, 14-turn road circuit that has challenged some of the best racers in the world. Established in 1955, their track sprawls across 640 acres and features public race weekends as well as an extensive calendar of events.
