Experience Practicality in the Daily Racers Tour

Speed and performance should be a joy to experience anytime, anywhere. The Daily Racers Tour will allow you to discover the cars that take people to work during the week and battle it out on the track over the weekend.

Across four distinct series, you will explore the world of Modern Hot Hatch, Luxury & Horsepower, RWD Roadsters, and Battle of Sedans.

Luxury & Horsepower

The series showcases cars that combine luxury with performance. Go head-to-head with other luxury sports cars and prove which one is fastest on the track.

RWD Roadsters

Jump into an RWD Roadster. The penultimate series of the Daily Racers Tour invites you to drive the 2022 Mazda MX-5 RF and take on other roadsters in its class.

Battle of Sedans

Sport compacts are a proving ground for manufacturers competing on performance and price. Race alongside fun and powerful cars in the new-to-Motorsport 2022 Hyundai Elantra N, a vehicle which demonstrates both affordability and fun.
