Ariel Atom

Drive An Atom

This is your opportunity to get behind the wheel and join an exclusive group of drivers who have driven an Ariel Atom on a real race track.

The VIR Driving Experience is the only program in North America that exclusively uses the Ariel Atom supercar – with 2 program offerings we cater to novice and experienced drivers alike.

The VIR Driving Experience is very well suited to groups, corporate rewards, or individuals and builds on years of success when these event programs were previously run as the Ariel Atom Experience. Partnering with the world famous VIR Raceway is a fantastic step forward.
