Driving a Supercar: 5 Car Safety Tips

Just days ago, the SSC Tuatara set a new speed record for production cars at a blazing 295 mph! Producers of supercars and hypercars are racing to see who can build the first production car that drives faster than 300 mph. However, it’s not just about the car’s design and construction, but also the elite driver behind the wheel.

The current race to 300 is being regulated by tons of rules, many of which relate to the driver’s safety. Losing control of these kinds of vehicles happens in a split second, so we’re bringing you some car safety tips for powerful supercars. Keep reading to find out how to safely operate a 1000 hp speed machine.

1. Keep Your Safety Features On

Supercars come with traction control and ABS breaks so that you don’t lose control when you open up on a clear road or track. However, they’re not only there to keep you safe when you’re speeding.

If you’re renting a supercar you might not be used to the power output. Keep these safety features on so that you can maintain control if or when the car surprises you.

2. Mind the Road Surface

Your low-profile ride is closer to the ground than the jaw of the kid you just drove past. Be careful about heading into bumpy areas and treat speedbumps with more respect than normal. Scrapes can be expensive to buff out, but hitting a bump at speed could be much more severe.

Modern supercars come with an axle lift feature that offers some extra clearance, but it won’t be the same as a normal car or SUV’s clearance.

3. Remember How Wide You Are Now

Supercars and hypercars are necessarily wide so that they can accommodate their large wheel housing and so that the flattened body can provide the downforce needed to keep the car from flipping. You’ll be taking up more space than some SUVs and should be mindful of that fact when cornering, parking, or considering a narrow-looking street.

4. Don’t Show Off Goods You Don’t Have

Renting a supercar from mphclub.com can make for a great prom night or an amazing day at the track. However, if you only rented the car for a date or an event then it’s not a good idea to show everyone on the public roads how fast you can go now. This is the easiest way to lose control and put yourself and others in danger.

If you want to experience the power of the car, rather rent the model for a track day and get an experienced driver to teach you how to drive fast and safely.

5. Regular Practice

Getting used to a supercar doesn’t only mean track time. Running errands or casual driving with a supercar can teach you as much about the vehicle as track experience. You’ll also be more comfortable with the car when you do decide to take it for a proper spin at the circuit.

More Than Car Safety Tips

These car safety tips aren’t just for protecting the vehicle’s value, but primarily about saving your life. Make sure you understand the car, the road, and the road rules and you’ll be the most wonderful driver out there.

Want to know more about life than just how to safely drive the most expensive cars? Our blog has posts about business, finance, entrepreneurship, and success. Go check some of them out and maybe you’ll be buying your own supercar someday.
