Homestead Miami Speedway

Homestead Miami Motor Speedway

Homestead Miami Speedway has a lot going for it — a world class track that’s outside of sunny Miami, and now Jaguar XFR and XKR buyers can add a day at the track to their list of included options on the performance rides.

As manufacturers are put to the task for producing powerful, capable cars with big engines, performance driving schools help them achieve results with skill development useful for safe daily driving and appreciation for the motor sports culture.

With 2.21 miles of asphalt and 14 turns, the R Performance Academy, which is included in the price, is Jaguar’s icing for its speed-seeking customers who opt for the supercharged, 510-hp V8 engine that boast accelerations from 0 – 60 in 4.7 and 4.6 seconds.

The Academy, like most performance driving programs, helps drivers learn the basic skills that assist in performance, which starts with a discussion of driving dynamics the night before at a reception and includes on track tests of braking, quick lane change, dynamic mode, cornering, autocross, and the final bit of fun — full laps on the track.
