I would give this place 10 stars if
I could (but 5 stars is the highest
allowed)! What AN AMAZING
experience they provided for our
company event and it was just pure
FUN, FUN, FUN! We were able to
reserve the location before they
opened and had the whole track
to ourselves. Everyone has been
working so hard in this summer
heat, we thought it would be a
great opportunity to connect
outside of work (BEFORE work) and
blow off a little steam. The people
at Autobahn made everything
super easy. They also included lots
of little perks we had no idea were
included. They took photos of our
time there (and sent them to us),
had trophies and medallions for
awards for the fastest times and
team, podium pictures and a really
thoughtful and nice touch of a tire
with all of our signatures on it with
Autobahn was the perfect place to host our year end Team Building
event! We had a blast and your entire staff was excellent. We would
definitely do it again.

TEAM BUILDING OPTIONS
Competition builds character, but it can be hard to draw the line. At
Autobahn, we believe racing is the ultimate way to let loose, have fun
and build lasting memories along the way. Below are some popular
racing formats that are sure to bring your team together.
BLINDFOLD CHALLENGE
Communication is key here, as the driver is blindfolded and given his
or her instructions by other group members seated in the vehicle.
They attempt to guide the driver around a series of obstacles as fast
as possible. Blindfold driving always raises a laugh and can be run
alongside other activities.
PIT CREW CHALLENGE
Teams compete against each other for time. Each team completes
a series of pit stops for tires and fuel. Penalties are assessed for any
violations (i.e., loose wheels) found by the officials. Each time a team
completes a pit stop they regroup and work on strategy. The team with
the fastest final time after penalties wins.
GRAND PRIX
Let’s go racing! Your group will enjoy plenty of track time, and the
practice session provides everyone enough time to prepare for the first
round of heats. Our Grand Prix is our most popular way to put a smile
on your team.
