Professional Racing

The top of the pyramid, the apex, the peak, the pinnacle. Whatever you call it, we all share the same goal: to join, to enter, to compete, to conquer.

With the racing being immensely more difficult and challenging at this level, our incredibly experienced team and superior infrastructure will be the easiest thing you’ll face.

With these relationships comes access to some of the brightest and best, both in terms of support, and in drivers.

Custom Club Programs

Customers and customer programs are the heart and soul of our operation. The reason that our Founder, President, & Team Principal left the dealership and founded Chicago Performance, was because of his customers needing dedicated attention and support for their racing activities.

Since 2002, our primary focus has been guiding, supporting, and delivering customer programs to the track in club environments. 

Whether you’re just starting out of your motorsport journey, or are looking for a new team to run with, we will build a custom program to meet your needs.

With programs ranging from an annual outing, to bi-weekly racing, your racing needs will be met and surpassed by our world-class team.

Test Days

For both professional and club level racing, the best way to prepare for the future is track time.

From drivers to engineers, everyone values the experience and learnings gained from running a racecar. However, sometimes race conditions are not the best place to ‘experience’ those learnings for the first time.

From our years of racing history, we have established relationships with testing organizations and race tracks alike, allowing us to provide our customers access to privately organized testing events. 

Ranging from exclusive buyouts to limited car count events, our test days grant you almost limitless track time, the perfect platform to run in ideal conditions.

Arrive & Drive Track Days

Not every program runs at the highest level, and sometimes the most fun can come from putting together a lap on track, and then enjoying a social hour with other motorsport fanatics.

Starting in 2024, we’re working with major brand partners and iconic race tracks to put together Arrive & Drive style track days, exclusively for Chicago Performance customers.

Whether it’s a company retreat in need of a burst of speed, a group of car owners looking to stretch the legs of their more ‘honed’ machines, or a car club looking to bring their families into the fray, our Track Days will be the perfect venue.

It’s more than just a track day, it’s an experience for everyone.
