About
About DRIVE&JOY
It started between two drivers. It continues with a community of people who want more than a drive.
Community
Our approach
DRIVE&JOY is a Czech automotive community and mobile app. It connects drivers, their cars, group drives, automotive events, track days and road tours.
We create automotive experiences done properly. No chaos, no chance, no compromise.
An evening event at a premium location. A track day on a hired circuit. A road tour on Europe’s best roads. Always perfectly organised, with an atmosphere that has class.
A community for people looking for performance, style and the right company.
Formats
Three ways to drive with us
Circuit, road or a single day.
Track day is a circuit hired for the whole day. Technical check at 8:30, pit lane opens at 9:00, finish around 18:00. It’s open pit lane: no heats and nothing against the clock. Any car in good technical condition will do.
Road tour is a multi-day trip with a prepared route. Alta Strada Alpina runs for five days over the Grossglockner, the Dolomites and Sella Ronda in groups of three to five cars. The Campout is its opposite: a convoy from Prague to a campsite near Mariazell, sleeping in a tent next to your car.
One-day events are a Sunday drive, a precision drive, a circuit day ending at a chateau. You’ll find the listed dates under Events.
In Czechia we drive on circuits in Brno, Most and Sosnová. Road formats for the 2026 season go to five countries: Czechia, Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. We have cards for thirteen circuits at Circuits and road routes to drive on your own at JOY Roads.
Founders
Who’s behind it
Roman Horešovský and Jan Šplíchal. The two people behind everything you’re reading here.
Roman Horešovský
Over 20 years in motorsport and premium automotive events. He has an eye for detail, safety and smooth running, from intimate meets to big track days. He co-founded the community to combine performance, style and good networking. Away from the circuit he’s a family man, and that balance between adrenaline and responsibility runs through the whole community.
Jan Šplíchal
Entrepreneur and petrolhead, body and soul. Over ten years in motorsport, with kilometres on circuits across Europe. He loves sports cars, performance and anything with style. He co-founded the community with the vision of building a group of people who want experiences done properly: safely, elegantly and perfectly organised. He brings a drive for quality, premium service and a strong focus on networking with interesting people.
Principles
Our values
Six principles we work by.
Standards
Carefully chosen people, places, programme and service. Details make the difference.
Safety
Speed belongs on the circuit. Clear rules, a briefing and respect come first.
Discretion
Privacy is standard. No-photo mode on request and a sensitive approach to participants.
Experience
It isn’t just about cars. It’s about the atmosphere, the food and the moments you take away.
Community
People on the same wavelength. Natural networking in a setting where it makes sense.
Passion
Motorsport, performance and beautiful machines drive us. Enthusiasm that doesn’t end in the car park.
To be clear
What DRIVE&JOY isn’t
There are other similar names around the world. This is us.
We aren’t a rental company. You come to events in your own car. We don’t rent out or arrange cars.
We aren’t a racing series. A track day is open pit lane, at your own pace and with no starting grid. On the road, traffic rules apply. Speed belongs on the circuit.
We aren’t a club with an admissions process. We’re a community: an account in the app is free and you sign up for events individually.
We aren’t the companies of the same name abroad. An Italian company is also called Drive&Joy, and there’s a car parts brand called DRIVEJOY. We have nothing to do with either. We’re a Czech company based in Prague and operate in Czechia and Slovakia.
DRIVE&JOY is run by driveandjoy s.r.o., Company ID (IČO) 29730856, registered at the Municipal Court in Prague under file no. C 451500. Our only website is driveandjoy.cz and our only official profile is Instagram @driveandjoy. Similar names elsewhere aren’t ours.
