About Zero One Odysseys
Since 2007, Zero One Odysseys founders have specialized in providing clients with access to Nevada’s unique past, diverse terrain and spacious beauty, either on two wheels or on four. Their goal is to customize adventures that create stories and experiences that last a lifetime. Zero One lets clients drive the open spaces of Nevada in purpose-built safari style, performance touring cars that deliver a smooth, fast, fun ride over diverse terrain.

Zero One Racing offers arrive and drive race programs where all preparation, logistics and support are packaged around a safe, reliable race car – all equally prepared from one source. The magnitude of supporting hundreds of miles of desert race course is often under-estimated. Their race programs are turnkey, taking care of every detail – from hospitality to fuel stops to celebrations.

Zero One’s unique opportunities to explore Nevada’s rarely traveled terrain and culture, come from years of relationships and our responsible approach to the people and their land. Access to Nevada’s rally style roads, historic trails and the changing scenery is made possible through long-standing relationships and history with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Zero One Odysseys is one of a very few, select groups that the BLM has issued privileged use permits for off-highway tours in the state of Nevada.
