    INCREDIBLE CHARLOTTE/CONCORD LOCATION

    Ford Performance Racing School classes take place in the classroom and on the Roval at America’s Home for Racing – Charlotte Motor Speedway.

    The Ford Performance Racing School uses the outstanding facilities of the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina.  Its location in the southeast and its proximity to Charlotte Douglas International Airport makes it convenient to many, and its address within what many consider “America’s Home for Racing” makes it even more appealing.

    Program participants will enjoy a variety of driving experiences designed to showcase the outstanding performance capabilities of the exciting Mustang Dark Horse.  Charlotte Motor Speedway is uniquely qualified to deliver these experiences. From first-class classrooms and infield meeting facilities to the Roval, there is no other complex in the country better suited to showcasing the many talents of the Dark Horse… a thoroughbred already considered the most track-capable 5.0-liter Mustang ever.

  • Founded in 2006, the Ford Performance Racing School is the only driving school backed by the Ford Motor Company. It has become one of America’s premier training programs for drivers seeking to enhance their skills and become safer and more confident behind the wheel. The school boasts a fleet of high-performance vehicles, including modified FPRS Mustang Dark Horse, Mustang Dark Horse, Mustang GT, Mustang EcoBoost, Focus RS, Fiesta ST, F-150 Raptor, Ranger Raptor, and Explorer ST – all expertly guided by a team of championship-winning instructors.

  • Highly recommended! Ford Performance Racing School packed in several huge truckloads of fun into a fantastic day of track instruction. The instructors were super knowledgeable and very helpful in helping students become more skilled drivers. I will never pass up an opportunity to attend this 5-star facility!

  • The most amazing experience I’ve ever had! The instructors are true professionals. They are amazing. They make you feel so comfortable with the cars.

  • Incredible experience! Extremely friendly instructors, I learned a lot during the two days. They got me hooked, and I have been tracking my Mustang ever since.

  • I attended the 1-day GT school and had an absolute BLAST. The staff & instructors are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, they go above and beyond on helping improve your driving skills. I would recommend this school to any and every car enthusiast. Looking forward to coming back for the 2-day school soon.
