  • INCREDIBLE 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 modern sports cars. 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 at showcasing what the school can offer.

  • 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.
