Mustang Experience – Ford Performance Racing School

Gear & Safety

You begin by suiting up with a driving suit, helmet, and HANS device to support you in safely experiencing the program. After being fitted with your gear, we will proceed with an all-important instructional classroom session to discuss what you will be doing and to elaborate on the differences between street driving and driving on the track. There will also be a discussion on vital safety equipment and how to use it. This is an excellent opportunity to gain as much knowledge from our seasoned instructors before jumping behind the wheel.
On-track

Following our instructors – using our in-helmet communication system, the instructor in the lead car will be able to coach you in real-time via in-car radios through every corner, chicane, and straightaway to help you achieve maximum velocity and your best lap times. You will drive your FPRS Dark Horse around the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road course for two 15-minute sessions as you progressively get faster and faster.
Hot Laps

Finally, to get your fill of speed and adrenaline, at the end of the day, you will have the chance to hop in the passenger seat with one of our pros for a flying hot lap to see just how far you’ve come – and how much farther there is to go!

The Ford Performance Racing School Mustang Experience is $995.00, with the option to purchase Limited Liability for $225.00.
