Awesome experience!! This was a birthday present from my wife and we both drove the cars. I would say my only negative is your warm-up and cool down laps are counted in your 8 lap total so you only get 6 real laps. Other than that it was awesome and we will to this again.
If you have the opportunity to do this, DO IT. Expensive but worth the money. Be prepared to spend the better part of the day at the track. Had the F1 car 162 mph first time ever driving a race car and first time ever driving on a track. Awesome experience.
This is a two part review. The experience and the Customer Service. Customer Service - I gave the Rookie Driving experience as a gift to my son for his 30th birthday who happens to be 6'10. The Sale representative was awesome and worked with the track manager to make sure there was a car that my son could drive. This took a couple of days back and forth but she called when she got confirmation and made sure that I asked for her through the entire process Great !!! Customer experience The Rookie Experience - My son wore a racing suit and helmet , even with his height, and said he had a blast. He got a printout of his speed and lap times with max speed of 151 mph. Highly recommend this both for the actual experience and the customer service
I have done this three times and it gets more intense every time. The thrill of the speed and feel of the power underneath you is amazing. Gives you a whole new perspective on what the professionals do. It is also a great gift.
I did the 3 lap driving experience... It was fabulous! My driver didn't hold back and we flew around the track. It was a really cool thing to do... there were no queues, the staff were friendly and there is an option to buy in car footage of the ride. I smiled for many days afterwards!On a side note... Take shoes with you!! I wore flip-flops... luckily the staff gave me shoes to wear, which was fortunate.
Our son took us to this experience. My husband loved it and I think I screamed all the way around the track. If you haven't done this…you need to. Things are way different on the track than sitting in the stands. Exhilarating!!
The Richard Petty driving experience is amazing! I did the ride along experience the morning after the All-Star race at Charlotte motor Speedway. In addition to having an amazing ride with driver, Brian, I also got to see NASCAR driver Brian Vickers! The workers for Richard Petty could not have been any nicer and more helpful if they tried. They are fantastic group of people and this is the ultimate thing to do if you are a NASCAR fan!
The Richard Petty Driving Experience is awesome! I have done it twice! It is expensive, but it is a lot of fun!
Wow this is really fun, anyone with gas in the blood have to try this it is really a lifetime experience that you will treasure
Most excitement I have ever had with my clothes on!!! Going down the straight-aways and into the turns is adrenaline plus. Put the helmet and fire suit on, climb in the window and buckle up. Now comes the first turn then the first straight-away and your off at a crazy pace. Can't wait until company visits and want to do something out of the ordinary. Chuck
