The Richard Petty Driving Experience lets you hop in a stock car and put the pedal to the metal in an exhilarating dash to the finish line. Taking place at the International Speedway in Daytona, the hub of all things motor-sport and home to the famous Daytona 500, you can expect no less than complete adrenaline-fueled excitement. And don’t forget as it says in the name, this excursion is curated by the NASCAR legend himself, Richard “The King” Petty, so you’re guaranteed that you’ll be in for the ride of your life!
Take up one of four packages that’ll throttle you across the track. Cruise with a professional race instructor as you take shotgun for a three-lap course with the Ride Along package, or, do six-laps with the Double Ride. If you want to go solo however, the Practice package allows you to drive yourself in a five-minute timed race, so you can hone your skills in a controlled environment which is by no means less crazy. The final package is the Rookie, the most popular of choices for a very good reason. This three-hour excursion lets you get behind the wheel and take on the speedway in a heart-pounding thrill-ride, with overtaking allowed and in-car communications so you can signal the team for a quick pitstop - *khhh, over and out*!
Not quite your Sunday Drive, this one’s for those with a need for speed and adrenaline junkies alike. You and your family of petrol-heads will be amazed by what The King and his gang have to offer, and you’re bound to be talking about what an excellent day you had on this track for the rest of your lives. And best of all? You can relieve all the excitement at the nearby Daytona Beach, the perfect family beach destination with endless stretches of golden sands and a fantastic theme and water park.
Ready, set….
