20 Lap Mustang ‘Late Model NASCAR’ Thrill Experience

The Experience
These are the famous words said at the start of every race, now it’s your turn to fire up the Chevy V8 under the hood and experience first hand the explicitly raw nature of the American Dream.

Follow in the footsteps of drivers like Richard Petty who won the Daytona 500 in it’s debut in 1959 – the most prestigious motorsport race in American history.

Almost every NASCAR™ Cup Series driver raced in the ‘Late Model Class’ while progressing their career. NASCAR™ known as ‘National Association for Stock Car Racing’ is a true testament to a driver’s skill with as many as 40 cars in one pack flying around the race circuit at speeds of over 200mph. One tiny mistake and there’ll be a huge car pile up – making this one of the most engaging forms of close contact racing in the world and arguably the most exciting motorsport to watch as a spectator from the grandstand.

The standard set-up for NASCAR™ is to bank left on an oval-circuit; however they also race on road courses, so contrary to popular belief they can turn in both directions! Handy, as the track you’ll be on is a handling course configuration.

The bodywork is based on the iconic Ford Mustang with the model’s signature triple tail lights. The decals are deceiving – simulating most of the working parts, like headlights and tail lights for safety reasons, meaning no shattered glass can be scattered over the circuit in the event of a collision.

This is a brutish, no compromising V8 powered race car with over 500bhp, solely relying on old fashioned mechanical grip with huge fat slick tyres, no doors, no glass windows – just a hole for you to climb through in order to start the rumbling V8!

Important Information
A £45 surcharge applies for Saturday bookings and is payable at the time of booking.

Drivers must be at least 17 years old and hold a valid driving licence. UK licences or equivalent are accepted. If your licence is not printed in the Latin alphabet, you must also bring an international driving licence on the day.

Automatic licences are accepted, but this limits you to automatic vehicles only. Under 17 driving experiences are excluded.

Participants must be able to understand spoken and written English. If you have any specific requirements, these should be discussed before booking.

Free parking is available on site, and the hospitality building is accessible via ramp.

Motorsport activities always carry some risk, even when properly supervised. Participants must follow all instructor guidance and safety procedures at all times. If damage is caused to a vehicle as a result of a participant’s driving, the participant accepts responsibility for the excess costs needed to repair that damage. The excess varies depending on the experience booked, starting from £2,500 + VAT and rising to £20,000 + VAT for certain vehicles.

For most experiences, an optional damage liability reduction can be purchased either in advance or on the day before the session begins. This reduces the participant’s liability for accidental damage. This option is not available for the Jordan EJ12.

Once booked, the experience is non-refundable. You may rebook an experience of equal value, although a rebooking fee may apply. Rebookings made with more than 15 days’ notice allow one free change. Less notice may result in a fee.

The Weather
Events usually go ahead unless conditions are extreme, such as ice or snow. Heavy rain may cause delays or cancellation for certain vehicle experiences where standing water remains on track.

There is a hospitality unit on site for shelter, but outdoor conditions should still be expected. Wet weather clothing and an umbrella are recommended.

Arrival
Please arrive on time to register. The driver briefing starts 15 minutes after your booked arrival time, and you will not be able to take part if you miss it.

Numbers
Your voucher is valid for one person. All in-car tuition is on a one-to-one basis although briefings may be shared with other participants.

Spectators
Spectator areas are available both indoors and outdoors. Depending on availability, spectators may have the chance to join an instructor for hot laps or take part in driving activities on the day. This is entirely at the discretion of the instructors.

This is mainly an outdoor venue, so spectators should dress for the weather. Pets are not allowed, although service dogs are welcome.

What To Wear
Wear comfortable clothing suitable for the weather and flat-soled, slim-fitting shoes.

Helmets are supplied where required. If a helmet is needed for your experience, a balaclava must also be worn. You may bring your own helmet if it meets the required standard, except for Ariel Atom experiences where the venue helmet must be used because of the intercom system. Wet weather clothing is not provided, so bring your own if needed.

For Supercar and Drift Experiences, helmets are mandatory. Branded Balaclavas, Race Gloves, hats, T-shirts, beanies and more can be purchased from the café onsite.
