What Our Customers Have to Say
The best gift I’ve ever given someone!!! My boyfriend loved the experience. It was great to see how excited he was to drive the car. Everyone on staff was super friendly and helpful. He thought the pre race class was great and very informative. I recommend this experience as an spectator and he recommends it as a driver.
The track I was at was Dover. The entire experience was great. Everything was well laid out. They give you a safety course before you hop in the car and let her rip. I went on a ride-along before I got in the car myself. Highly recommended to get used to the layout of the track. I got a COT car and went as fast as I could make the thing go. Just a awesome adrenaline rush. Great experience.

About The Formula Experience
2013 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Rusty Wallace allows amateurs to feel first-hand how a real race car rumbles as its tires scorch a professional speedway. Participants can either ride shotgun with an experienced driver or hop behind the wheel to tackle the track themselves. For a more genuine experience, drivers don the full array of safety gear before climbing or vaulting through the window, including a sleek racing suit, helmet, and HANS neck-protection device. Meanwhile, for more experienced drivers, guests hop in a car for as little as 5 laps and build their way up to driving fifteen laps like the pros.
