Orlando Speed World Drive a Race Car Experience

An experience guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping and heart thumping!

Your experience starts with a team of seasoned instructors guiding you through all the racing theory and safety procedures. They’ll teach you how to enter and exit the track, finding the line, passing, the flags used, and much more.

You’ll then get fitted into your racing gear and slide behind the wheel of the Late Model stock car. A crew member will help you get strapped into your 5-point racing harness and your one-way radio is set up under your helmet. As you are soaring around the race track, you'll get feedback on all aspects of racing like changing gears, breakpoints, and cornering.

After a thumbs up start your engine and put the pedal to the metal when the green flag is waved. It's just going to be you, a powerful stock car and your driving skills taking you to the checkered flag.

No previous stock car racing experience needed!

With their loved ones on the sidelines watching, this is guaranteed to be an unforgettable adventure for racing fans and thrill seekers alike and makes a truly unique experience gift!
