Overview
Why buy from us?
Ever dreamt of trucking down the dusty open highways of the United States of America? We’ve got just the experience for you, with our American Truck Driving Thrill package, exclusive to our TrackDays venue at Goodwood Race Circuit in East Sussex.
An expert instructor will greet you upon arrival to begin your registration and talk you through your safety briefing. Then for the fun bit, as you climb up into the cabin and under their guidance, take to the wheel for two laps in a Peterbilt or Kenworth truck.
You’ll get to grips with driving these vast American trucks over two laps of around 4 miles in total on a short course. You can also round off the day in style with purchase on the day of additional passenger laps, where the instructor will take control and crank these red blooded truckers’ dreams into high gear.
It’s double the American trucks for double the laps and double the fun on this unforgettable and unique driving experience day!
Arrival, registration and safety briefing
2 instructed laps driving the Truck (4.8 miles)
You can purchase passenger rides on the day.
Please allow up to 3 hours at the venue.
Please be aware these trucks are left-hand drive, have steep steps. They have several gears in different ranges and no synchromesh, therefore you have to double the clutch to change gear. It takes varying lengths of time for individuals to become accustomed to using the gear system. It will not be possible to drive any more than one lap if the driver as not been able to get accustomed to using the gears.
