For the first time ever, we are offering the unique opportunity to experience the full Chevy V8 powered throttle of driving one of the most iconic American race cars. Whilst you may not yet be familiar with US motorsports series, we're confident you will be after this unique experience driving the Mustang 'Late Model NASCAR'! You'll get the chance to follow in the illustrious footsteps of Richard Petty, who won the inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959, which has since become one of the most prestigious dates in the American motorsport calendar. Many NASCAR™ Cup Series drivers start their careers off driving the 'Late Model Class', which is what this car references the feel and look of. NASCAR™ (short for the National Association for Stock Car Racing) is a race that is challenging, fast and furious to all drivers who take it on, racing with as many as 40 cars at one time around the track at blistering speeds of over 200 mph. The bodywork of this car is based on the iconic Ford Mustang, with its trademark triple tail lights, although the decals simulate a lot of the working parts (so less chance of shattered glass being scattered far and wide across the track if a collision occurs). Powered on a fierce V8 engine roaring out 500 bhp, broad slick tyres and nothing more sophisticated than an old fashioned mechanical grip, there's no doors or windows either - so once you've had your safety briefing from your instructor and been taken for your sighting laps around track in a performance car, you'll climb in through the hole in the Mustang and set off to enjoy 8 laps on track!
