The Ford Performance Racing School at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina has been offering Blue Oval fans and owners a variety of ways to hone their driving skills for years now, via a number of different models. That includes the Ford Mustang Dark Horse Track Attack series, which just debuted this past February and quickly sold out a series of dates through the summer. Thus, those that want to attend a 2025 Ford Performance Racing School event will likely want to go ahead and circle these dates on their calendars.
The Ford Performance Racing School has added a handful of one-day events to its calendar for 2025 – April 14th, May 5th, and June 6th – all of which will take place behind the wheel of the Mustang Dark Horse. The one-day program is designed for enthusiasts and those that are aspiring racers, giving them all the tools they need to hone their skills and spend some time on the track.
The one-day FPRS experience starts in the classroom, where participants learn advanced driving techniques, how to follow racing lines, vehicle dynamics, and braking zones. After that’s finished, participants head out to the track with experienced instructors to put those newly-learned skills to the test and practice things like optimal acceleration coming out of the turns, the best braking points, and precision cornering techniques, to name just a few.
FPRS one-day attendees also get a mid-day break and a catered lunch, during which time they can hang out and get to know fellow participants. By the time the action-packed day is over, those folks will have improved their lap times, sharpened their driving skills, and made plenty of memories along the way. The experience is designed for everyone from first-timers to aspiring track stars, but is limited to 20 people per class, with a cost of $1,995 per person – while limited liability insurance can also be added for another $225. Those interested in signing up for one of these events can do so by heading over here.

We bought a 2021 Mustang Mach 1 which came with the Mach 1 Track Attack Program. That gave us time on the drag strip, autocross in the morning and the afternoon was spent on the NASCAR road course with a Professional Race Driver/Instructor. It was limited to 3 cars following the Instructor with radio and also consultation. This is a brief overview, but with the full day course, it would be very exciting, whether an up and coming driver, or someone that would like to learn more skills, in a safe environment.
I would recommend it to anyone, even if you don’t race. You will learn skills that can be used on the road.
