Ford Performance Racing School

Fantastic experience: Here for Mustang Unleashed

Fantastic experience: Ford Mustang Unleashed experience. Track time, road course, balloon car and accident avoidance maneuvers.

Fantastic experience: Dark Horse Track Attack — Absolutely Unforgettable! Attending the Ford Performance Racing School’s Dark Horse Track Attack was an incredible experience from start to finish. Taylor made registration effortless, keeping us informed on what to expect and building excitement in the weeks leading up to the event. That communication alone set the tone for how well-organized and professional the entire program was. The welcome dinner at the Speedway Club felt more like a celebration than a class orientation — great food, amazing views, and a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The next day on track was even better. The instructors were world-class — patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about helping everyone get the most out of the Mustang Dark Horse. Every session was thrilling, safe, and confidence-building. The facilities, cars, and staff were all top-notch, and the whole event ran flawlessly. If you own a Dark Horse or just love performance driving, this is an absolute must-do. You’ll leave a better driver with an even bigger smile.

Negative experience: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. The Dark Horse Track Attack by FPRS feel short in teaching us about our car unlike their other vehicle programs. It’s only there to go fast around the Charlotte Motor Speedway and doesn’t show what the car is really capable of in all the various modes. I got it, the DH is meant to go fast, but how about going through all the other things it can do. I’ve been through other FPRS programs and they go over all of what the vehicle can do, not just how fast it is on the track. How about discussing/demonstrating the various safety features, the other drive modes, the active/passive lane/traffic functions. These are things that the majority of the DH owners will experience on a daily drive versus their time on a track (for me that would be never). I say this objectively since this is our 8th Mustang and 3rd Ford Performance vehicle. The DH program needs to be relooked and tailored to an all encompassing program. Additionally, there are several “additional” fees involved. My spouse is on the title and registration but to participate, I had to pay $200 for her to come “hang out” and she really did not really get anything of value out of this experience. If I paid $2k, she could have driven another DH which really is just plain unfair. There’s also a fee for lodging, meals, and amenities, that were covered by the other programs like the ST Experience. From my perspective, this program needs to be relooked and revamped. Just be cause we bought a performance vehicle from Ford doesn’t mean we should have to pay extra to learn what it can do. We were disheartened with this experience. #performancedriving #fordperformance #darkhorsetrackattack #darkhorse #brembo #castroledge #recaroautomotive #stonercarcare

Fantastic experience: A friend and I drove from Michigan to NC to attend the Mustang Unleashed program. This is led by an outstanding group of drivers, instructors and staff who guided us in driving activities on the track and an Auto-X course. It was a fantastic day of fun and learning, and I highly recommend it if you have the opportunity to join.

Fantastic experience: Just finished the mach 1 track attack. What a blast. The facilities, instructors, vehicles are top notch. The instructors are knowledgeable professional drivers that take you to that next level of driving and confidence behind the wheel. Their fleet of race prepped mustangs well maintained and well equipped. The class time instruction was well delivered. I learned a lot and left a better more confident driver on the track. I caught a sneak peek of their all new fleet of dark horses so those who buy one I highly recommend taking advantage of the program you won't regret it. Thank you to the team for a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I recently attended Mustang Unleashed,, a program at Ford Performance Racing School, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience. While the driving itself was fantastic, the standout feature was undoubtedly the instructors. They were knowledgeable, engaged, and made learning fun. Their patience was remarkable—something they might chuckle about, but it's true! They welcomed everyone, regardless of skill level, and were always encouraging without ever being demeaning. I can't name everyone because I would surely forget someone, but I have to mention Josh, who did a fantastic job at the reception dinner. The instructions from Allison, Jeff, Bill, Aaron, and Chad were spot-on, and I still hear their guidance in my head. Sarah was my track leader, and her calm, precise directions were exactly what I needed. She provided constant encouragement, feedback, and challenges that pushed me just the right amount. I could probably write an entire review just about her! Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to come back for more!

Fantastic experience: This is a top notch group. They break down their knowledge into simple terms and build your confidence. They truly have a love for driving and want to share any knowledge they have to help you be a better (and way faster) driver. Oh, and the Dark Horse Mustang is an amazing car that have far more potential than any normal driver could ever understand until Dan takes you out for some hot laps (and shows you how slow you drive compared to professionals)... WOW, better than any amusement park ride!!!!!

Fantastic experience: All the instructors were amazing

Negative experience: Absolutely pitiful customer experience. I had an ST Experience booked for my birthday. The school called and changed my dates for the event and ruined the scheduling for me. After being forced to change dates to a new set that DOES NOT WORK FOR ME, they told me there was nothing they could do to get me into the ST Experience. So I did NOT get to go, I have a BRAND NEW ST Edge and had my experienced ruined by the staff before I could even show up and told that I could not change the schedule and that I just miss out on the experience entirely. I am DEEPLY dissatisfied and heart broken that I am being ROBBED of the experience and getting absolutely no help from the "team" over at Ford. 0/10 I do not recommend this frustration for anyone. Ruined my entire month, cancelled my trip and then gave me no option to reschedule.

Fantastic experience: It is by far the best experience to drive a race car.
