Are you a Ford enthusiast with a need for speed? At Mike White Ford, we have a wide range of sporty and powerful vehicles with plenty of horsepower, including the iconic and ever-popular muscle car, the Mustang. But if you want to drive fast, we don’t encourage it on public streets and highways. If you have an urge to hit the gas, we have a suggestion: look into attending the Ford Performance Racing School, where adrenaline meets education. Nestled just outside Charlotte, North Carolina, adjacent to the Charlotte Motor Speedway, this premier racing school offers an unparalleled racing experience for drivers of all skill levels.

The Charlotte Motor Speedway is a mecca for racing enthusiasts, annually hosting two premier NASCAR races, the Coca-Cola 600 and the Bank of America ROVAL 400, as well as a healthy collection of lower-profile races. This world-class facility provides the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable journey into the world of high-performance driving.

Established in 2006, the Ford Performance Racing School stands out as the only racing school officially supported by Ford Motor Company. With a focus on honing driving skills and promoting safety, it is one of America’s top training programs for performance driving enthusiasts. Every aspect of the Ford Performance Racing School is designed to immerse participants in the thrill of the drive. It offers one- and two-day courses, a half-day Mustang Experience, and an advanced day school for those who have completed the one- or two-day courses.

Each of these programs has a classroom component, but the focus is on the driving component, where school attendees get to test their skills in track-ready Fords out on the racetrack. Led by a team of seasoned instructors, many of whom are championship-winning drivers, the school offers a diverse fleet of vehicles, including modified Mustang GTs, GT500s, Mach 1s, Fiesta STs, F-150 Raptors, Edge STs, and Explorer STs. Whether you’re a novice looking to learn the ropes or a seasoned racer seeking to refine your skills, its instructors are dedicated to helping you reach your full potential behind the wheel.

One of the highlights of the experience is an opportunity to get behind the wheel of Ford’s new Mustang Dark Horse. Renowned for its track-capable performance and exhilarating driving dynamics, the Dark Horse is the ultimate thrill ride for any racing enthusiast. Under the guidance of instructors, you’ll have the chance to push this iconic vehicle to its limits on the legendary Roval track, experiencing firsthand the adrenaline rush of high-speed driving.

For car lovers, the Ford Performance Racing School is more than just a driving experience – it’s a journey of self-discovery and skill development. Through classroom instruction and hands-on track time, participants will learn the ins and outs of performance driving, from mastering the art of cornering to perfecting their racing line.

Whether you’re a lifelong Ford fan or simply looking for an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime adventure, the Ford Performance Racing School invites you to sign up for the ride of a lifetime. From the thrill of the track to the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts, it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
At Mike White Ford, we have a passion for Ford cars in every way, whether it is championship racing, off-roading in the Idaho wilderness, or just taking the kids to baseball practice. If you are searching for a new ride or want to take a test drive in a new Ford, contact or visit one of our dealerships in Coeur d’Alene or Sandpoint. With a wide selection of new Ford vehicles ready to hit the streets, now is the perfect opportunity to experience the thrill of Ford performance firsthand – but save your inner speedster for a trip to the Ford Performance Racing School!
