Getting to ride/drive racecars around Daytona has got to be one of the greatest jobs in the world. I would wake up everyday with a huge smile on my face.
Not the same, but I instruct and do demo laps for a company that uses supercars in the UK. We have to have a race license and experience to carry out the job. Whilst yes we do get to warm the cars up, scare passengers etc as a result of our experience many of us don't like being driven around by a complete novice, can be pretty stressful if you get any drivers that you feel you can "trust" in a day. Another thing is how much you have to talk especially over the loud engines/wind noise/tyres etc results in a sore throat after a couple days of working from talking so much. I'm amazed the amount of people that hop in and tell me I have a dream job, I usually just nod and agree with them though for simplicity.
ATTENTION: Anyone looking to do this, they no longer do it this way with an instructor. The current "NASCAR experience" bought all the driving experiences including Petty and completely destroyed them. You go out alone with a spotter in your ear. All the cars are very limited now and they give you certificates for 150mph when they are rev limited to 120 (5k RPM) because they are using 450hp crate motors now. I waited my whole life to do this and apparently I waited too long.
@Fire&Ice909 you must not have watched his video. i may be projecting but this gentleman is literally crying in his video about this shit. also imagine caring about oval racing as a whole, get over yourself.
I m dropping the hammer. Great run. Best I ve seen Made the King proud That last full lap was awesome Getting all that she had. No idea what that set driver back but if you have some laps under your belt drive this one.
That would be about 110 to 120 that's what they are limited to I've done this and they said I did 180 my time was a 45 after I did the math I did only about 120 plus I had my phone off to the side of of their vision on Google maps it was reading 116
Hey man, it was your money and your time. If you enjoyed it, then screw the haters out there. I don’t know why anyone wants to piss on a “Experience”. It was yours, not theirs.
II have always bracket raced/drag raced and wondered what it would be like to drive on a nascar track. This morning I did (3) 8 minute sessions at LVMS. Each time I was allowed to run at a higher RPM. The tri-oval track, Banking and natural left steering of the car was “new territory” for me. The first 8 minutes, I sucked and quickly realized I needed to concentrate more. The second 8 minutes I ran at a higher rpm than session 1. I found that I was a little more familiar with the track and the car handled better going faster. Also, I could understand the spotter better through the headset. The last 8 minute session I was allowed to run at a higher rpm. It was night & day different from session 1 & 2 as the car really performed around the track and I could hold the lines better. I was looking for an experience and truthfully got just that. I also realized that the professionals must be in terrific shape to go 400 to 500 miles. Although I enjoyed the experience, I prefer bracket racing, however I would recommend that anyone interested in NASCAR should try this at least once. If you go into it with an open mind, I hope and think you may finish the day respecting the sport’s drivers way more-I do! Just my humble opinion, take it or leave it.
Do they read off lap times at all while you are driving? Or, do you get a summary of each lap and it's speed once you have completed your number of laps?
Nice Job! You Killed this out of the Gate. Have you ever driven anything comparable to Cup Car? Have you raced in any competitive series. I'm going to do it in September.
I'm thinking of doing this in April when we get from Australia do you get a copy of the video as well as your lap speed and times if someone could let me know that would be great Thanks Mate
Stephan Goodall you can buy the video. Was about $100 US when I went a couple of years ago. They do give a lap time sheet that also shows your top speed.
Not sure who told you 171mph but they lied,60 sec lap around Daytona = 150 mph I had your last lap at 55.97 which calculates to 161.082 mph but even at that speed you did do a good job, I have about 2 million miles around that track...

Great Job as far as i'm concerned! I think so far the best video i've seen yet! Apparently the 8th lap ( in the experience ) is entering and exiting the track so you have 7 laps at speed.
What people don't understand is that during this time they were going a lot faster than they do now even though it's false advertising now. The RP experience allowed the rev limiter to go higher since you had an instructor in the car. So everyone who is saying "sorry to burst your bubble but you aren't going that fast" shouldn't be saying that since the nascar experience and the RP experience were two different types. Nascar experience is a worse version of this version. Even if you aren't going 170+ it's still closer than what'd you get in today's experience
lol,,, how can you have a richard petty driving experience without wrecking or having the engine blow up? just kidding. petty was/is my all time favorite racer. watched him at the trac when they had those big wings on the back of the car.
I didn't time him, so I've no idea if you're right, but if you are, it's totally awesome that you called him out on that LOLLOLOLOOOOOOOOOLOLOLOOOLOOOOOOOLOLLOLOLO
I did the Richard Petty driving experience and it was awesome. When you do it you follow a car that dictates your pace I know when I did it they only let you average about 140. It isnt hard to figure out how fast they average. The time is on the screen and you just keep track of the amount of seconds it take to go from the start finish line until you get back to the start finish line. It is a 2.5 mile track so you just do the math.
To be fair though they give you the numbers from your ride and they list your top speed. My top speed was only 141 mph I think if you go by the time I think it was like 136 mph. He clearly had a different type of driving experience. I had to follow a car and this guy had an instructor in the car with him. I wasnt trying ti dis this guy.
The car has a low rear gear. No way to achieve 171. The loud sound from the engine limit at 7000 rpm makes one feel fast. It is a simulation. Very controlled for safety. Most likely reached 95 to 105 mph.
Just use math. Daytona is 2.5 miles long. It took him from 3:21 to 4:23 to complete a lap if you start at the top of the tri-oval. So 62 seconds. Which means he was driving one mile every 24.8 seconds on average. There is 3600 seconds in one hour. Divide the two and you get an average speed of 145.16 mph.
@@dsshowerpan 48 second time around a 2.5 mile track is 187.5 mph you would have to do a lap in 44.4 seconds to achieve a 203 mph average. (almost two seconds faster than the driver who won the pole this year)
Pilot4Hire I looked up fastest recent qualifying lap at Daytona and got 48.4 @ 203.5 by Ty Dillon. That's how I got the figure. I think you have to take account that vehicle isn't at constant velocity, I don't know.
The guy that made the video is turbo2liter. He also said the older version (the one in this video) actually got up to the speed it says it does because they have someone in the car with you to make sure you can safely control the car
I saw that video too. But this video seems pretty legit, I did the calculations. Daytona is 2.5 miles and I recorded a lap of about 56 seconds. So the speed was around 160 mph.
Just so you know ,top speed on that track and special of the section class you took is 125mph ... They wont let you go any faster ,and special without spending a least 100 miles on the track ... So people stop thinking you going that fast .. I just got my pro license and I spend 300 miles on the track ,and the only way to hit 170+ is to get approved by nascar to take the advance class ,where you run a real driver car with 800 horse power engine, at 6000 rpm You guys drive a student car with 600 horse power amd not more of 4,800rpm I'm tired listen to people putting videos on you tube saying they going 170mph Cmon people If I saw you my videos you cant even able to see the fans how fast I'm going on 170+ ...
You'd think for someone who just "got their pro license" you'd let it go and just let people have their fun. Maybe he was genuinely told, although maybe by someone uninformed, that he was going 170mph. I'm not saying you're wrong about any of that, you are correct. But theres a way to say things that sound professional and wont leave people asking you if you'd like some cheese with your whine.
The best lap times in this video were approx. 55.9 seconds. At Daytona, 2.5 miles around, that comes out to right at 160mph for the lap average. Even if they did lie to him, it wasn't by much. 160 is still much faster than the NASCAR "experience" we have now. Would have loved to do this video's version of the experience.
