Has anyone done the second day?

$1,695 is a meaningful amount to spend …..

In May I did the both days of the regular FPRS. Day 1 is on the road course inside the Nascar oval. Day 2 you get on the Roval (combination road course and parts of the Nascar oval). I paid for that myself, not knowing Ford was going to offer the Mach1 Track Attack. It was worth it and I will do both days again, even thought day 2 appears not to be in the Mach 1s.

And here's the link to my video from the open track session on Day 1. I'm looking for a good one from Day 2. Video of Ford Performance Racing School Day 1 Open Track on the Infield Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway

I called Ford Performance and they returned my call a couple of hours later. There are several dates. If you do 2 days, the second day is $1,795.

That Day 1 Video track looks way too small and tame, no?

I've driven a Lambo on a small auto cross track and a Nascar at Pocono Racway and while its a hoot to get the Nascar up to 160mph on the straightaway it's more fun to dive into the twisty turns on an auto cross type track. I'd like to see what the Mach can do on a curvy track. Just my opinion.

The engine numbers for the M1 and the Bullitt are the same, overall gearing a bit better on the M1. I can say I had my Bullitt up to 147 on a remote road with no homes or driveways a couple years ago. No problem still pulling at that speed.

It is smaller than many road courses but still a blast as it pushes your car handling skills. If you do Day 2, you get on the Roval with one HAIRPIN, one CHICANE, and the chance for most drivers to reach over 100 (over 120 for me), it's plenty big.

I think it's really a matter of scaling and how the speed relates to the size of the track. A larger track will allow you to run faster and so the curves come up faster and the associated twists have the same affect on the driver. A smaller track, only will allow you to drive at a lower speed with matching curves.

Guess I'll find out in a few weeks, should be fun anyway.

Roval videos on Youtube make it look pretty good, both turns and a full straight

Advanced HPDE sessions at Homestead only use one oval and the 3/4 of the front straight.

(one of my vids, for the curious: )

You driving there or flying?

Haven't decided yet, depends on my schedule

I know that the VIN is sufficient to get a place at Track Attack, but… the invite finally arrived in the mail today. Me happy boy!

Received my letter today! I had already talked to the track though...waiting for the AT cars to arrive.
