Richard Petty Driving Experience

The Richard Petty Driving Experience at Walt Disney World Speedway has experienced phenomenal growth since its inception in February 1997. Offering race fans and adventure-seekers the ultimate thrill of riding in or driving a race car around the one-mile tri-oval speedway, guests can experience the "real thing!"

North Carolina-based Richard Petty Driving Experience (RPDE) takes motorsports fans out of the grandstands and behind the wheel of a stock car, offering several ride and drive programs to race enthusiasts, thrill seekers and corporate groups.

The sessions at Walt Disney World Speedway run daily. Driving experiences are available for those at least 18 years of age with a valid driver's license and the ability to drive a vehicle equipped with a standard transmission. Fans at least 14 years of age can participate in the Ride-Along Program with proof of identification. Riders under 18 years of age must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.
