National Corvette Museum Offers C8 Corvette Drive For The Masses

We recently told you about new C8 owners having an opportunity to drive a C8 on-track at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School. The National Corvette Museum is offering its Corvette Experience, which features drives of the new C8 on the NCM Motorsports Park for everyone, not just owners.

The NCM Motorsports Park is adjacent to both the National Corvette Museum and the one and only Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The NCM Motorsports Park is home to some of the fastest names in Corvette. Corvette Racing veteran, Andy Pilgrim bases his driving instruction at the 3.2-mile, 23-turn track and the folks who make the factory Corvette racing team so fast have shared time on the Kentucky-based track. Located across the highway from both the National Corvette Museum and the Corvette Assembly Plant, a visit to the trifecta of Corvette goodness is sure to satisfy the appetite of the most ravenous Corvette enthusiast.

The track was designed to utilize various aspects of some of the world’s most notable tracks. As such, it is an excellent opportunity for Corvette Racing to get in some seat time without shipping the cars overseas.

The NCM Motorsport Park’s Corvette Experience gives you a blend of both classroom instruction, as well as plenty of hands-on experience behind the wheel of a new C8 Corvette. On-track driving is done in a lead/follow format. A helmet will be provided, but participants must wear long pants and close-toed shoes to drive the C8s on track. You must be 18 years or older to participate and possess a valid driver’s license. There is also a Vehicle Damage Policy and Indemnity Agreement that must be filled out before being able to drive the cars.

Each Corvette Experience features seat time, as well as classroom instruction inside the NCM Motorsports Park’s world-class facilities.

The Corvette Experience costs $799, and also includes lunch and a VIP tour of the National Corvette Museum. Go to the Corvette Experience website or call (270) 777-4509 to sign up for seat time in the world’s newest supercar. See the list below for available dates when the Corvette Experience is scheduled.
