If you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime, you won’t want to miss the Appalachian Driving Experience during your vacation in North Carolina! This is a unique and thrilling opportunity to step into the driver’s seat of an iconic sports car and go for a drive on some of the most breathtaking roads in the United States! Here are the top 4 things that you need to know about the Appalachian Driving Experience in Murphy NC:
1. What to Expect
The Appalachian Driving Experience offers you the amazing chance to turn the key and drive one of Porsche’s race bred sports car models! You’ll not only get to experience the thrill of cruising around in the car of your dreams, but you also get to travel along some amazing mountain routes and enjoy some fascinating historic stops! Pick the Classic Experience to drive 25 or 50 miles in the Porsche of your choice, or go for the Premier Drive where you’ll spend the entire 75 or 150 mile experience rotating throughout the fleet of Premier Porsches! The day begins with an introduction from a professional sports car instructor, then you’ll spend your time behind the wheel as you follow the lead car on stunning mountain roads!
2. Qualifications for the Experience
To participate in the experience, you must be at least 25 years old with no major driving violations that would restrict your license from driving a vehicle on public roads. There are certain driver height and weight restrictions that may also apply due to the size of the Porsche cars. Note that all clients are required to complete a liability waiver and a rental agreement prior to receiving the vehicle. Also keep in mind that all drivers must carry a form of full coverage insurance to cover damages to the vehicle in the event of an accident.
3. Things to Bring For Your Adventure
When showing up for your Appalachian Driving Experience, be sure to bring your valid state issued driver’s license so that you can be cleared to drive! You’ll want to dress in clothes that are suitable for both cool and warm weather climates, as some of the altitudes reach over 5,000 feet. If you are planning to go in the summer, it can sometimes get hot (especially in the convertibles) so remember to dress accordingly! Flat shoes are required and no heels more than one inch are allowed. As a reminder, make sure that all waivers noted on the website are completed in advance of your trip!
