First unveiled at the New York International Auto Show in 2005, Dodge unveiled - in collaboration with DaimlerChrysler - a new police version of their long running and popular Charger model, and at TrackDays we offer this for several driving experience days at venues across the UK, chiefly (pardon the pun) our Dodge Charger Interceptor 14 Lap experience package.
The main differences you’ll notice with this is the police performance-tuned steering, with the gear shifter also mounted in the steering column, heavy-duty brakes and a severe duty cooling system, as well as an aluminium grille plate which can mount radio equipment, sirens and lights.
Being a police vehicle means the Dodge Charger V8 is necessarily super swift to help the cops deal with lawbreakers in real life chases and arrests. With a souped up 5.7-litre Hemi V8 engine on 380 bhp, it has a top speed of 145 mph and accelerates from 0 - 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.
Booking a Dodge Driving Experience
Using the options on the left side of this page, you can check for available dates and locations for any of our Dodge driving experiences. If you can't find what you're searching for, our customer service staff will be glad to help you - and they can even schedule and organise events over the phone.
If you're buying an open gift certificate for a Dodge package, double-check the validity period, as certain Dodge vouchers and special offers may have a shorter or longer activation and use period, which will be clearly stated on the voucher.
Please bear in mind that if you book a Dodge Experience directly onto a date, you are making a reservation request, and the day and time you choose are subject to availability. We usually reply to booking inquiries within 48 hours, but you should not make any arrangements until you get a final confirmation email. When you submit a booking request, you will get an immediate receipt prior to your final confirmation.
When purchasing Dodge Experiences, make sure the driver meets all of the age, weight, height, and driving licence requirements. Each event will have its own set of requirements, so double-check that you've covered all the bases.
If the experience is solely for young drivers, we will usually state so in the package name, but this is not always the case. If you book a Dodge Experience and the driver does not meet the requirements on the day of the experience, they will most likely be unable to drive and will be offered a ride as a passenger.
Trackdays is committed to make the booking process as simple and painless as possible. We want our customers to have the best experience possible from the minute they make a reservation to the time they get behind the wheel.
If you're making a reservation for yourself, use our live date booking system. Because we are the only voucher supplier in the UK that allows live bookings, you may book your experience on the exact day and time that works best for you. This option is excellent for individuals who know when they'll be accessible and want to schedule things ahead of time.
One of our open date vouchers is perfect for reserving for a friend or loved one. These are great gifts since they enable the recipient to plan their own Dodge experience. In any event, these certificates are the perfect gift for any enthusiastic driver, so don't wait to schedule your Dodge driving adventure with Trackdays.
Numerous police forces across North America now use the Dodge Charger V8 in both marked and unmarked variations as a patrol car. But it’s also become a popular choice of vehicle for many international police forces in Canada, Mexico, Chile, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and the Czech Republic.
In 2009, Michigan State Police did some speed trials on several different pursuit vehicles. Of these, the Charger V8 came top for acceleration, cornering, and braking, seeing off the likes of the Dodge Magnum and even the slightly faster V6 Charger.
All experiences are subject to availability. The most recent information on dates when an event may be available can be checked by looking at the calendars on the website, or when you have activated and logged in with your voucher. Please note not all spaces are shown online so if you cannot see spaces for your event please call or email for dates. We will do our best to secure your preferred choice of event, venue and date, but to avoid disappointment book as early as possible, especially for peak times such as weekends and the summer months which book up very quickly. Do not purchase an experience for yourself or as a gift that has a choice of venues if you or the person it is for are only able to travel to one of the choices. Once you are booked, you are bound by the terms and conditions of the event host of which a copy can be made available upon request. In most circumstances, a cancellation cannot be made once a date has been booked.
When booking by phone or online you should not make arrangements in connection with an Event until you have received your final booking confirmation stating your date and time (this does not include the automatic purchase email you receive that confirms what you have just ordered). Your final confirmation will usually arrive within 48 hours of making the purchase. For voucher redemption see 'voucher conditions' below. Where specific elements of an Event such as vehicles or equipment are not available due to mechanical breakdown, we reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions on the day. If this is not possible we reserve the right to cancel the experience at short notice.
Voucher holders must make a prior booking and receive confirmation in order that an open voucher can be redeemed. We recommend that when you have chosen your experience you redeem your voucher at least 21 days in advance of taking your selected experience. We do not guarantee availability on all events, even if the date is showing, so if a chosen event is full or you cannot find a suitable date during the validity period of your voucher then the credit can be used towards an alternative event. Do not arrive at a venue expecting to be able to use your voucher without making a prior booking and receiving a booking confirmation. Trackdays.co.uk will not be held liable for any costs incurred in such circumstances.
Unless stated otherwise, vouchers are valid for one person only. Where necessary a top-up payment can be made to increase the value of a voucher to book a higher priced event. Note that during the out of season months the price of experience may change. If the price of the event is lower than the value of the voucher the remaining credit will be held for use until the vouchers expiry date. We recommend booking as early as possible as you must have undertaken your experience before the expiry date printed on the front of your Voucher. All vouchers will be valid for use up to the expiry date displayed, but after this date, vouchers will automatically expire and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances. Trackdays.co.uk staff are not responsible for reminding or informing customers when a voucher is due to expire. A voucher holder may book a date which is outside of the expiration date displayed on the voucher but must extend the expiry of their voucher for an administration fee. This must be processed before the original expiry date. Voucher credit cannot be used for extension fees or to pay for booking protection.
