Classroom Instruction

Comprehensive classroom sessions cover many of the basic concepts that are the foundation for high performance driving. Topics include car prep, driving position, attitude, vision, weight transfer, tire adhesion and cornering techniques.

On-Track Driving

Students will drive the track at speed during multiple 20-30 minute sessions with an instructor riding along providing guidance. This allows students to enhance car control skills by applying and practicing the techniques discussed in class.

Passing is only allowed on designated sections of the course, and under controlled circumstances, making for a very safe environment.
