First Timer?
Driving schools teach you to improve your driving skills. We will emphasize the relationship between driver and car, making them function in unison and giving you, as a student, the opportunity to learn your limitations and expand your capabilities, thus creating safe driving skills and habits in a controlled situation.
You won’t be pushed or encouraged to go any faster than is comfortable for you. Participants are organized into run groups in accordance with experience and skill.
Beginner?
Beginners are taught driving style (smoothness, consistency, the ability to read the track), and more experienced participants continue to work on consistency while developing new skills such as trail braking, and threshold braking.
Advanced?
More experienced participants continue to work on consistency while developing new skills such as trail braking, and threshold braking. You can be “signed off” and drive solo when you have proven to your instructor and the Chief Instructor that you understand the basics of high-speed driving, you can consistently drive the correct line, and you show proper etiquette on track. Maturity, good judgment, skill, and significant experience will lead to being signed off for solo driving. Advanced students may be accepted into the Independent Study Group, where you will work with instructors in their own cars, have special classroom sessions, and may have special on-track exercises.
