| Get "schooled fast" on the racetrack! 
 
   
 Our "Up-To-Speed" High Performance Driver's Education (HPDE) is one day program of classroom and hands-on training with an experienced instructor.
 
 Classroom sessions focus on the basics:
 
 
 
» Track etiquette: Use of flags, pitting in/out, giving point-bys, using you mirrors & eyes.
 » Driving basics: seat & hand position, hand & foot inputs, car/tire feedback.
 » Vehicle dynamics: Traction limits, weight transfer, friction circle physics.
 » Racing skills: Consistency, throttle steering, threshold braking, timing & visual focus.
 » Safety skills: What to do in a spin, "slow hands, fast feet." For driving sessions, an instructor "rides shotgun" and coaches you with tips and real-time feedback. Each HPDE student receives a minimum of four racetrack driving sessions. A typical schedule is shown below.
