The High Performance Drivers Introduction is a “101” on track program introducing new drivers to the hobby of recreational performance driving.

Here’s what its about:

• Introducing new drivers to the recreational performance driving.
• Creating a lower cost, lower time commitment program to make it easier for drivers to give the sport a try.
• Breaking down the barriers of entry to the sport by keeping groups small, concentrated, and social.
• Creating more prepared drivers. In other words, demonstrating what to expect from a performance driving event as well as demonstrating what is needed and expected from a driver and their vehicle.
• In addition, it makes for a great car club or group activity!

So how does it work?

The premise of the program will be small, concentrated groups cycling between a Lead/Follow on-track program paired with classroom sessions on what to expect from performance driving events. In addition, it will be teaching basic technique and terms needed for success in performance driving.
