24 Hr Advanced Racing School:
Paid Practice Blocks: 30 Minute Blocks:

Overview: The advanced school will consist of high speed lapping sessions with individualized instructor feedback in regard to adjustments to racing line, braking, lifting, etc. Feedback and additional tips will be given specific to 24 hour racing consideration.

The school starts at an advanced level immediately. Students are expected to already know their flags, racing terminology, and how to find the racing line/apexes.

School participants will be broken in to two groups. While one group is on track, the other group will be getting feedback from their instructors.

Overview: Six - 30 minute practice sessions are available for purchase. This 30 minute practice block can be for one person or share between a group. Sessions will start and stop at the same time for all.

The schedule below lists availability for each time slot. At the time you purchase your session(s) you will specify the time slot(s) you want. If you need to have your session time moved we are happy to do where slots are still available.
