Fellow Apexspeed members...
Any suggestions for a one day driving school in a formula car (not a SCCA drivers school event) for someone to try a racecar for their first time to just get their feet wet?
Bertil Roos?
The F3 school formerly known as Russell
Any others that you know of in a formula car that offer a one day school?
I don't have any school support dates lined up until Waterford Hills next April/May, but it's a two-day school with a total of eight on-track sessions.
Some track day groups will allow open wheelers in a special session, I'm willing to rent out one of my pinto FCs for just that purpose. I'd be happy to provide coaching/trackside support along with that. One of my responsibilities here at GM is instruction, and have been coaching with very good feedback privately for about a decade. I can support at any track within about 600 miles of 48855 zip code.
Cheers,
Cade
Not looking for any use of SCCA cars, just school cars ie Bertil Roos or Skip Barber had they not gone under.Quote:

Edit: I just looked - they require you to have their basic racing school first before they go to the FM.
Bertil Roos has a 1/2 day or 1 day under their 'adventure' programs. That might get what you're looking for.

Half day and full day courses.
They claim to have James Hinchcliff as a graduate. He probably majored in dancing and social media.
Allen Berg runs his school at Laguna Seca.

doesn't LucasOil school do a one-day?
Andy,
Just let them drive one of your cars at on a day someone rents a track nearby; like RRR.
Check with somebody like Kevin at Comprent for when they are renting.
Also there is a Time Trial at RRR in November. Easy to get a newbie into.

I like some of the ideas above. I forgot about the Bridgestone school in Canada and the Lucas Oil school has a date that might work as well. Just trying to plan for Christmas.

Kinda sorta....my racecar will become her racecar and I will grow some wings. However, just to see if she likes it or not and for her first time, I think it would be better if she didn't have to worry about wrecking her husbands mistress, she will have enough to think about and I don't want to add that kind of pressure to her.Quote:
