Who should attend?

The Grat­tan Driver’s School is open to all licensed drivers age 18 or older.

Do you want to become a bet­ter and safer driver?
Do you want to learn more about the lim­its of you and your car in a safe environment?
Have you always wanted to drive on a racetrack?
Have you dri­ven on other tracks before and want to learn a new one?
Have you dri­ven at Grat­tan before, but want to improve your line?

If you can answer yes to any of these ques­tions you should attend this school.

What to expect?

Novice, Inter­me­di­ate, and Advanced stu­dents will all ben­e­fit from the dri­ving instruc­tion offered at Grat­tan. Each stu­dent will drive his/her own car with an instruc­tor pro­vid­ing guid­ance until both stu­dent and instruc­tor are com­fort­able that the stu­dent is ready to drive solo on the track. No stu­dent will be pushed beyond his/her abil­ity and com­fort level. All on-track dri­ving will take place in run groups based on pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ence, and each run group will have mul­ti­ple ses­sions on the track.

On Sat­ur­day, stu­dents will receive class­room instruc­tion on the basic con­cepts of car con­trol and safe dri­ving (well beyond any­thing taught in high-school dri­ver train­ing!). Then in-car exer­cises will be con­ducted with the goal of giv­ing each stu­dent a good sense for the brak­ing and acci­dent avoid­ance capa­bil­i­ties of their car – capa­bil­i­ties that often far exceed what the dri­ver expects! After these famil­iar­iza­tion exer­cises are com­pleted, stu­dents will be intro­duced to the track by rid­ing with their instruc­tors, and then will have their turn at nego­ti­at­ing the track with their instruc­tor rid­ing along to pro­vide coach­ing. Saturday’s on-track expe­ri­ence will be fol­lowed by a ban­quet at the event hotel. No one will go away hungry!

Sun­day morn­ing activ­i­ties will resume at Grat­tan Race­way with more time on the track, again with instruc­tors coach­ing the novices and any­one else who would like some addi­tional instruc­tion. By the end of the day each stu­dent will have had enough dri­ving time to end the day tired but elated, and look­ing for­ward to the next event.
Grat­tan Advanced Dri­ver Day – Fri­day, April 25, 2014
Who should attend?

The Grat­tan Advanced Dri­ver Day is open to all drivers who are either club instruc­tors or advanced HPDE dri­vers who want an addi­tional oppor­tu­nity to learn the track. The Advanced Dri­ver Day will pro­vide a great oppor­tu­nity to learn Grat­tan if you have not been there before, or to get some qual­ity track time in if you are already expe­ri­enced there. If you have any ques­tion about your eli­gi­bil­ity, please con­tact Mike Fisher.
