About this event
To master the art of high-performance driving, a driver must be willing to challenge the car’s limits. However, at high speed, in an expensive machine, where the walls are just a little too close for comfort, the feeling of the car moving around under you may cause panic or doubt – is this slide about to become a spin or is it one of those perfectly manageable moments drivers experience hundreds of times throughout a race? Worse yet is driving on track fearful of your next spin because the cause feels so random and unexplainable.
What separates an experienced driver, with good car control, from the novice is the ability to instantly identify when a slide has crossed that threshold and how to respond quickly with a skilled combination of steering and footwork. This car control clinic will help drivers bridge the gap between novice and veteran drivers. Through a combination of classroom instruction and in-car training at Road Atlanta’s world class skid pad, this course will give the drivers the tools they need to master the art of car control.
*This event satisfies the WRL probationary requirements for skid pad attendance.
