The day begins mid-morning with a quick once-over of the car, a classroom session to cover basic track etiquette, marshals and flags, how to adjust your seating position and a little bit about the track. The first on-track session has your instructor take the wheel for a couple of laps at low speed to let you get an overview of what's coming up, after which you take over!
Two more on-track sessions follow, with your instructor giving real-time feedback through helmet-to-helmet communicators.
