Sanction # 19-TERG-6241
This is your chance to put yourself behind the wheel of your street licensed or solo prepared car on the beautiful Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. You will be paired with an experienced instructor to show you the ins and outs of road course driving at speed. You will have up to five 25-minute sessions to hone your skills and grin till your face hurts. The 2.40 mile Club Course configuration will be used in the morning and the 2.258 mile Pro Course will be used in the afternoon. No competition license is required for this event - just a state issued driver's license.
Successful completion of this event at the Intermediate or higher level will qualify you to participate in the 1 hour Bracket race on Saturday afternoon, a session which you may share with another driver.*
