Re: Decisions Decisions

There will be helmets and driving suits available if you don't have your own.

At full song the cars only have enough fuel to run for about 30 minutes, though during training exercises, while not running wide open, they will run longer.

On day one you'll do a shifting exercise, some car control on the autocross, a flag talk, braking shifting and turning. It could be different now as when I did my 2-day the 3-day school cars and the 2-day advanced cars were different. School cars had 4 speed crash boxes and Advanced 2-day cars were the current open wheel race cars with 5 speed sequential gearboxes. The shifting exercise was your first crack at the sequential gear box which is now no longer the case.

Day two is a lot of seat time. There is a passing exercise followed by lapping with instructors on track all morning. In the afternoon you'll practice race starts followed by more lapping with instructors.
