Whether you are an aspiring racer, want to experience the thrill of driving a real race car, or simply want to perfect your driving skills, this course is for you.

The Road Racing School starts day one with a session in the Pro Drive SkidCars. You will learn the fundamentals of vehicle stability, skid recovery, and precise car control. After this fun and informative session, you will dress in a racing suit and helmet and strap into a Spec Racer Ford for a series of cornering and downshifting exercises.

Day two begins with a threshold braking exercise that will take you and your tires to the limit! Next you will practice combining precise shifting and braking with appropriate racing lines through a succession of corners. 

Then you will begin lapping Portland International Raceway, first in a lead-and-follow session with an instructor showing you the fast way around the track, then on your own so you can apply the techniques you have learned.  

Day three: the focus is on track time! Our team of instructors will work on building your consistency and speed throughout the day by observing you from every corner of the track. You will receive personalized feedback on each of your lapping session as our instructors motivate you to drive as fast as you can. Finally, time to grid up. Three days of learning culminates as the green flag drops for your first race start! When you take the checkered flag for the final time you will have experienced one of the most rewarding challenges of your life.

Want more track time? Extend your Road Racing School to four days with an additional day of lapping to further develop your driving skills.
