HIGH PERFORMANCE Circuit Driving
Overview
This is our top of the range course which goes far beyond the skills needed for normal safe and defensive driving on the road. It is a full day course conducted at specialised race tracks around Australia with participants using their own vehicle. The ratio of instructor to participants is 1:4.
As with all of our courses, safety is paramount and drivers and vehicles are not put at undue risk. A helmet is necessary for the High Performance course as are cotton trousers, a long sleeve shirt and thin sole shoes are recommended.
This course is also suitable to use as preparation for all CAMS Licencing and Car Club activities.
It is an intensive, highly instructive course and sensational fun. Some of our instructors include John Bowe, Alf Costanzo, Jamie Whincup, Will Davison, Luke Youlden, David Reynolds and other experienced local race drivers.
Course key points include:
* Learn the correct lines for high speed cornering
* How to make faster and smoother gear changes including heel-toe down changes
* Skid control techniques and myths.
* High speed car control
* Learning to not "overdrive" so as to reduce lap times.
* How to make a circuit "flow" by correct use of vision to link corners.
* Personal written evaluation
Venues include Sandown, Winton (VIC), Oran Park (NSW), Queensland Raceway, Mallala (SA), Barbagello (WA), Baskerville, Symmons Plains (Tas) and other venues.
* It is recommended for safety reasons that a John Bowe Driving Drive to Survive course (or similar) should be completed before the Advanced Driving course can be undertaken. Please contact our office to discuss your situation.
(The FPV Drive Day meets this pre-requisite)
