Pro Driving Instruction

Our professional driving instructors have years of racing experience and are with you every step of the way, offering feedback and encouragement via radio. They’ll always perform the initial exercises with you, demonstrating everything from proper seating positions to the best way through a corner.


Reach Your Own Limits

We practice challenge by choice, so you’re always at a level of performance that you feel comfortable with. Our instructors provide instant feedback and positive reinforcement while encouraging each driver to have a little fun. Okay, maybe more than a little.

Dress For Success

M4 GT4 race suit

If you want to be a pro racecar driver, it’s best to start by looking the part. Get fitted from the School’s selection for your race suit, race shoes, HANS device, helmet and gloves before stepping into the M2 Racing.

To help you learn the layout of the track, you’ll get behind the wheel of a BMW M4 streetcar and follow the instructor’s car. Build up speed and follow the line to gain confidence for your M2 Racing session.

Just like our other Lead/Follow exercises, except you’re in a racecar. Expect speeds to be even higher as you follow the right line and build up confidence (and boost).

Data and Video

We’re serious about improvement, so you’ll be provided with lap data after each track session, allowing you to find areas for improvement. You'll leave with a USB stick and video of your experience including telemetry data overlay. The instructors do not review data.
