Yes, we offer a group for novices that builds their skills with our Chief Driving Instructor in the classroom and on track.
Each group gets 4 sessions on each Club day (excluding Touring Lites – 2 morning sessions but can advance groups if approved by the Chief Driving Instructor).
All convertible Vehicles must be equipped with a fixed roll bar. Any convertible that does not have a fixed roll bar will not be allowed in a passing group and will have to be in a run group that is controlled by a pace and chase car. NOTE: Many manufacturers’ roll hoops or roll bars designed for street use (non-racing), as well as roll bars that terminate below the top of the Operator’s or any passengers’ helmets, shall not be approved. Factory or aftermarket hard tops with the absence of a roll cage or a harness bar on a convertible are not considered to be roll over protection.
All you need to do is email the Club Manager to get in contact with the other clubs.
