The Regional Races Series is open to Skip Barber Racing Three Day Racing School
graduates, plus any other qualified race driver. That is, if you've graduated from
another accredited professional racing school, or you already have a documented
racing history, you are also eligible to enter the Race Series after meeting some
pre-requisites.
If you haven't yet done so, be sure to click on the six-minute video, "The Next
Step"; it will give a fine synopsis of what to expect!
Having completed the Three Day Racing School, you probably now see that competitive
racing is more accessible than you thought. To ensure that you are comfortable and
ready to enter your first race weekend, all new racers must practice. That means
before you roll out for your first starting grid there are some pre-requisites you
need to complete. These pre-requisite courses are part of what's called Advanced
Activities.
Advanced Activities teach you how to be safe and consistent. What's great is that
the speed comes naturally as you follow our proven path. (Note: At all Race Weekends,
we group the drivers based on their experience and speed, so that you race with
drivers of similar aptitude.) The pre-requisites to join the Regional Race Series
is simple: We want to see you complete two on-track programs ("Advanced Activities")
before you enter your first Race Weekend.
Those can be:
These are minimum requirements and Skip Barber Racing reserves the right to require
additional track time for some drivers before they enter a Race Weekend.

Practice: $1,299
This is the Friday track time (Thursday at Lime Rock Park), consisting of approximately
80 miles of lapping, with feedback and coaching after every session. All your laps

‘‘lead/follow’’ coach for a 30-minute on-track session. Both Skip Barber F2000 race
cars have two-way radios. On the race track, follow the instructor nose-to-tail
and learn where to precisely brake, turn-in, apex and track-out. Instant feedback
via the radios, plus sit-down time after the session.
All drivers have limited damage liability for all Advanced Activities, including
Advanced Two Day Racing Schools, Advanced Car Controls, Lapping, Lead-Follow, Practice
