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.

Race Weekend: $2,999
A Skip Barber Regional "Race Weekend" includes all Saturday and Sunday (Friday
and Saturday at Lime Rock Park, Conn.) track time: Qualifying, warm-ups, two
races.
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

is mandatory for first-time racers, optional for experienced drivers.
Lapping: $1,199
This is the generally available Monday-through-Thursday track time (Monday

"Lapping," with feedback and coaching after every session. Laps are not timed.
Lead-Follow: $1,399
Guaranteed to take big chunks off your lap times. Generally available during
the Lapping- and Practice Days that precede Race Weekends. You get your own
personal ‘‘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 and Race Weekends. Your School & Series Advisor can
provide details on those limits and the required refundable deposits.
