The MAZDASPEED MX-5 Three Day Racing School is the first and only racing school in North America in which students – no experience needed – learn the art and science of racecar driving in a car similar to that used in a professional racing series, the SCCA Pro Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup series.
Based on the same proven curriculum as Skip Barber’s open-wheel formula-car school, this program takes advantage of the unique capabilities of the MX-5 racecar and the vast experience of Skip Barber instructors whom currently race closed-wheel sports cars.
In addition, because the Mazda MX-5 is a two-seater, our instructors can ride ‘right-seat’ for specific on-track exercises where instantaneous feedback will be of huge value to the student.
Like the successful formula-car three day school, the MAZDASPEED MX-5 Three Day Racing School emphasizes track time combined with the best, most experienced instructor corps in the industry. Each day begins with a short classroom "chalk talk," then you're on the race track. What you can expect:
-
Day 1:
Intense series of autocross, braking & downshifting exercises
-
Day 2:
Series of high-speed lapping sessions combined with racing theory & advanced braking techniques
-
Day 3: Track drills in drafting, passing & racing in the rain; double-file race starts & single-file restarts
Prerequisite: Ability to drive a manual transmission.
