The first and only racing school in North America in which students – no experience needed – are learning the art and science of racecar driving in the very same car as is used in a professional racing series: The SCCA Pro Racing Sirius Satellite Radio Mazda MX-5 Cup.

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 Cup racecar and the vast experience of Skip Barber instructors whom currently race closed-wheel sports cars.

In addition, because the MX-5 Cup car 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 MX-5 Cup 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 slalom, braking & downshifting exercises with special attention on double-clutch/heel-and-toe downshifting
  • 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. Participants will be required to sign a Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement prior to participation. You may read liability documentation by clicking here.
