Hagerty and Skip Barber Racing School have teamed up to offer the Hagerty Driving Academy – a series of events nationwide that teaches safe, proficient driving skills and the art of shifting a manual while sharing the excitement of being behind the wheel of fun cars.
The Hagerty Driving Academy teaches the survival skills needed to safely handle today’s challenging road conditions over the course of one full day. Using our race-proven teaching techniques, everyone in the family can benefit – from the teenage driver to the more experienced enthusiast. Each course is a carefully constructed combination of classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction in an exciting variety of passenger vehicles including an array of Classic standard shift cars from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, providing a unique and educational experience for all who participate in the program. Participants have the time of their lives – and learn the skills that could save them!

Hagerty Driving Academy
The Driving Academy provides a foundation for safe and proficient driving. Students of this one-day program gain a greater understanding of vehicle dynamics. Knowing how a car will respond in an emergency situation is critical to knowing how to avoid one. During this school you participate in accident avoidance exercises like panic braking and emergency lane changes. You will also learn how to properly correct a skid, practice slides and recoveries, and introduce yourself to performance driving on the autocross course.
Thanks to our friends at Hagerty, you will have an opportunity to learn the basic operation of a manual transmission in one of our classic cars!
