MX5 Racing School
3/26/2010 @ Sebring International Raceway - Modified

Program Overview

Based on the same proven curriculum as Skip Barber’s formula-car racing school, this program takes advantage of the unique capabilities of the MX-5 Cup racecar and the vast experience of Skip Barber Racing School instructors whom currently race closed-wheel sports cars and sedans.

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 is of huge value to the student.

Like the successful Formula Car three day school, the MAZDASPEED 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

Drivers who successfully complete the Three Day Racing School are immediately eligible for Skip Barber Racing School Advanced Activities (see below), which qualify you to compete in the MAZDASPEED Challenge. Three Day Racing School graduates are also eligible to apply for a SCCA Regional Competition License.

NOTE: Due to Tuesday afternoon test sessions at Lime Rock Park, certain Three Day Racing School dates are designated as 4 Day - 3 Day. Hours for 4 Day - 3 Day Schools are Monday and Wednesday 8am to 5 pm, with Tuesday and Thursday 8am to noon.
