I.R.P...Introduction Racing Program

  Our Introductory Racing Program is designed to provide the basic skills necessary for sampling a real, Formula Race Car at a Race Track.  The program will educate the individual in the safe operation of a racecar, including the rules, and regulations while on or at the track. This program also teaches the driving techniques and discipline required for quick driving on a race track. This program stresses safety and asks any driver who does not adhere to the instructions of the Corner Marshals, Race Officials, or drives in a reckless manner to understand the need for an educated, enjoyable racing experience.

THE “I. R. P. “ AGENDA

1)   You will start the day with an introduction seminar and instruction in driving techniques. 

2)   Issuance of driving suits and helmets. 

3)  You will then be taken around the track in the trainer car. 

This is a three-seat car driven by an instructor with a participant on each side.  The instructor will drive

through the course to show you the correct line, including braking, turn-in, apex, and the exit of each turn. 

4)   There will be two groups of participants.  While one group is receiving on-track

       instruction in the trainer car, the other will be watching and receiving verbal instructions.

       When the session is over the groups will switch places.

5)   Each group will have their turn in the trainer car.

6)   Then there will be another blackboard session on driving techniques. 

7)  The groups will then be assigned cars and scheduled for two on-track sessions.

8)   You will be fitted to your car, [seatbelts, pedals and steering position] and led onto the     

       track by your instructor in the Pace Car.

9)   The instructor will take various positions so that he can observe your driving techniques.  10)  When the morning group sessions are over each group will have lunch that will be     provided by the IRP. 

11)  When you have finished lunch, feel free to explore the pit and paddock area to ask questions. 

12)   At the end of lunch, the afternoon group sessions will begin, they will also receive extensive individual instruction and track time. 

13)  You will also receive valuable safety insight from being placed on various Flag Stations.

14)  Above all, you will have this affordable opportunity to ”Try before you buy” as the total cost is only $495.00 and  that includes Lunch.

After you have tried our Introductory Racing Program and you want more, you might consider our $50.00 discount offer (good for 30-days) towards;

Please understand that the I.R.P. is NOT a Competition Racing School.  The FRCCA Competition School is an intense 3-day course which provides more track time and focuses on developing racing techniques. At this time the student would need a racecar, we can provide a Banshee racecar for either schools or competition races for a fee.
