Reply to "Driving School"

markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

I did the 3 day Jim Russell open wheel school at Mont Tremblant (Quebec) and I would highly recommend such a course. I learned quite a lot during the three days of driving a Formula 2000 car in the rain! The most surprising thing was just how high the limits of adhesion are for such a car in the wet. I was always suspect when people said you only need to add 4 seconds (or so) to your lap time for wet vs. dry. OK, in my case it may have been more, but at least I was one of only two drivers of 10 over the 3 days who didn't spin my car (and I was mid-pack on lap times). The other thing I was concerned about was how I'd react to a bunch of other crazy guys driving fast around me. Something I wanted to find out in someone else's car before I put my own at risk. Take the insurance if it's offered or not included!

Like the others have said, you won't regret it!
