Autocross School
Once a year, GGR organizes an autocross school for new drivers, as well as those who want to improve their driving skills. The one day event is spent learning and experiencing car dynamics through a series of exercises: skidpad, braking, turning, accelerating and so on.
It is the perfect venue for young drivers, and drivers young at heart, to explore what happens at the performance limit of a car. It is a great first step or review for those who want to autocross or drive on a race track. Even if you never participate in one of these programs, many of the skills you learn will be useful on public highways.
Course Workers Learn by Watching - C. Leglise
Testing the Edge with an Instructor - C. Leglise
Every student receives in-car instruction from one of our experienced autocross instructors. The school emphasizes safety, fun and speed.
The 2011 Autocross School will be held Sunday June 12, at Alameda. The day begins at 7:30 AM with registration, teching of cars, and then a driver’s meeting at 8:15. Students will then walk the course with their morning instructors. After that, students will be driving on skidpads in order to learn the feel of an oversteering and an understeering car. It is a lot of fun!! The day will proceed with students running the Autocross course with their instructors, while half of the students learn to work the course. As in the past, Mr. Larry Sharp, who is a world famous course designer, will make up the course for this year’s event.
Registration is open on MotorsportReg. Sign up now because space is limited to 57 students.
