The Fastlane Racing Drivers School course runs for one day and is completed in late model Formula Ford racing cars.

The morning session is all about becoming familiar with the 110 horsepower single seat Formula Ford racing cars. A theory session is held where important concepts such as gear changing, braking points and racing lines are thoroughly discussed. After this, the participants are taken around the circuit in a road car to get an idea of the track and learn the corners before getting behind the wheel.

The first ‘in-car’ session involves touring around the track at a moderate pace behind a pace car. This allows participants to properly understand the racing line and get used to the ‘heel-and-toe’ gear shifting procedure.

Following the pace car session is free practice; a time during which the participants can complete laps and hone their skills without the pressure of the stopwatch. After these 10 laps, it's time for lunch.

After lunch it’s time for qualifying. Participants pit their skills against the watch during the 10 lap session while their 'pit crew' hold out a pit board displaying your lap times.

After qualifying it’s time to race. Each participant has another ten laps to better their previous results. The fastest eight laps are averaged to give drivers a race time, through which final results are decided. Just like a real race, a spin puts a driver out of the race.

The day ends with a presentation and well deserved drinks. Each participant leaves having had the thrill of a lifetime, and the perfect basis for applying for a racing license and kick-starting a career in motor sport. Total cost for the day is $725.00 all inclusive. A deposit of $150.00 is required when making a booking with the balance paid on the day of the booking.

Schools coming up:  Mar 29, April 22 & May 31
