FULL Day Car Control Clinic - $1300/1500

The Full Day Car Control Clinic is the next step up from our half-day program. This program is about learning to utilize and control tire slip to improve lap times, a technique often called “rotation”. When driving at the absolute limit, it's inevitable that sometimes the tires will be pushed too far and the car will go from floating through a turn with just a bit of rotation, to drifting into a big-angle slide. This program also teaches how to catch these big slides without going off-line or even losing much speed. Putting these two skills together will result in a much faster and more confident driver, who is able to push any car harder without fear of slipping or going off track.

Designed to accommodate drivers of any skill level, this class takes the techniques to a higher level than the Half Day and offers more time to practice and develop the much-needed muscle memory to perform these skid pad techniques like a pro. Due to the very small class size and the format of the lessons, each driver can advance at their own pace regardless of the level of the other drivers.

• Small class sizes, plus much more drive time with instructors

• Understeer mitigation

• Oversteer recovery, big and small slides

• Drifting techniques

• Trail braking

• …and more!

• Short course to combine skills together

• Learn in your own car

• Rental car available

• Customizable: What would you like to learn?

FULL Track Training day - $3200/3500

The Full Track Training Day is the Top Tier program we offer. This is the opportunity to take FastSideways instruction full-scale, and directly apply what we teach to a full open racetrack in a safe and controlled way. With both the track and the skid pad at our disposal, we transition between low speed exercises and high speed application throughout the day. This class will train you to drive not with preconceived notions of what the car can or can’t do, but by feel and intuition: keeping all four tires right at their limit of grip, no matter what that limit is. There is no other program anywhere with the level of detail and effectiveness offered here.

• 4 students, 4 instructors, 100% one-on-one time

• Beginner and advanced skid pad exercises

• Breaking down the track into individual full-scale exercises

• Full lapping sessions with different tires/grip levels

• Constant right-seat instruction
