Advanced Two Day - $3500
The Advanced Two-Day Racing School bridges the gap from the 3-Day Racing School to the Race Weekends. Upon graduation, the Advanced Two-Day Racing School can qualify you to practice and race.

Lapping Session - $1350
As with any sport, the only way to improve your racing skills is with “seat time”. Lapping provides multiple track sessions, approximately 100 miles of track time and feedback from coaches to help drivers build their skills or learn new tracks. Laps are not timed and passing is restricted to specified zones.

Advanced Car Control Clinic - $1300
Helpful for drivers with solid basic skills who want, or need, to learn how to explore the limits of the car without going over “the edge”. This program is conducted on a skid pad and autocross course under controlled conditions, and utilizes Mazda RX-8’s, Mazda 3’s and FSB racecars. The curriculum is designed to teach a driver how to deliberately slide and drift the car as well as how to control these situations. This is done first in the RX-8’s and Mazda 3’s with the instructor sitting alongside of you, giving you instant feedback. Then you move in to the FSB and continue to hone the skills that you have learned.

Lead Follow Lapping - $1600 per session
You get your own personal coach for the day, and you’re both in your own racecar. Follow the coach nose-to-tail on the racetrack, and learn precisely where to brake, turn in, apex and track out. Guaranteed to take big chunks off your lap times. Approximately 40-50 miles of track time and individual feedback from your own personal coach. Also includes in car radio feedback during the session.

Practice Sessions - $1500
Practice is available the day prior to a race weekend. These sessions are made available to drivers who are participating in the race weekend or to other experienced drivers (on a space available basis). Practice includes two 30-minute timed sessions, with open passing permitted and feedback from coaches to help drivers continue to build their skills Drivers receive a copy of their individual lap times at the conclusion of their session. Drivers are occasionally required to flag one or two sessions as per Section 7 in this rulebook.

Qualifying – Included in Race Weekend
Qualifying sessions are conducted each race weekend to determine the grid for the first set of races (Race 1). Qualifying typically consists of one 18-20 minute timed session with open passing permitted. Time sheets and driver evaluations will be made available following each session. See Section 5, rule 5.1 for Qualifying procedures.

Race Series Weekends - $3500
Skip Barber Racing coaches act as observers at all racing activities and offer driver evaluations, of nearly every corner, after each session. This is one primary way our Race Series differs from all other types of racing. Drivers continually develop their skills in a very competitive racing program, yet at the same time benefit from expert coaching.
