Training Timeline

Classroom Instruction (6 hrs.)

Understanding “Driving” from a technical standpoint:

The combination of classroom instruction and immediate application on the track supports both a working knowledge of a vehicle’s capabilities and physical application techniques.
The classroom portion of this training examines forces which act upon a vehicle (friction, momentum and acceleration), and how acceleration and cornering affect it, as well as what the driver can, or cannot, do to minimize the effects of those forces.

Topics included in this analysis:
- Preventative Maintenance
- Troubleshooting small vehicle problems
- Vehicle Physics
- Vehicle Function
- The Detail Vehicle
After this discussion, you will understand vehicle and driver performance factors, including mechanical and physical limitations for evasive maneuvers, and what you can do to enhance both.
