Three Day Racing School
Our 3-Day course offers over 8hrs of track time in the Radical SR1!
The 3-day course is our premier program where you will gain a comprehensive insight into professional race car driving. We provide thorough classroom theory, advanced driving techniques, and meticulous instruction, which ultimately results in driving our Radical race cars at their limits. This program is SCCA accredited and after completion, you will have the opportunity to be approved for a novice license.
Day 1 - We focus on racing fundamentals including oversteer, understeer, and braking. In addition to applying these skills on the autocross course, ice hill, and skidpad, we also introduce you to the Radical SR1s and the race track. Our goal is for you to become comfortable with the car and learn the layout of the track. You will be able to apply your knowledge in a safe and fun environment.
Day 2 - We teach the importance of track walks and talk about different racing lines and ideal passing zones. We do close-proximity training with a guided passing exercise as well as our side by side exercise. We then jump into open lapping giving you real freedom for the first time. You will begin to put everything you've learned into practice along with track etiquette and flags. Our instructors will review video from your onboard camera and give you input on what to improve on for your next session.
Day 3 - We complete your final day of training with a more intensive focus on the track. Our goal for this day is for you to develop your skills to give you the confidence to drive competitively on the track. We teach the basics of racecraft and you begin to learn how a racer needs to think and adapt on track. We spend the morning hours open lapping with our instructors reviewing your onboard video. As a final test we perform real race starts and restarts. This test will give you the opportunity to train for what it feels like to take a green flag with other cars. You will feel the butterflies as you go double file and you must learn to control your nerves to stay cool, calm, and collective to be ready to see that green flag.
Upcoming Dates
The Radical SR1
Get behind the wheel of one of the most exciting entry level race cars on the planet – the all new Radical SR1 - capable of 0-60mph in a Ferrari FF-beating 3.6 seconds. Newly relaunched in 2017, the Generation 2 SR1 has been substantially revised with dramatic new styling, improved aerodynamics and updated electronics.
Powered by a 185bhp 1.3-litre Suzuki engine, mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox, this racing machine leaves its competitors on the starting grid. With exceptional cornering capability, the aerodynamics mean the SR1 gets pushed down into the asphalt at high speeds, and can pull 2.3g through fast bends - more than twice the handling capability of the Lamborghini Aventador.
0 TO 60 - 3.5 SECONDS
TOP SPEED - 138 MPH
POWER - 324 BHP/TON

We offer gift certificates for all courses. We issue a gift certificate that entitles the holder to take advantage of the certificate for a period of one year from the date of issuance.
Are there any requirements for me to attend?
You must be at least 16 years of age, in good physical condition, hold a valid non-restricted driver’s license, have at least six months driving experience, meet our minimum or maximum size requirements, a d understand how to operate a manual transmission. You will also be required to sign all Primal Racing waivers and releases. Minors must have a parental waiver to attend the School.
Do I need to be able to drive with a manual gear shift?
Yes. You need to have some experience and understanding of how to operate a clutch pedal and paddle shifters. Once the Radical SR1 is rolling you no longer need it to use the clutch pedal to switch gears because the Radical SR1 has a sequential gearbox allowing for simple upshifts and downshifts on track.
What happens if I damage a car?
While accidents are very rare, they can happen. If you are involved in an accident, you will be responsible for all costs to have the damage repaired.
To limit your risk, we’ve adopted an insurance program to alleviate any potential financial burden that is available as part of the booking process.
Please wear comfortable clothes, closed shoes and bear in mind that you will be wearing a race suit over the top of these clothes for part of the course. Most of our students wear shorts, t-shirts, tennis shoes, and sunglasses. You may want to bring jeans, sweatpants, a jacket and a sweatshirt during the winter months. If you wish purchase driving shoes and other accessories; they can be purchased on the day from our partner Discovery Parts which is located just by the school.
We provide helmets and race suits when required. If you have your own helmet that has a Snell rating of SA2015 or newer you can use it. You also need to have the proper HANS post anchors for the HANS neck device.

Absolutely! Friends and family are welcome to watch at various locations throughout the venue, take pictures or video, and enjoy the facilities.
