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. The goal is to allow you to apply your knowledge in a safe and fun environment.
Day 2 - We teach the importance of track walks and learn proper braking techniques. We teach close-proximity with our side by side exercise and do a guided passing exercise. We then jump into open lapping giving you real freedom. We complete our day over at the kart track allowing you to take what you've learned and put it to the test! This includes maximizing the braking zones as well as wheel to wheel racing and passing.
Day 3 - We complete your final day of training with a more intensive focus on the track. We teach 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. We also perform real race starts and restarts to give you an opportunity to train for what it feels like to take a green flag with other cars. We spend more time open lapping in the afternoon. Our goal for this day is for you to develop your skills to give you the confidence to drive competitively on the track.

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, and have at least six months driving experience. 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?
No. The Radical SR1 and other cars we use have sequential gear shifts which we'll train you to use as part of the course.
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 safety equipment and would be more comfortable wearing it, please feel free to bring it.
Can friends or family come and watch?
Absolutely! Friends and family are welcome to watch at various locations throughout the venue, take pictures or video, and enjoy the facilities. They can even potentially participate in public karting if available. All guests are required to sign a waiver and releases on entry to Atlanta Motorsports Park.
