Have you ever wanted to learn how to drive a race car, but could never afford to do it for real? Here is your opportunity to have a virtual experience of that dream.
The day will begin with a classroom session about the science and art of performance driving, followed by familiarization with the triple-screen, force feedback simulator using the iRacing software.
You will be registered with your own iRacing account and will be introduced to the Mazda MX-5 Cup car with a minimum of 3 hours of track time ahead of you. The goal is to get you into wheel-to-wheel racing before the day is done!
The day will progress with 20-30 minute private on-track sessions with coaching and demonstrations throughout. Refreshments will be provided to keep your energy up. Once you are confident with the car and the track, you’ll enter online practice sessions with other cars (with real human beings driving them) to compare your performance with other drivers. And once you feel comfortable with driving in that setting, you’ll enter online 10-minute races against other drivers of similar skill for the closest thing to real racing you can have without actually getting into a real car on a real track!
Booking your virtual track day is easy: contact Derwyn Costinak at derwyn.costinak@gmail.com and work out a convenient day and time. Setting aside a 5-hour block in the day will guarantee the 3 hours of track time with room for breaks, coaching, and food. And if you’re having tons of fun and want to keep going, extending your time is not a problem (schedule permitting). You can even try out other cars and tracks in solo practice sessions…
