High Performance Driving School at Pacific Raceways

How do I prepare my car for the track events, especially HPDE? Car preparation is all about safety. You need to have your car inspected by a certified shop. The forms can be found on the website with suggested shops that specialize in BMWs and track inspection. High performance driving does involved heavy braking at times and puts strain on suspension and wear on tires. You need to ensure that your tires are in good shape. Consider purchasing a good tire pressure gauge and monitor the pressure of your tires during the day. You will be amazed at how much the pressure increases as the tires heat (remember your physics lectures?). * Driver preparation is as important as car preparation. Read as much as you can from a local driving coach, such as Ross Bentley. Make sure your helmet is up to date. Helmets are not required for CCC, but are for HPDE. * So, let’s get the car and driver ready for the coming season. Your instructors are ready to provide the coaching you want to become a performance driver. Who knows, maybe one day you will be wearing a yellow shirt and sitting in the right seat! See you on the track!
