The Ultimate Autocross Learning Experience

SoloPro Driving School provides three distinct class offerings falling under two main categories.  Two of these classes, the Intro and Comp, are designed to build a rock solid foundation and are considered part of our Foundation Series.  Those new to the sport will learn the proper techniques from square one while more experienced drivers will benefit by reinforcing proper technique and/or unlearning bad habits.  These two classes are designed to be taken back-to-back in one short weekend but one may opt to take only one class per weekend if so desired.

The third class offering, a component of our Pro Series, is the Extreme.  The Extreme (see details below) is an advanced school for those drivers having a strong driving background and are looking to shave those last few tenths off their times.

Foundation Series

Intro (1 day)

The basic fundamentals are addressed in the Intro class.  This class is specially designed to cover the most important components of sound autocrossing techniques and strategies.  All students will receive personal instruction from the opening bell until the last lap of the day. Covered in the Intro class are:

• course walking strategies
• timed runs*
• ergonomic considerations
• driving mechanics - the hands, feet, and head
• an introduction to the psychology of driving and other human factors

Whether you are a first time driver or a seasoned veteran, working on the fundamentals of driving is critical to success. The Intro class is arguably the most important class in our line-up.

Comp (1 day)

The Comp class dovetails with the Intro course as it re-emphasizes the basic fundamentals learned in the Intro course while introducing some strategies which will take your driving to the next plateau. Now that you have begun developing sound fundamentals after experiencing the Intro class, you're ready to start pushing yourself and begin honing your competition skills.  

• Reinforce basic fundamentals
• Multiple course configurations
• Begin pushing the limits of you and your car 
• Advanced driving techniques and strategies
• Advanced psychological/mental concepts and strategies
• Learn to compete - competition preparation

Note: Some Comp classes may have on-board Race Technology AX-22 data acquisition computers available for rent if one would like to capture the day's runs for subsequent analysis. Contact us or check with the host of the school for details.

Pro Series

Extreme (2 days)

The Extreme class was originally developed several years ago and has since been attracting experienced autocrossers such as National Champions, regional champions, and other experienced drivers looking to squeeze out those last few tenths.  The Extreme is geared toward the advanced student who is willing to put forth the extra effort to reach his or her goals.  The features of the class include:

• Two days of intense instruction
• Advanced concepts explained in easy-to-understand terms 
• Multiple course configurations
• 2-lap format
• Daily data analysis sessions w/segment times
• Determine specific weaknesses and strengths
• Understand and learn how to maximize the cars potential
• Multiple data collection sessions* (AX-22 performance computers)**

            *Weather conditions permitting 

           **Note: Cars must have a working 12V cigarette lighter power port.

A multi-lap, multi-day format will give each student the most seat time available at any professional autocross school available.  In addition to loads of high quality seat time and instruction, two analysis sessions will be incorporated where the student may view segment times, braking and acceleration areas, and a detailed analysis of what you're doing well, and what may need some polishing.  If you're ready for some serious fun, a ton of seat time, and some quantitative analysis of your driving, the Extreme is for you!
