How does the Car Sharing work? If my dad and I both register and bring our own cars, can we swap or do we have to each pay the extra $50?

Thanks for the question!

If you and your dad both register, you may drive each other's car in the same run group (example: Novice) for free.

The $50 car sharing fee is for 2 registered drivers sharing 1 car (in the same run group).

Hope this clarifies things. If not, please ask away!

Sounds good! It would be interesting comparing his Fiesta ST to my BRZ back to back.

Please take a look at the cool data at the bottom of our video page: http://gpstracktime.com/videos/

That'd be a great way to capture speeds and time per lap and track segments!

Does that price come with an instructor for newbies like me? What's a good course for a track newbie? I've done many autocross events, but I want to try tracking this year.

Yes, as a first "timer", you will have a dedicated instructor with you the entire day; all scheduled six-20 minute lap sessions. This is INCLUDED in the price.

It will also be possible, to drive on your own, if the instructor signs you off when he/she believes you are ready. But this is obviously only if you are comfortable with it.

There will also be classroom sessions taught by our chief instructor throughout the day too.

In my opinion, the north circuit is the perfect beginners track. It features a relatively simple layout:



Thanks for asking and please let me know if you have more!

PS. Passing is only allowed on the straights (between 5-6, 6-7 and 9-1) with a point by.
