Driver Classification

While we are asking the drivers to self classify, it is for informational purposes only. The event organizers reserve, the right at any time, including during the event, to place each driver in what they consider the appropriate group, either higher or lower. If you have participated at many events and multiple tracks but not this track please register in the B group.

A – Advanced

A seasoned assertive driver that has attended many events, several at this track, and multiple other tracks. Comfortable passing and being passed at high speeds. Knows the track line and consistently hits all turn ins, apexes, and turnouts, is very smooth on all brake, throttle and steering inputs. Demonstrates a clear understanding of car balance and weight transfer through complex corners. Has the ability to correct any driving errors without a serious incident. Exhibits excellent situational awareness and is safe and courteous at all times. May be an instructor.
