Formula 2000 Racing
- Real formula 2000 racecar, 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds!
- Hit speeds of up to 130 mph, pull up to 2 G's in the corners and stop on a dime
- Started by a Professional Formula One driver, this school has been teaching students for over 30 years
- Fully certified as an Authorized Competition Licensing School by the Sports Car Club of America.
Description:
Suit up and strap in behind the wheel of a Formula 2000 racecar! There are no speed limits, no on-coming traffic, just you and a racecar that handles better than anything you have ever driven.
Your day starts with classroom instruction on what it takes to control a racecar on the track when driving at speeds up to 130 mph! Next you'll have a live demonstration and practice in a Volvo sedan.
The last bit of preparation involves a short introduction to the racecars, review of the safety flags, and a short discussion about racing etiquette.
Then, after getting dressed in the same style of racing suit worn by the pros and fitted for a full-face helmet, it's off to the races!
