Benefits of the New Track Format |
|
Proven Safe Format: The proven Ferrari Club of America Driving School format enhances driving skills and maximizes enjoyment while maintaining a safe and controlled driving environment. New Helmet-Free, Paced, Introduction to the Track: “Via” The new Via group presents a low impact day of track, and activities. Track time is without helmets, including instructors, classroom orientation, pace car controlled, and safe driving instruction. Via will run three sessions of 20-25 minutes, lunch, and activities. There will be two designated passing zones for this event. A great introduction to fun at the track! The exercises area will be included for 2010 (see below). New Driving School Format: “Scuola”: Dedicated to members interested in participating in our regular performance driving school format. This is open to intermediate to advanced drivers. This is a “helmet only” group with instructors, and three designated passing zones. Scuola will run two 20 minute sessions in the morning and two 30 minute sessions in the afternoon. Two mandatory classroom sessions will be scheduled during the day. This group will be encouraged to participate in the exercises at the skid pad, in the afternoon. New Performance Driving Group: “Piloti”: Dedicated to members interested in participating in longer, instructor-free, driving sessions. This group is selected on the basis of high degree of skill and safety on the track. There are a set of parameters which must be met, in order to qualify attending this group. This group has achieved a high skill level based on an instruction profile developed for Scuola participants. New members must earn an invitation by instructor recommendation and evaluation on the track. This is a helmet, driving suit, and fire extinguisher group. Piloti will run two 25/30 minute sessions in the morning and three 25/30 minute sessions in the afternoon. Members may request instruction in advance, or at the track, but this remains optional. (Members not requesting an instructor, may request one at the track, but will be subject to availability). The Exercise Area: The exercise area will be a mandatory part of the afternoon activities for VIA group. We would like all VIA participants to experience the handling of their cars in a controlled environment with professional supervision. Check it out, and you will be happy you did. You will benefit from feeling the car on the slalom course and at maximum braking. Exercises are optional, but recommended, for the Scuola group. Take advantage of the excellent supervision, and well thought out exercises, on the skid pad. Auto Detailing: We will be welcoming Splashworks back for another season. They have graciously agreed to provide auto detailing demonstrations and service. We are looking forward to learning all about detailing from the experts! There will be demonstrations and samples to try out. Special thanks for their continued support. Expert mechanics will be on-site to provide any technical assistance you may require. Special thanks to Ferrari Maserati of Ontario First Class Instruction: Plenty of qualified instructors will be available to provide individually-tailored instruction and coaching to meet your needs. Lunch-time Touring Session: An opportunity for any FCA member, or participant, to take family members and friends on a relaxed tour of Mosport. Ferrari Maserati of Ontario: We are pleased to have the backing of the dealership for technical support at the track. Photography: Lucas Scarfone (Scarfone Automotive Photography) will be there to provide photographic services to the club. He will be available for anyone wishing to purchase photographic packages of their car.
