The car is your classroom – At the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School, we believe there is no substitute for seat-time. The Corvette ZR1 is one of the most powerful sports cars ever built (zero-to-100mph and back-to-zero in 11 seconds). Quite simply, it’s an awesome machine. And the only way to develop the skill to handle your vehicle’s performance is through driving! Ron has designed a curriculum with a complex and challenging set of exercises to help you accomplish the goal of becoming a more confident and knowledgeable performance driver. Ron’s approach to racing and driving has been heavily influenced by Dr. Jacques Dallaire, who has studied racing drivers and high-performance athletes for over 25 years. Mind-speed processing is a key element in the high-performance world and with a strong focus on technique; our program will provide you with step-by-step instruction to better coordinate your eyes, hands and feet to improve your driving skill both on the track and on the street. With our student/instructor ratio and two-way radio communication, feedback is instant, making for a high quality learning environment.
Program Day 1
Braking, Heel & Toe, Skid-car, Lead-Follow Sessions. Begin your day with a ZR1 braking exercise to demonstrate the difference between conventional braking and ABS braking systems though a series of exercises leading up to accident avoidance. You’ll find more stopping power than you’ll ever need with the monster Brembo calipers installed in the ZR1. Next you will move on to proper shifting techniques, including Heel & Toe downshifting. Then it’s on to the Skid-car and Oval exercises on the paddock, which are designed to help you with visual scanning. Using your eyes properly is essential to successful car control. This is the cornerstone of our program philosophy. You will then jump back onto the track for some lead follow sessions with our expert instructors. Cornering instruction follows, and then you’ll be back on the track for some additional lapping sessions to close out the day.
Program Day 2
Shifting, Pendulum Exercises, Lapping. Begin your day with a lesson in vehicle ergonomics followed by a series of multi-task, wet skid-pad exercises designed to be the first steps in a series of maneuvers to help develop your ability to process information quickly and accurately – the most important skill in a high-performance environment. On to the race track where we begin integrating the processing skills learned in the skid pad exercises into the next steps (corner preparation and footwork) to handle the Spring Mountain 2.2 mile road course.
Program Day 3 (optional)
Maximum Track Time with Open Lapping Sessions. It’s all about seat-time, with some serious on-track activities! Your day begins with a warm-up followed by extended lapping sessions on the 2.2 mile road course using our Corvette ZR1’s. Instruction will focus on technique for corner preparation – visual tracking and footwork, balance and coordination. Our team of trained instructors will drive you and ride along, providing continuous feedback as you develop and fine tune all the maneuvers and processing skills learned in the earlier exercises to successfully handle the awesome performance of the Corvette ZR1.
We’ll see you on the track!
