Performance Drive School

The Performance Drive School is your opportunity to experience Australia’s premier race circuits while learning the proven techniques used by professional race drivers. This immersive program is designed to develop genuine driving skill—skills that translate seamlessly from the racetrack to everyday driving.

Whether you’re stepping onto a circuit for the first time, a seasoned track-day enthusiast, or an experienced racer looking to refine your technique, the Performance Drive School meets you at your current level and builds from there. Driving faster and more confidently isn’t about bravery—it’s about understanding how a car responds to precise driver inputs. When you learn how to manage grip, balance, and control, speed becomes a natural outcome.

At its core, this program focuses on car control fundamentals. A corner is a corner—whether it’s on a world-class race circuit, a winding country road, or a city street. However, as speeds increase, the body’s natural panic response can interfere with good technique. We teach you how to retrain your reactions—responding with what the car needs, rather than what instinct alone tells you to do. The skills you develop on track will directly improve your confidence, awareness, and safety behind the wheel in all driving environments.

Program Structure

The Performance Drive School is a full-day experience, carefully structured to maximise learning and seat time:

• 5 classroom-based theory sessions, each delivered prior to track sessions

• 5 x 25-minute on-track driving sessions

• A dedicated Drive Coach, with the same coach working with you throughout the day for consistency

• In-car guidance and detailed debriefs after every session

Your Drive Coach works closely with you throughout the day to ensure each concept is clearly understood and correctly applied before progressing to the next stage. This personalised approach ensures consistent improvement, regardless of experience level.

What You’ll Learn

Across the four levels of the Performance Drive School, drivers progressively develop the core skills required for precise, confident, and controlled driving. Key learning areas include:

• Correct throttle application to maintain balance, grip, and stability

• Proper braking techniques, including brake pressure control and timing

• Effective steering techniques that maximise front and rear grip, and steering accuracy

• Advanced visual skills, teaching you where to look, when to look, and how vision directly influences your bodies automatic reactions and vehicle control

These fundamentals form the foundation of all high-level driving. Mastering them allows drivers to improve speed, consistency, and confidence—both on the racetrack and on the road.

Who It’s For

This course is suitable—and highly recommended—for:

• P-plate and provisional drivers

• Everyday road drivers seeking greater confidence and control

• Track-day regulars

• Current and aspiring race drivers

Why It Works

Improvement doesn’t come from simply driving more—it comes from knowledge, understanding, and correct application. The Performance Drive School guides you through every stage of driver development, ensuring lasting improvement in technique, confidence, and control.
