I would really like to attend this school, but I'll be in Montreal for the Canadian GP.
Will there be another session before winter?

A lot of people get the wrong idea that you need a "race prepped car" to do this stuff, but you don't. This is about getting driving skills, which is way more important (and fun) than any performance part. Having car control skills will pay off when you have to do an emergency on the street or have a hairy rain experience.

This is a driver skills/autocross school, which means below highway speeds and as safe as this stuff gets. The rollbar thing usually only applies to running at the track with convertibles, and that has more to do with insurance issues with event organizers. A stock hardtop car is fine with most any performance school.

MCO only runs one "autocross" school a year. We've been doing them before the autocross season starts up to get newbies going or for people to have some seat time to shake off the winter rust.

ok guys...I really want to experience this MCO event! Since i bought my S ive told myself that i would try this! seeing you guys talk about it every summer!

It all depends on my girlfriend! she's lives in MTL and she's a big fan of the GP and never misses one! Ill ask her if i can attend the MCO event since its only once a year!

This might take me couple of days but i might catch some luck!

thanks for the great info BTW!
