Just got a new S2000 and am looking for a performance driving school. I live in Virginia right now and TrackTime has the most convenient class, complete w/ Z3 rental. Any ideas on performance schools, especially TrackTime's? I'm moving to WA in July.
Thanks

I did one a few years ago and it was my first track driving school. They put on a good school, but it's too expensive for me now that I'm hooked (I need a cheaper speed fix ). I think that it's a good school for a first timer because your day is 30 minutes in the classroom and then 30 minutes on the track with an instructor. You learn a lot of stuff. If you can swing it, do the 2-day class. Also, if you're scared of using your own car, they're one of the only places I could find that had rental cars you could use (although I ended up using my own car). I can understand the first time you go you might want to rent one of their cars, but if you ever take another driving school you have to use your S2000! We have a car that's made for the track and is a blast to drive on one.

One thing to note is that if I'm not mistaken, Virginia International Raceway won't let a non-rollcage S2000 run on their track. So, you might have to rent one of Track Time's Z3s if you want to go to VIR.

I live in the midwest, so I don't know of many schools on the east coast, but you can try some of these links:
