Your High-Performance Pathway to the Exciting World of Motorsports
The Podium Club Racing Academy (PCRA) is your fast lane into the exciting world of motorsports. Our comprehensive 1-Day and 2-Day Road Racing programs are designed for drivers of all skill levels—from novices looking for their first introduction to the track, to intermediate and advanced drivers seeking to refine their performance.
PCRA is more than learning how to drive fast. It is a fun, transformative experience where students develop the ability to harmonize their physical inputs with the dynamics of a high-performance vehicle.
​
The academy focuses on the techniques and proven methods used by professional race drivers. Through a combination of concise classroom instruction and extensive on-track sessions, students practice these techniques repeatedly until they can execute them smoothly, consistently, and confidently. Training includes instructor ride-alongs, lead-and-follow exercises, and supervised open track sessions.
​
No matter the class, PCRA students learn the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics, car control, racing line optimization, braking techniques, and performance driving strategy, building the foundation necessary for safe and confident high-performance driving.
Private Coaching
The PCRA also offers private, one-on-one coaching for new drivers and current veteran racers interested in elevating their game. Using their own race vehicles, students hit the track with their PCRA instructor who will continue to gauge the students’ performances during their track sessions. At the start of the day, and after a thorough discussion with students, determining their goals, the PCRA instructor team formulates the best exercise path to reach those goals.
These could include one-on-one lead & follow sessions, close quarter/side-by-side driving, alternate driving/racing lines, threshold braking exercises on track, passing exercises, race scenario role playing, data acquisition, and video feedback. All combined to provide the tools needed to achieve maximum results.
The PCRA private coaching programs for racers of the RUSH SR, FC/F2000 and FE2 formula car categories are very popular, whether it be one-on-one or with friends/team mates.
