Anyone interested in going to ILR Car Control School? From what I've heard and read, it is basically a track oriented driving school (not really a "racing" school") to teach you the proper basics to handle your car properly.

I am interested in getting my car onto the track and I think this is a perfect way to start it off. Everyone knows how to drive...but does everyone know how to drive "properly"? Well, I'll be the first to admit that I don't.

If we get a group together, maybe we can get together and get a group rate.

Let me know what you guys think.

if it's not the performance driving school, it doesn't seem (for me) to be of much use as the course for advanced driving will probably only focus on defensive driving techniques and accident avoidance via car control...neither of which are all that useful for track driving unless there is a spin out ahead of you that you need to avoid.

 

[FrostQ]

The $300 course sounds interesting, where is this place exactly?

mosport big track?

 

[DeEmEn]

oh I am interested!!! but no money T_T But if the group deal can get lower price, then I will go~! and yeah... mosport big track?

 

[FrostQ]

I have no idea how to approach this...but if I get enough interest to make it worthwhile, I will contact them and look into setting up a group deal.

Please post up if you are interested...

 

[purplemonkeydishwasher]

I am very interested.

 

[FrostQ]

I read more in depth about it and it seems like the "Track School" is more appropriate for us.

ILR Car Control School Track School

The listed price is $395 plus HST includes lunch, handbook and certificate.

I have already emailed ILR to see what is required to have a group together.

You guys should look into BMW club schools. HPDE's are open to everyone, not just BMW's. You get an instructor to ride shotgun every session and in class sessions to get the theory down too.


The ILR does look good though.

The local BMW club is having a 2 day school in June or July at Calabogie. I can't register for it but if anyone's interested, I can forward a link.

 

[DeEmEn]

I heard about that one.

 

[purplemonkeydishwasher]

can this group be for anyone or just civics? I have an S2000 and a buddy of mine would be interested but he drives a cobalt SS.

Also, he'd be interested in attending but the cost is a big factor and it would have to be after june.

 

[FrostQ]

I think cost is a big factor for everyone...so we'll wait and see what kind of discount we will be eligible for.

I think that it will be best if this group is open to everyone. I don't think there will be enough interests if we just do civics only. Besides, how else can we show that the civics are far superior if we have nothing to compete against? I kid...I kid...

Ian replied to my email.

He suggested that we take the Advanced Autoslalom as it is an excellent introduction to performance driving. Depending on the number of members who wish to take the course, we can either join another group or set up our very own exclusive group.

If we have between 6-10 people, it may be best to join another group.
If we have between 11-20 people, we can have our own exclusive group.

The number of members will determine how much of a discount we can get.


They also offer a package deal for both the Advanced Autoslalom and Track School. The Track School is the next logical step after the Adv. Autoslalom.

I've been to Ian Law Car Control School... mind you, it was close to 10yrs ago.

It was a great experience. I did the basic what you call defensive program. I highly recommened it.

 

[akatsuki...]

dont drive a civic.. but would be interested in joining if there's a group with discount rate..

 

[FrostQ]

We don't have enough interests on this site. I'll keep this open for now...please spread the word.

 

[carjoe]

How many do you have on this site? $300 and it's at Mosport?
Pretty good deal if you ask me. I'd be interested in this.
