What is Performance Driving?
When you think of performance driving, the first thing that usually comes to mind is speed. However, any seasoned race car driver will tell you that the ability to drive fast is just one of many vital skills you will need to be successful. You also need to be exceedingly proficient in braking, steering, situational awareness, shifting (manual transmissions, paddle shifters and D.C.T.), car control and above all else—knowing what your specific vehicle is capable of. The last area might be the most important. When you are able to do all these things in concert, like a symphony, your daily driving will become unforgettable.
I sincerely want to pass down what I have learned through my professional driving and wide range of personal experiences so that you can unlock your own true potential. Remember, it’s not all about speed. The word “performance” has multiple facets and we will get the thrill out of conquering these aspects together.
Have you ever wondered what your car was capable of? You’re about to find out!
Whether you are lucky enough to be driving a Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche—or whatever your personal vehicle might be—I want you to feel the intoxicating rush of unbridled adrenaline and safely push the limits of what’s possible.
“my course is TAILORED TO YOU AND YOUR VEHICLE”
This is not merely a “driving experience” where you spend a lot of money to sit behind the wheel of an exotic sports car, or in the passenger seat of a real race car, knocking out a couple of hot laps on a track with a professional instructor and have an awesome story to tell family and friends. Sure, what’s not to love about putting on a helmet, suiting up in the proper race gear, and feeling like you’ve somehow transcended into another reality? It’s fun, exciting, thrilling, and you actually do learn a few valuable things along the way (not to mention an increased heart rate). However, life doesn’t take place on a racetrack and you don’t get to take home the race car with you afterwards. The experience eventually fades into a fond memory that you cherish.
With Chicane Performance Driving, you’ll be unlocking not only your personal vehicle’s true potential, but will also come away knowing you are a better, more focused driver. You’ll get to experience the thrill of driving everyday—not just on a track for an afternoon of pure adrenaline. The key is learning all the aspects of performance driving and slowly increasing the speed at which those elements are performed.
You will get personalized one-on-one instruction with me for three hours. I will meticulously tailor the entire experience to you and your specific vehicle. You and your safety are my primary focus.
Chicane is a well-known racing term that accurately describes a series of snake-like corners that can be challenging even for the most seasoned racing professional. There are varying types of chicanes, and if managed correctly, could give the driver a much-needed edge over the competition. The word represents driving to the highest level of performance.
