WHAT IS HPDE?
Our program is called HPDE for a reason - we do not host races, and events are not timed. We provide High Performance Driver's Education which means we are focused on learning, safety and fun.
In the HPDE program, drivers are grouped according to his or her individual driving experience level.
Passing is only permitted with point-by signals in designated areas.
Drivers use their own vehicle to drive on track; rental vehicles are not available.
HPDE is for everyone - performance driving or race experience is not required! This is a great opportunity to learn the dynamics of your car; which can prove useful on the street or on the track. Most importantly, we promise you will have a ton of fun! Instructors are available for those that are just beginning.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
We are planning to run PittRace's full course.
