Seat Time

So I've received a couple of very good questions regarding actual seat time at this school.

This is NOT a standard autocross event. Normal PITL events give you 4-5 runs in a day with the run being around a minute or so. Which means like 4-7 minutes of actual driving time with the rest watching and waiting.

This is vastly different.

We are aiming to have 5 of the 8 hours on site to be spent on the course. We will likely split the track into two sections with each section working on a specific drill again and again and again. I can't really give a good number on actual total driving time but this will definitely be more than what PITL gives you in an entire day.

Keep in mind:
3 hours of drills
2 hours of autocross style competition.

Both of these activities will be styled so that you line up, run, rejoin the lineup again. I expect actual driving time to be at least an hour if not more. The reason I say driving time is because after your run, the instructors (like myself) will break down your run with you and discuss what you are doing right, could improve on and try to gain insight into your behaviours to set a new bar for you improve to and off you go again to immediately apply.

Hope that helps explain the plan.
