I just got my license and feel uneasy about driving at Motegi.
I have only driven on the short course, and this is my first time driving on an international standard racing course.
"Circuit Driving Lesson" is a driving school designed for those making their circuit debut.
The unique feature is the "section practice" conducted only in this school.
This is a special training method made possible because the school rents out the entire course.
The racing course is divided into three sections for cornering practice. Since each car starts one at a time, you can drive without worrying about others around you. Additionally, there is driving advice using radio communication from the instructor.
Before the interval practice and free driving sessions, there is a lecture by the instructor. In the lecture, you can learn not only tips for driving faster but also important points for driving safely.
Participants are divided into two groups to minimize speed differences among them, and each group drives for two 30-minute sessions. (With timing)
You can ride along in a vehicle driven by an instructor simultaneously with the free driving session.
Experience the racing line, braking points, and more to apply during your free driving.
* If there are many participants, first-timers will be given priority (or selection by lottery).
※The price includes participation fee, facility entrance fee, parking fee, meal fee, time measurement, and insurance fee.
*Starting in 2025, the participation fee will be revised. Thank you for your understanding.
