WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca Driving School

Date: September 9
Course: WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway

The Golden Gate Chapter is returning to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca! Join your local Golden Gate Chapter and master your craft with our High-Performance Driving School (HPDS). The $750 fee for this event includes in-car instruction and plenty of track time. If you register before May 1, you’ll receive a $50 dollar early-bird discount.

Note: The sound limit for this event is 105 dB! Days with this high a sound limit are very few and far between. This is your chance to drive Laguna Seca as it’s meant to be driven—full throttle all the way up the hill from Turn 5! If you haven’t yet registered for this event because of its original low sound limit, don’t waste any time in taking advantage of this rare opportunity.

Skills-focused Driving

Our focus is on safety and learning. Every student is assigned an in-car instructor for the duration of the event. (Group S drivers are solo, and can opt for data coaching.) Classroom sessions feature presentations and discussions of vehicle dynamics, car control, and corner-by-corner track details.

Our solo program, Group S, is available at a discount for a select group of advanced drivers—$750 for the day. Advanced Data Coaching is also available for an additional $100 for S drivers — your coach works with you in a classroom rather than in your car.

Instructors please note:

The Golden Gate Chapter will not be covering instructor lodging for this event. In lieu of that, we will have a dedicated instructor run group, in addition to being able to drive with S group and/or the advanced students.

Important information about the waiting list:

If sold out, register anyway! You will be waitlisted automatically. We expect to accept a large number of students from the waiting list. We start with a conservative student count, and pull students from the waiting list as more instructors sign up for the event.
