Take Your Racing to a Higher Degree

RU Fast Enough

Congratulations!

You passed this university's first test, and you haven't even enrolled yet.
You get an ″A+″ for proving your commitment and desire to being a more skilled driver.

Since you found your way here, we already know a lot about you.

You love cars.  You love the track.  Most of all you love racing cars on the track. 
And you're seeking the knowledge and expertise to get even better.

We think you'll find this site different from other performance driving sites on the web.

Here you won't find the posturing and bickering and ego-inflating that so many sites have devolved into.  Or bogus information passed on by some teenager in study hall.

Instead we've modeled this site on the idea of a university.


There is
lots of information on a wide range of subjects from knowledgeable, experienced teachers, instructors and professionals.  Topics like setting up your suspension to starting your first race, basic finances to advanced data analysis.  You can see an overview by clicking on "The Campus" and "Course Catalog" at left.  You must register to actually read individual items in these areas.

Our goal is to bring you the kind of content you can trust.  In fact you'll be able to see the credentials as well as the experience level of every person who posts here.  Just click on the user name of the poster and you'll be able to see his or her background.  Bios of our contributing ″faculty″ members are available on the Faculty page.


Like a university, this is a community that shares knowledge, and treats each other with respect.  Wit is welcome here.  Jerks aren't.

Like your college days, the founders hope you'll learn much.  And just like your college days, have a fair amount of fun, too.

Basic content will be available to anyone who drops by this, our ″campus″.  More advanced knowledge will be available to anyone who enrolls as a member of the university. Like everything else in racing, there is a cost.  But unlike everything else in racing, this cost is small.  Just $25. That buys you wisdom and advice from pro drivers, coaches and experts who have raced in Formula 1, ALMS prototypes and GTs, Indy Lights, GrandAm, and other professional and amateur series, with literally hundreds of wins and podium finishes.  They have decades of experience teaching at the top schools, decades of professional race car design and fabrication, and decades of professional data engineering.

You can browse our curriculum in the 'Course Catalog' section.  Register here Once registered, you can take part in the discussions.  Just like in a classroom, we think you'll find these discussions every bit as educational, enlightening and entertaining as the course material itself. And we welcome new subjects from experienced drivers.  They can be submitted here.

You'll also find links to professional driving instructors, reputable retailers and books for 'further study'

Welcome to Racer University.   At this university, you'll find everyone is graded on the curve.
