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.
