Whether learning the basics of high performance driving or improving your driving skill, the CF Academy has both individual and group programs to suit you. We provide private driving instruction for every driving level, from beginners never before on a racetrack, aspiring new racers who want to improve their skills, to the seasoned driver looking to improve lap times. Our instructors are professional, highly skilled instructors.
Personal Driving Instruction
If preferring one-on-one personalized training involving you, a personal professional instructor and the full driving circuit, then CF’s personal driving instruction may be for you. Personal driving instruction can be scheduled for various days and times. Instruction can involve using your car or a CF sports or race car.
Our lead pro instructor will customize a program to suit your individual goals. Whether improving the basics such as heel-toe shifting, cornering and car control, or simply working to improve lap times, this individualized program will be specific to your goals.

Group Programs
Group programs include a combination of classroom instruction, car control exercises and open lapping. Our half-day introductory course, Intro to Racetrack Driving 101 is taught throughout the year and teaches the fundamentals of high-performance driving to those without prior formal racetrack driving instruction. Using your own sports car or one of CF’s Mazda MX-5 GT’s, this 4-hour introductory course is taught by pro driving instructor and racer, Adam Ricardel. You’ll learn basic techniques and methods in the classroom, followed by practice on the track in lead/follow format. It will raise your confidence and comfortability on a racetrack. Students also have the option of participating in a 4-hour open lapping session to practice the techniques just learned.
Class size is capped at 12 students for maximum learning. This half-day course is only $495 (with your own car) including lunch and helmet rental, or $895 if opting to drive one of CF’s 2025 Mazda MX-5 GT’s. See available course dates and REGISTER by clicking the button below.
