Training With Simraceway PDC
Our drivers just completed the second round of training with the Simraceway PDC in the Sprint Karts. A huge thank you to all the staff who made it happen, including Paul Charsley, Head of Programs, and our instructor Jared Thompson!
Over the course of two intense days, our drivers learned how to properly handle the karts around the kart track at Infineon Raceway. The first day started with the basics of the racing line, which was then put into practice by following the instructor around the track.
