Has anyone done the Jim Russell Racing School

JC919 · 12-02-2010, 04:59 PM

Like the title says, I'm wondering if anyone here has done this school at Infineon? I'm considering the 3day School of Racing.

Next year I'm starting a rotation where I will have every other month off until the summer, therefore I need to get a racing school under my belt as I intend to go wheel to wheel racing in the future when I have a larger budget to play with. This school is the one I'm most serious about b/c I can ship my car out there and hit up some great coastal roads as well as indulge my other passion...wine.

It's either this or Tim O'Neill Rally School in New Hampshire, but I think I could turn a California trip into something better. Maybe even get my M3 out on Laguna Seca.

Thanks in advance, John

O'neil rally school was INSANE. I have done Skip Barber at Road Atlanta and Barber Motorsports Park - and 10/10 times I would rather go back to O'neil.

This year I want to try out the new Fiesta program

Russell is top notch. I did it when they were still at Donnington so haven't been to Sears Point for the school. But judging by the way they ran the program in England I would highly recommend it (better than Skippy.)

Rally school sounds cool. Need to put that on the Christmas list...
