But I agree it's a great one-stop shop. And you will learn a lot of good habits and be broken or at least have the bad ones pointed out to you in a real hurry. There's something to be said for immersion

Because the Formula cars are 'real' race cars I think the schools try and get you to drive intuitively and gain instinct. At least that is what I came away with. Learning to drive a slow car fast as they say, either way each student learns at their own pace. Because I am older now I can drive the caged cars all day long. Formula cars kick the ever living shit out of you, and I like soft and cushy...
