Jim Russell USA: Programs

Programs

Racing Schools

Drivers take racing schools for all sorts of reasons. We’ve designed curriculums for a variety of needs and budgets. Yet, variety does not distort from the singular focus on the art and craft of driving a racecar. Every Jim Russell program begins and ends with the driver getting exactly the experience they came for.

Mitsubishi Driving School

The Lancer Evolution Experience and Highway Survival programs bring the thrill of Mitsubishi’s most exciting road car – the Lancer Evo X – to two programs that focus on improving skill and confidence. The Lancer Evolution Experience caters to the performance-minded enthusiast while Highway Survival tackles the challenges of the open road in a controlled environment.

Karting

The Jim Russell International Karting Center is a one-stop resource for all things karting. A world class track, a complete instructional curriculum, arrive & drive race series plus a pro shop offer karters from 8 years old and up the chance to enjoy this exciting branch of motorsport.

Championship Series

Dollar for dollar, no other junior formula race series in North America delivers more seat time than the Jim Russell Championship Series. Sixteen races over eight weekends with over 2.5 hours of track time plus data debriefs following each one, the cost of US$129,000 including hospitality and evolution program can’t be matched. The 2010 Champion will then be awarded a fully funded season in the 2011 FIA Formula Two Championship.

Instructors

If the race car is at the heart of the program, then the instructors must be the soul. Instructors give your experience context and meaning. And, it’s not about how many years of driving they’ve done or what successes they’ve had on the track; it’s about their ability to communicate in order to diagnose and correct your driving challenges in a way that you understand.
