We'll be looking to get some track time at our local speedway in the next few months, so both of us can learn our way around a mid-engine, rear wheel drive car.

Shortly after my sons got their driver's licenses I sent them to 3-4 day professional drivers schools. One went to Bondurant in AZ where he droves Vipers and formula Mazdas. The other to Jim Russell at Mt Tremblant where he drove Formula Mazdas including the car Lance Stroll learned in. Both learned a lot about driving and car control but perhaps more importantly respect for cars and driving.
