Do we use our own car?
I did the Basic at Road Atlanta and had a blast. Without a doubt a very educational driving experience for the novice. The instructors were top class and made sure you were in control of your limits at all time. Only a few of us get to go home with the prize each year by competing in the autocross.. Highly recommended. Cars of course are provided at all locations.

I think we were at the same COTA event. I was in the beginner course as well, if I recall I was the blue team. I won second place in the slalom if that helps you recall who I was there. You also have a Edition One, I also have one as well.

Yes it was an amazing experience, it got me back into road racing on the track, but I'm not yet ready to take the Edition One on the track. I'll have to take my older car on the track for now
