Anyone participating in the Jaguar performance academy tomorrow at Homestead motor speedway?


pic related is me

 

No,but I'm thinking about doing the Level One class at Sonoma in February...

 

I'll be there for the morning session. Glad to know a fellow member will be there.

 

I can see my old condo in the background of that picture.

 

Afternoon session for me, maybe I'll catch you in between groups.

 

Oddly,I received another academy brochure in the mail today...

Judging from your statements it sounds like you're both doing Level 1,correct?
I'll be real interested in hearing your comments,we have a great driving program right here at Laguna but the thought of driving the F-Type really interests me.

 

Morning session Friday. Level 2 Saturday

 

Has anybody actually been to a level 1 to give a report? I have a feeling it won't be much "seat" time, probably a lot of class room instruction and drills? But should be fun nonetheless. guessing level 2+ will be where they actually let you track the car more?

 

I'm guessing you're right T...I talked to both Roberto Guerrero and Davy Jones at Laguna during the Reunion and I don't think you really get much track time in your half-day Level 1 session.

 

Actually it's very little classroom time. Mostly hard driving with instructions over the radio or with in car instructor. You drive a lot of laps in every model.
You drive R models of XJ XF XK and F.
You drive road course, autocross track, and loop.
Absolute blast

 

Good to hear!

 

You thinking about doing the one here in Sonoma...?

 

I'm doing the one in February. No brainer for me since Jaguar gave R buyers compliment level 1 day. I've tracked Thunderhill and Laguna Seca, but have always been scared to do Sonoma because there are a lot of walls and not too much run-off away. So this is perfect, will be in someone else's car

 

I'll be attending Sonoma 8am I think on Thurs Feb 19th. Hope to see some of you there. It wasn't free for me, being an S not an R so hope it's good value!

 

I think it will be...I'll be doing either Tuesday or Thursday's Level 1 class if I decide to go...and I'm leaning that way.

 

I'll be @ Sonoma at the Tues session in the AM. I just checked and all the classes are full in Sonoma, if you haven't already registered.

 

You are correct...I spoke with a rep today and put my name on the waiting list,she told me they generally see some movement (cancellations) about 2-3 weeks prior so we'll see.

 

Allenman85,

I am definitely interested when they come back to COTA.

When is COTA? I may join that too. I've driven COTA but haven't mastered it.

 

I don't think they have COTA for 2015. Was hoping they would do either Las Vegas or COTA so I could make a mini vacation out of it, but I just saw Sonoma and Homestead.
