Advanced techniques for racing with a manual transmission
This training is designed for advanced racing drivers or those who have completed Motorsport Manual to learn additional tricks, improve their racing style, and most importantly, learn or prefect their sequential transmission driving.
The curriculum is based on our extensive experience in motorsports. We've identified the approach and progression that guarantees the highest success rate and speed of learning.
Training is one-on-one in your own car or Race Lab's car on either a tarmac track/skidpad or a dirt track/skidpad, depending on what kind of racing you are training for. If you are unsure about what options to pick, please contact us and we will gladly help you out!
On a tarmac track and skidpad a valid driver's license is required.
On Race Lab's dirt track and skidpad you DO NOT need a driver's license.
The Curriculum
This is arguably the most difficult transmission to use
Learn not only how to operate, but also the complex setup tricks, for example the special shifter throw for an H-pattern dog box.
Racing with non-synchronous (straight cut gears) five and six speed sequential transmissions including wheel spin management
Understanding the risks of over revving and terminally damaging engines through improper use of downshifts with motorsport transmissions
Pneumatic gear shifting mechanism (motorsport paddle shift)
And so much more!
How it Works
After you complete the purchase, we will reach out to you to discuss your current driving level, your goals, and what location and date is convenient for you. Based on the information you provide and our curriculum, we will put together and send you a custom training plan.
*Please note: IF YOU CHOOSE TO TRAIN ON A TARMAC TRACK, the cost of the track is NOT INCLUDED in the total you pay to Race Lab. You will have to pay for a track day pass separately depending on the track that you choose to train at. The track chosen will depend on your car, skills, and driving goals. All of this will be discussed on the consultation call.
The training will be 2 hours of one-on-one private coaching with the instructor. Depending on your skill level and progression during the training, the instructor will adjust the curriculum if needed.
