01Course description
The objective. The work. The standard.
Competition Licensing I translates track-driving skill into competition conduct. Students learn flag systems, pit and grid procedures, communication expectations, passing protocols, and the predictable decision-making required when sharing the circuit with drivers operating to a common rule set.
On-track exercises focus on awareness, line discipline, controlled off-line driving, safe passing cooperation, and incident avoidance. This is preparation for sanctioned competition—not a licensing event, and completion does not confer a competition license.
