Driving Schools/HPDE

Imagine your engine racing to redline as the speedometer twists toward speeds you’d never even think of driving on public roads. Brake into the turn, look ahead at your exit, and turn in. Your car is the ultimate dance partner, and you’re the choreographer of a perfect day at the track.

Driving your car on a world-class race track is the experience of a lifetime - one most people will never have, but you’ll never forget. We’ve delivered High-Performance Driver Education (HPDE) programs to our members for over 30 years. With a focus on safety, a core of experienced instructors, and unique offerings like Advanced Data Coaching, we have driver development programs other organizations simply can’t provide. If this is your first track event, get ready with a Car Control Clinic and GGC Autocross. For a full list of activities, see our Event Calendar.

  • Safety is always our top priority, the focus of everything we do, and is reflected in how we structure our program. We limit the number of cars on track and group drivers by experience level. We invest heavily in a full complement of on-track safety workers for each event. Our experienced instructors are available for drivers of any level, and tailor their instruction to your skills and developmental goals while fostering event safety.

    We want everyone to enjoy the event and to take their cars home in the same condition as when they arrived. We also want you to go home with an improved awareness of your skills and your car and a lot of track stories to share.

  • Whether you’re a first-time driver or have a few events under your belt, GGC is a great place to start your experience and grow your skills. We’ve developed a top-notch curriculum to teach driving concepts, on-track exercises to apply what you’ve learned, and an experienced instructor who will tailor their coaching to your individual needs.

  • For advanced drivers who want to continue their development, GGC has unique offerings designed with you in mind - Advanced Data Coaching and Group S.

    Advanced Data Coaching (ADC) combines data acquisition equipment and 1-to-1 coaching to measure and analyze your performance. GGC is a pioneer in data-driven coaching, and our program has been in continuous development since 2014. You get objective feedback and goals without the expense of hiring a private coach. ADC is available to drivers in run groups A, B, and Group S.

    Group S is about more than driving solo; it’s a continuation of your development while driving amongst those with similar skill sets. We’re looking for drivers with solid fundamentals, consistent laps, focus and poise in traffic, and the ability to detect and correct driving errors. When registering for a GGC HPDE, you can indicate you’d like to be evaluated for Group S.
