The instructors will then introduce themselves and take you on a track reconnaissance. Two reconnaissance laps are conducted to familiarize you with the circuit, acceleration zones, braking points, turns, and essential safety rules.

The course then begins with the specified number of laps, guided by the instructor’s valuable advice. The instructor is there to assist with your driving, especially if you’re a novice. The more you listen, the more enjoyment you’ll get from driving your prestige car.
