Sonoma Raceway Driving School
Date: May 9
Course: Sonoma Raceway
After an extended hiatus, the Golden Gate Chapter is returning to the world-famous Sonoma Raceway! Join your local Golden Gate Chapter and master your craft with our High-Performance Driving School (HPDS). The $750 fee for this event includes in-car instruction and plenty of track time. For Group S drivers (advanced solo), the fee is $600.
Skills-focused Driving
Our focus is on safety and learning. Every student is assigned an in-car instructor for the duration of the event. (Group S drivers are solo, and can opt for data coaching.) Classroom sessions feature presentations and discussions of vehicle dynamics, car control, and corner-by-corner track details.
Our solo program, Group S, is available at a discount for a select group of advanced drivers—$600 for the day. Advanced Data Coaching is also available for an additional $150 for S drivers — your coach works with you in a classroom rather than in your car.

Instructors please note:
The Golden Gate Chapter will not be covering instructor lodging for this event. In lieu of that, we will have a dedicated instructor run group, in addition to being able to drive with S group or the advanced students.
Important information about the waiting list:
- If sold out, register anyway! You will be waitlisted automatically. We expect to accept a large number of students from the waiting list. We start with a conservative student count, and pull students from the waiting list as more instructors sign up for the event.
