Autocross School

Welcome to the homepage of our annual popular Autocross School! A registration to the school includes a free registration to one of the five following regular season autocross events. Our Autocross School is meant for the young, the old, the uncertain, or the confident. Our goal is to develop your skills behind the wheel, get you comfortable navigating an autocross course, and put you on your way toward the podium!

The NER Autocross School is a full day including:

  • A Chalk Talk describing the sport, techniques, and car control basics
  • Exercises with instruction incorporating AX elements (Slalom.Offset Clamshells, simulated sweepers, other elements)
  • Timed competitive autocross runs with instruction
  • Full speed rides with an instructor driver

Finally, here is a short documentary this is autocross-specific and offers a little more background.  Note that our courses are not nearly as complicated (so don’t be daunted), we don’t allow kids in karts (sorry!) and we don’t use a PAX system – except for non-Porsches.
