Throughout the year the Atlantic Formula Racing Association (AFRA) will put on Track Schools (aka Lapping Schools) at Atlantic Motorsport Park. These sessions allow anyone to lap the track in a safe, controlled environment in their street car (no convertibles without proper rollover protection) or prepared race car without the stress of competition! In order to participate in these sessions drivers are required to have completed an ARMS approved school. To make this process easier AFRA will be providing several 'Track Schools' throughout the year. These sessions will teach you the basics of track safety and driver control to provide you with the tools required to drive at AMP during these sessions!
The Track Day Schools will be by pre-registration only and will be limited to 4-6 students per school, so please register soon to ensure your spot. Entry fee is $140.00 which includes the lapping card license for students who successfully complete the school.A $60.00 deposit is required to reserve your entry.
Cheques payable to AFRA can be mailed to:

Deposits or full payments can also be made via PayPal to
paypal@atlanticformularacing.comDeposits must be recieved a minimum of ONE WEEK prior to the event. Deposits or payments after those dates may not guarantee a position! Refunds of deposits will not be issued after these dates.
The schools will consist of 2-3hrs of classroom time followed by a track walk. The afternoon will be spent with the instructors one on one in the car on the track. Students will also be required to man a marshal station for one lapping session with a marshal or instructor at some point during the day.
Completion of a Lapping School qualifies participants for an ARMS Lapping License allowing you access to the many Track Days (aka Lapping Days) at Atlantic Motorsport Park throughout the year. The cost of this license is included in your school entry. A Lapping License does not qualify you for Time Attack or Racing events.
There will be regular lapping in the morning. In the afternoon lapping sessions will alternate between the students and novice/experienced lappers with the possibility of race cars and formula cars.
Those willing to assist as marshals for the school will get discounts for these Track Days.
The students will not be "mixed in" with the regular lappers until the instructor signs off on them.
July 1st weekend is gonna be a busy one. Double slalom on the 30th/1st, then a lapping day on the 2nd
