    Hi everyone. I am considering hiring a professional driver to help me gain experience in performance driving in general, but also just to explore the capabilities of the 458 through the capabilities of a professional.

    I got some feedback in the driver education forum about this, so I am asking here for anyone that knows how to find a trainer in the area.

    Thanks!

    Would this be beyond the normal instruction you get at an HPDE? Are you looking for 1:1 coaching?

    Where do you want to be coached? AMP? Road Atlanta? Barber?

    I saw the driver forum suggest karting. As an aside, a bunch of us should go to AMP this fall...

    More hands-on coaching, and preferably from someone who has exposure to cars like the 458. When it’s an event there is always limited time and generally you don’t see a lot of F cars. Then again, I’ve never been to an F car HPDE event.

    AMP would be my preference. A group going to AMP would be a great idea. I’m game...

    I'd love to have an F Chat Kart race - just let me know I'm happy to set it up - about $150 per person for two races quali and practice.

    In for the F-chat kart race.
    Chadwick-- I highly recommend Seth Thomas. I am a BMWCCA Club Racer and have worked with him in the past with excellent results. He is a great communicator and all-around nice guy.
    Shoot me a PM and I can put you in touch.
