  Karting schools/Learning the fundamentals? Looking for some advice here. I’ve always been crazy about cars and racing, and I’ve owned fun cars, but I’ve never received any real racing training. I’m looking to learn the basics the right way. Some background - low 30s dude with a family and not lots of spare time, so I’m looking for concentrated programs. I’m up for traveling if I have to. No set budget - I know education is expensive. My goal is to learn the fundamentals of racing and car control. From my research it seems like karting is the least expensive and best training tool for the job. Then I would hope to race as often as I can in a spec class as well as driving my cars on track. Wheel to wheel racing is a distant possibility. So with all that being said - what are the karting schools you guys recommend? Or are their instructors you think are good? Like I said I’m willing to travel but I’m in NC if it matters. Thanks!

  I would check out [www.allenbergracingschools.com](https://www.allenbergracingschools.com) Allen Berg is a local racing hero (Calgary) who was in Formula 1 for a short while. Very good program. [www.skipbarber.com](https://www.skipbarber.com) is an industry standard. Highly recommended. ​ If you are interested in something more 1 on 1, and tailored to your interests i'm always willing to help out. Shoot me a PM. A mixture of simulator training, classroom, karting and road car driving can be arranged. ​ Good luck, and welcome to the sport of racing.

  Hello everyone! Looking to sign my almost 16 year old boys up for driving lessons. Eeks! Based on your kids' experiences- any schools you would highly recommend or stay away from? Thanks so much and Happy New Year!

  A teen safety / defensive driving school is more valuable than a cookie cutter "pass the test" driving school. I know kids need the cookie cutter to get a license but if you really want your kid safe I would highly recommend looking into a class like what Skip Barber runs. http://skipbarber.com/teen-safety-survival/
