About the Performance Driving School

TWS Motorsports Performance Driving School is a fun and exciting way for licensed drivers to experience the thrill of driving at high speeds, legally, in a controlled environment. Education, courtesy for others, and safety are stressed from the beginning of the day, starting with drivers meetings and classroom instruction for those attending for the first time.

After classroom curriculum, participants can ride in and drive their car or a rented spec Miata with a personal instructor (Green and Blue Groups). Your instructor will gradually guide you to a higher level of driving skill at a pace that is appropriate and comfortable to you. There is no pressure or competition involved. This is a performance driving school focused on improving your driving skills. Your comfort and experience level dictates how fast you go and what run group you are in.

All new drivers start in the Green Group. As skill, speed, and confidence increase, instructors will suggest soloing or moving to a more advanced group.

There are five run groups based on driver skill, speed, and experience.

Green Group is for new drivers to Texas World Speedway and those still building speed, experience, skill, and confidence. All Green Group drivers have a personal instructor assigned to them.

Blue Group is for those drivers who have successfully participated in the Green Group and want to increase their experience, skill, and confidence. Depending on the situation, some Blue Group drivers will have an instructor assigned to them while others will be experiencing their first solo runs.

Yellow Group is for drivers that have successfully participated in the Blue Group and have sufficient performance driving experience. They're building confidence, gaining more experience, increasing speed, and fine tuning skill while driving solo. Instructors are available to this group at the driver's request for advanced instruction.

White Group is for advanced drivers and racers working on advanced techniques such as racing lines, passing in turns, and tuning cars. Instructors are available at the driver's request.

Red Run Group is for instructors only.

The designation of a participant's run group is subject to the approval of and reviewed by the Chief Driving Instructor and Chief Steward.

Spectators

Spectators are welcome at all TWS Motorsports run events. Spectators must sign a waiver at the front gate. Admission is $5 per car. Spectators are limited to the paddock, concession stand, infield, and the VIP stands. Specifically, no spectators are allowed in the grandstands or beyond the safety fences.

Spectators who are interested and over 18 may arrange a ride on course with a TWS Motorsports Performance Driving School instructor.

During lunch, at 12:30, we offer parade laps for any who are interested. Parade laps allow everyone the opportunity to drive the road course configuration being used that weekend. They are driven at normal street speeds with seat belts on, but no helmets are required. An advanced driver or instructor leads the group around the course for three laps and then leads them into the paddock. No passing or racing is allowed during parade laps and will result in ejection from the premises.
