Driving School Overview

All Driveway Austin performance driving courses are designed to be completed in one day. The philosophy behind this is that after one day in the classroom and on the track, most new high-performance driving students are tired and overloaded with new information. This new knowledge needs some time to process and the student needs some time to rest.

We encourage each student to come back on "open test days" so they can practice the techniques they have learned and then when they feel comfortable, take a proficiency test and move on to the next level of performance instruction.

There are 5 levels of instruction, testing, licensing and track section access.
