Following the brief school/orientation classroom session drivers will be allowed to participate in the open lapping for the rest of the day within their designated group. Progression from the yellow group to the green group will be determined by the Track Director or Chief Instructor based on the entry's performance and experience on track. (typically a driver progresses up from the novice group after 3 or 4 track sessions - however this is based on individual driver performance/experience, is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the Chief Instructor)
