A great way to gain seat time. The simulator feels very similar to a real car. The instructor, Jason, is patient, precise and has a really nice way of teaching,motivating and instructing. He gives a lot of valuable pointers that translate to real fast laptimes on the track. Unless you have a feel for the simulator , its hard to explain how precise it feels to a real car.I went there specifically to practice heel-toe but ended up learning a lot more like threshold braking, rate of steering input , etc. I would recommend you all to give it a try irrespective of your skill level as it is actual seat time and training at 1/10 of the cost compared to doing it in a real car.(Yes, you cannot substitute a real car for a sim, but its a great way to start off)

Fantastic facility to hone your driving skills! For the serious racers: Jason gave me valuable pointers that got me to multiple podium finishes and a shot at the championship this season racing in the NASA BMW spec series! For novice, this is a must before actually going to the track by familiarizing yourself with race track and car controls on the simulator. You will learn way more when you are actually driving at the track afterwards. Kid you not, I really learned how to race on PC racing games back in the 90s with primitive graphics. So I can't imagine how much you can learn on the sim at SSI!

I came to SSi having very little experience in racing and in just several months time I was surprised at how much I've improved due to the meticulous instruction provided by the school's main instructor, Jason. With over 25+ years involved in the racing industry, the techniques I have learned, on the school's one of a kind simulators, thus far has significantly improved my skills on every different track that I have been on, and am confident that once I complete the program I will be able to sit in any car, on any track and be able to get up to pace in a relatively short time. If you're looking to improve in any facet of driving, this is definitely the place to do so, and the for the price, SSi Racing School is second to none!

As good as it gets! . Without spending thousands of dollars crashing your real race car, SSI's simulator provides the best feedback from any race situation. You can drive Laguna Seca to Spa, drive in the rain or dry, and even race a Datsun 510 or a Manor Formula 1. Fantastic place to learn how to race with excellent equipment. Talk to Jason!

SSI Racing School I believe is a brilliant racing school. They teach you the basics up to the advance techniques use in racing. The lead instructor is a former semi professional racing driver who has won many races and championships in karting. Also, the school combines simulation and on-track racing to get rid of driving weaknesses. And the price is reasonable compared to other racing schools out there. Go ahead and visit their facility!

SSI Racing School I believe has the best teaching method out there to become a faster, more consistent, and more complete driver. The lead instructor is s former Semi Professional racing driver who has won many races and championships in karting. The school combines on track and simulation racing to get rid of driving weaknesses. With goals to perfect your driving skills. The price is better than any other racing school out there and you learn a lot more about racing and yourself. I am just one of the examples that this school works. Here's my story: I entered into the K1 speed Championship in 2014 as my first time. This was around the same time I was going through the SSI training program. At the beginning of the championship I started off placing around mid pack, but each race by race I kept training and kept getting faster on the simulator which translated into real life. In result half way through the season I won my first race and by the end of the season managed to win the championship. I would have never achieved this without the training of SSI Racing School.

Jason Shadd and the associates of the SSI Racing School are as good as it gets in the racing school business. Through careful analysis, and training catered to a drivers needs to go quick, be on the limit, and be consistent, Jason makes anyone a complete driver. After 1.5 years of training under Jason, I have made considerable differences on the track and on the sim. When i first joined, in December 2014, I was 20 seconds or more off the pace and in the present day i am 1 if not wishing 1 second of him. Practice makes perfect and that is exemplified by Jason. Not only that but the simulator is state of the art. It is way to realistic and after getting used to it, if a wall approaches i brace for impact.Go ahead and try it out. It won't hurt and is the fraction of the cost as other racing schools.Definitely check it out !
