Log Books

Every lapping driver is provided with a ProFormance Driver’s Log Book. This book is a “working instrument” which you should keep in your car so you can establish a “driver’s notes” system to track your progress.

In addition, ProFormance staff will use it to document their observations and comments. Please remember to bring your log book each time you drive with us and have it date-stamped at each day’s end.

Sport Driving License

Upon the successful conclusion of your first lapping day return from the One Day High performance driving clinic, your coach will issue you a Sport Driver’s License. All ProFormance drivers qualified to solo will be issued this credential. The license must be presented at check-in.

Highlights of Driving Guidelines to be Covered in our Meeting:

• No ride giving – this is an insurance issue. The rule is in place to manage your risk and legal exposure. Time allowing, ProFormance instructors are permitted to give rides.
• Remember this is sport driving at 7/10ths – not full-on racing!.
• Entry to and exit from the track will be discussed.
• Passing on the front straightaway permitted only at the indication of the instructor or lapping driver. Driver guidelines and let by zones will be discussed.
• Prior to going on track, you should review pre-lapping checklist.
• If there are new guidelines relevant to that particular day’s session ProFormance staff will review those at the meeting.
