TMS Roval Event
Just experienced the Roval at Texas Motor Speedway. Texas Driving Experience runs this event and if you ever get a chance, it is highly recommended.
There were about 30 cars present and they were split into four groups based on experience and whether or not you wanted instruction from their professional drivers. I opted for the instruction group and found it a huge benefit. I had previously driven both the oval and the road course at TMS and the instruction received was a huge help in increasing car control, speed an understanding. The instructors were very available and provided feedback after each 30 minute session....4 sessions total.
It was mainly corvettes, but there were other cars as well. Lots of cobras, a camaro, porsche, the usual suspects.
If you get a chance to participate in this event in the future, again, you will have an awesome experience and get to drive your car to to the limits of your ability.
Thanks to Texas Driving Experience, great program

Hey Saibel - It is awesome isn't it. Glad you had a good time.
We did it last month at night - 6PM to midnight. The oval is lighted and the infield is dark. Makes it even more challenging. It was solo only event.
I've never done Texas Driving Experience. I'd like to try it with an instructor to get some pointers. I know I could do a lot better in some places.

Ha Ha!!!!...... Don't tell anyone else that cuz they are all convinced that the heavier wheels and tires, upgraded suspension components, heavier body panels with more drag actually slow the GS models down on track so much that even an average ricer could smoke it..... Brad said nice things about you also, he just didn't know that you drove the Cyber Grey C6..... Nice color and nice car
