Default Evolution Driving School

Does anyone have personal experience with this school? Is it considered good or not? Any info would be appreciated.

Default Re: Evolution Driving School (C5Dawg)

I have done phase 1 and phase 2

I took the school after having a lot of experience already. Phase 1 you get a lot of runs on a course with split times, so you can see how you improve on various sections of the course.

I definitely got faster, and picked up some important tips on slaloms, and got some practice looking ahead and feedback on the benefits.


Phase2 is untimed, the point is to practice skills like looking ahead, they change the course around on you during the day, and you don't get a walkthrough. Good practice in visualizing the course and looking ahead.

My improvements were rather subtle since I was already pretty quick, but there were a couple people there who were fairly new to autocrossing who got MUCH better. They went from terrible to looking like pros in one day.

I reccomend it. Bring a fresh set of tires.

I did evolution a couple years back. Deffinately worth the money. Good pointers on your driving,and best of all, lots of seat time. Probably an entire auto-x season in 1 day almost.
