Bertil Roos Racing School at RacingSchools.com

As a pioneer in the industry, the Bertil Roos Racing School has been training students in the art of motor racing for over a quarter of a century. Graduates of the Bertil Roos school can be found at every level of racing, from the hobbyist up to the top levels of professional racing.

Founded by 1970's Swedish Formula 1 driver Bertil Roos, the Bertil Roos Racing School is one of only a few schools to be awarded full licensing accreditation status for the Regional and National S.C.C.A. Competition licenses.

Bertil Roos' staff of experienced racing instructors has developed a multitude of programs that challenge drivers at all experience levels. Graduates of Bertil Roos Racing School programs frequently comment on the unparalleled quality of the instruction, the plentiful amount of seat time, and the family atmosphere that is unequaled in the industry.

Drivers in the Roos Formula 2000 Series, whether hobbyists or aspiring professionals, find the perfect environment to develop their racing skills in real practice and racing conditions, for a price that is unmatched by other schools' race series. At Bertil Roos you race more for less money. Even drivers who are doing a short half or 1 day program are surprised to find themselves driving on the track without having to follow a pace car and with passing allowed. No other racing school in the USA offers such liberal programs in half or 1 day format!

About the vehicles
When you enroll in one of Bertil Roos' programs, you'll be strapped into a real 150 bhp Formula 2000 racecar. When properly driven, these cars will accelerate from 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds, reach 130mph in the draft, pull up to 2g's in the corners, and stop on a dime! The reclining seat
position, open cockpit, and Indy-style body work provide you with the unique experience and a clear view of exactly what the pros see when they are battling it out, head-to-head on TV. Wide tires and front and rear wings make sure your butt is firmly glued to your seat as you rocket around the track lap after lap. Safety, of course, is Bertil Roos' highest priority. Roos' F2000 cars have been designed and engineered to be among the safest in the industry. The body panels are handcrafted and molded using highly flexible, yet infinitely strong carbon fiber. The body panels are form-fitted to a stiff chassis and welded steel roll cage to ensure our drivers experience the fastest, safest laps of their lives.

Be a better driver on the road
Also available at Roos is the Hi-Performance Volvo program, focusing on better development of essential skills needed for everyday street driving. For some unknown reason, to issue a driver's license, states require drivers to know how to parallel park, adjust their mirrors, and put their belts on, but spend absolutely no time teaching drivers the dynamics of a car's handling , and what a driver should do in an emergency situation. This program starts where regular driver's education ends. This is the driver education program every driver should take, young and old! Spend 2 days experiencing extreme driving situations, the type you would only see when in an emergency on the road. Experience it first, in open safe conditions, learn what to do, and practice it continuosly throughout the program so you can have a better chance of avoiding an accident on the road, and/or of minimizing the effect of it in the end!

Half Day Road Racing Adventure Price: $525.00

This program starts off with an hour long classroom session, where you'll learn basic techniques of car control, flag signals, dynamics of the car, and breaking and acceleration points around the track. Your classroom session will be followed by a ride with an instructor around the track in a passenger vehicle, once again to show you the breaking and acceleration points and the proper "racing line" around the track. Next you'll be on your own for 30 laps in the Formula 2000 car.

One Day Road Racing Adventure Price: $1195.00

This course is geared for those of you who want more than a half-day of excitement (no prior experience necessary, you just need to know how to drive a manual transmission). We provide more detailed instruction, tougher critiquing, and TWICE as much track time as the Half-Day programs.

Upon arriving at the track, you'll get dressed in the same style of racing suit worn by the pros, and fitted for the full-face helmet you will be using for the day.

You will then move on and participate in classroom instruction on what it takes to control a racecar on the track when driving at the limit. To add tangible credibility to the classroom session, and prepare you for the experience of a lifetime, we follow up with live demonstrations and practice in our street cars.

The last bit of preparation involves a short introduction to the racecars, review of the safety flags, and a short discussion about racing etiquette Then...it's off to the races!

Our 1-Day road racing program consists of four 20-minute track sessions for more than 60 laps on the track!

2 Day - Advanced Road Racing School Price: $2295.00

We are the only school in the world that uses on-board video to better facilitate and accelerate the educational process.

Day one starts with a brief classroom session, followed immediately by a track ride-around in one of our street cars. Next you'll climb into one of our racecars and go wheel-to-wheel and nose-to-tail for four sessions with the instructors, as they show you the safest and most effective passing techniques. Other activities include drafting, practice race starts, qualifying strategies and racing tactics, as well as analyzing the video segments captured throughout your lapping sessions.

Day two is structured like a race day. Practice, qualifying, practice starts and two 8-lap races will fill your day. Each track session is preceded by a classroom session explaining the techniques to use and the goals to shoot for in that respective session. It's like participating in your first race, with instructors watching and helping you every step of the way.

We're proud of the fact that this program is one of the most comprehensive, advanced programs in the world. Whether you race as a hobby, or intend it to be your profession, you will find this course to be an incredible and exhilarating experience.
