JDP Racing School
JDP Racing is proud to offer the only NASA sanctioned race school designed to prepare intermediate and advanced drivers for competitive wheel-to-wheel racing. This comprehensive two day program provides personalized instruction in a private setting, focusing on the essential skills needed to obtain your race license.
What sets our JDP Race School apart: Our program requires a minimum participant threshold and employs active instructor participation on-track to ensure authentic race conditions. Unlike other schools that validate drivers in low-traffic environments, we believe proper situational awareness can only be assessed and developed in realistic multi-car scenarios.

Situational Awareness: Our Primary Focus
Situational awareness is the foundation of safe competition racing and represents the most critical component of our program. This isn't just about driving fast—it's about driving smart and safe in traffic.
Participants must demonstrate consistent situational awareness across multiple on-track sessions with varying traffic patterns before certification approval. This is non-negotiable and represents the core safety standard of our program.
Participants Must Have Access to a Race-Prepared Vehicle
NASA Competition License Requirements
Participants must demonstrate consistent competency across all areas throughout the 2-day program.
