NCM MSP Driving Academy: Level Two

Earlier this year, Corvsport.com introduced our readers to the NCM Motorsports Park Driving Academy programs.  In that post, we provided a comprehensive overview of the Level One Academy driving program at the Motorsports Park.  That experience, which consists of classroom instruction interlaced with an autocross session and two on-track driving sessions, was an immersive experience aimed at new students looking to step into the world of performance driving.

On Friday, November 1, I returned to the NCM Motorsports Park to attend the Level Two Driving Academy. Like its predecessor, the program was a fusion of classroom instruction and on-track driving.  However, where the Level One course – which lasted a total of two hours from start to finish – provided a condensed-but-comprehensive introduction to the world of HPD (High-Performance Driving), the Level Two Driving Academy was a full-day, fully immersive program that provided its students multiple opportunities to fully experience the track behind the wheel of an eighth-generation, mid-engine Corvette Stingray.
