ABRS was a great and unique experience. Unique in that you are coached while driving open-wheel formula inspired cars. Unique in that you are learning to lap at Laguna Seca. And, unique that you are learning from a team that has real F1 and Le Mans history.

The school was ran professionally and always strived to maximize actual seat time. By the end of the 2nd day i could start to feel the fatigue set in a bit. Communication was good, each day ran well. Its hard to find a school that offers what ABRS can offer you in just 2 days. I am a track novice, but i feel i got a good base to move forward from.

Always respectfully,
Mike

This is such a well-run school. Not only is Allen there himself, but all of the instructors and support staff are all very knowledge and personable. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. After comparing notes with people who have attended other schools, Allen's program definitely seems to stand out as best in class. I would highly recommend this school whether you are looking to get into racing or just looking to have loads of fun for a few days!

Professionalism and a high-level racing experience await all fortunate participants in this "best of its kind" program.

My daughter just completed the 3-day Formula 1 driving experience, with me as a spectator, at Allen Berg's racing school. This was a first-class operation in every aspect: instructors top in their field, detailed breakdown of the course beginning with a walk-along on the track, classroom discussion of driving technique, plenty of driving time, and then breakdown of each driver's performance via GoPros and car sensors to analyze every turn and improvement from previous laps. By the end of the third day she had the track memorized and left with a great sense of accomplishment and probably the biggest adrenaline rush available in a controlled setting. Outstanding in every aspect, and kudos to Allen and his excellent crew!

My teenage son attended the Allen Berg Racing School and said it was the most amazing experience of his life! The whole program was really well-organized, with sessions that were clear, structured, and easy to follow.

The instructors were fantastic - super approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in helping him learn. They took the time to explain everything and made sure he really understood, which gave him so much confidence.

We’re already planning to attend another Allen Berg School. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible Formula racing experience!

What a great experience at Laguna Seca! Expert instruction and tons of seat time at one of the coolest tracks in North America. A bucket list item for sure.
