RSR Lotus Schools

Based on the same principles of speed, technique and training as the famous '75 Experience', the RSR 'Lotus' Schools make use of the latest sportscars built by Lotus. Lightweight, powerful and with the direct-to-your-brain feel of a true supercar, our 2010-model Exiges are perfectly prepared for the circuit and will offer you a driving experience to remember for years to come.

Our courses are no '20-minute' wonder either. You will be on-track for the duration of the day, only pausing for the occasional rest-stop and instructor pep-talk. We aim to maximise your time on track at every point.

exige_spa_320.jpgThe car is your classroom at RSR. The normal instructor to student ratio on a course is a 3:1 and our cars are shared a maximum of two students to one car.

The briefing and classroom session takes place before the track opens, typically the night before. Your first laps of the track will be done under radio-guided convoy - no worrying about what comes next as we impart circuit knowledge as simply and quickly as possible.

In both our Spa and Nordschleife courses you will learn:

  • High-speed driving techniques
  • Correct use of the controls
  • Correct use of your eyes and brain
  • The racing line, and the best use of different variations through our convoy training system
  • The finding, recognition and importance of 'balance'

Frequently Asked Questions:
"What's included?"
Your instruction, all your fuel, your track entry fees and use of our totally specced-out 2010 Lotus Exige S. There is also a limited insurance policy too.
"How many students are there to each instructor?"
Our ideal is that there are 3 students to 1 instructor. Sometimes there are more, sometimes there are less.
"Do I have to share my car?"
Yes, you will be sharing your car. For many years we offered the opportunity to upgrade into your own car, but we found it to be a waste of money. Customers driving a single car didn't drive any more laps than those sharing a car. There's a physical and mental limit to how many laps you can handle in a day, and unless you're already exceptionally experienced at the Nordschleife, we don't think it's worth the cost of keeping a car to yourself (about €2800, in case you're wondering!).
"How many laps will I be actually driving?"
As a rough guide we aim to give each student around 10 laps of driving at the 'ring (over 200km), but we try and fit 15 laps in (over 300km!). Quite often we'll find the student has no energy or concentration left before we hit 15 though.

"Where can I do this and when?"
We have courses running at the Nurburgring and Spa - usually a couple of options for each per month. If you have a group and want to do another European track, this is also possible.
"What if I crash?"
The car's are worth €50k, but your liability in the event of total-write off will be limited to €10,500 maximum. Crashes on our courses are extremely rare.
