Driving classes for high performace cars.

I still maintain that if someone had gone to a class they would be less likely to race on the street. I don't see professional race car drivers racing on the street. Perhaps when people bought said cars the dealers had it worked into the price. I don't know how it would work in all honesty. Handing a 16 year old a 400 plus car for their birthday though is just insane & sadly there are people who do this.

Probably because they get paid to race on the track and they don't have to pay for track days.

I disagree. Classes would perhaps help you control your vehicle in a worst case scenario.

Racing is more of a personal decision. No amount of classes will deter someone from racing. Some might be scared of the potential consequences while others will become over-confident after taking classes. It's really just the lack of common sense that leads to crashes for the most part. **criminology and psychological aspect/theory**

Skip Barber has both racing & driving classes. BMW has a performance school which was also decent too in my opinion.
