Why use the Formula Skip Barber race car for the Racing School?
For the Racing School, the Formula Skip Barber race car is the ultimate and perfect “classroom”: a space-frame chassis, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder making 130 h.p., high-performance street tires, and a conventional four-speed racing gearbox. It offers exemplary handling characteristics, an ideal amount of power, and it is a strong, safe car. Its handling feedback is positive and progressive — it is very easy to develop a feel for the transitional responses necessary for controlling the car at the limit. And the car’s power is perfect — enough to master the skills of sliding a car through a corner, but low enough so as to not mask improper driving techniques. Bottom line: The Formula Skip Barber race car is simply the best rolling classroom there is to learn the fastest way around any track.
