So why would training on gravel and dirt be beneficial for these different varieties of racing? Benjamin Pedersen (Formula 4) and the crew from Global Racing Group, Garret Archer (NASCAR K&N Series), and Cole Keatts (GRC and Off-Road Short Course) all headed to DirtFish with the goal of improving their overall driving capabilities.
Tackling our school courses in RWD Subaru BRZs, the students purposefully broke traction to gain confidence behind the wheel while utilizing advanced car control techniques.
