Coaches
Our instructors are driving professionals with a wide range of experience including Performance Rally, Autocross, Touring Car, Pro Solo, Firehawk, World Challenge, Formula Ford Championship Series, Formula 2000, hill climbing, ice racing, vintage road racing, stock car racing, and precision driving.
Customizable Courses
Step up your training with custom courses designed around your group's specific driving goals. Private lesson plans are available at every skill level, from novice to expert. Consult with our instructional team for further information.
Our Cars
Toyota is the official supplier of vehicles for the Bridgestone Winter Driving School. Note: we specifically do not use hydraulic 'skid-cars' or other artificial methods of inducing skids or mimicking a low-traction surface. All cars are mechanically unmodified. All surfaces are genuinely frozen water and snow.
Classes
There are no small lessons—just small ambitions. Level up your winter driving exposure and comfort level in extreme winter driving conditions with our five primary courses distributed across two primary disciplines: safety and performance. Kick it up a gear and add on custom coursework that will push your skills over-the-top.
