Pittsburgh International Race Complex

This is the Pitt Race program that will introduce you to what a Performance Driving Education (PDE) day is like. This is a short program designed to provide information on what to do in advance of a PDE, what to expect on your first day, and let you take a tour of the track so your very first laps are as low stress as possible. There will be no “at speed” laps for this program. It will involve both time in the classroom and a few controlled pace touring laps of the track.

Group 1 is for first time track drivers or for drivers with limited experience at other tracks. If you ever wanted to learn about high performance driving but lack the track experience, this group is for you. Drivers spend their sessions with our driving instructors and learn the basic skills of high performance driving. This group is meant to provide a supportive and instructional low pressure situation for any driver to learn the fundamentals of performance driving in the safest way possible.

Once our instructors have approved you to move up from Group 1, or if you have some other verifiable track experience, Group 2 is the next step.This group provides experienced drivers a chance to continue improving their performance driving skills with instructors. The goal for this group is to learn advanced and higher-speed maneuvers while maintaining control and safety on track.

Group 2 Solo is for drivers who have demonstrated an understanding of highperformance rules, safety, etiquette, and track regulations. Drivers in this group have been signed off as safe solo drivers by a Pitt Race instructor or can provide evidence of acceptable experience with other PDE organizations.
