DRIVR Académie

DRIVR Académie puts you behind the wheel of Sportsman‑type race cars on a quarter‑mile dirt oval near Saint‑Marcel‑de‑Richelieu. Programs range from introductory 'pilot for a day' sessions to team and corporate packages.

Sessions run at RPM Speedway May–September (evening events common); higher‑level training uses Autodrome Granby. Instruction focuses on throttle control, car placement and safe drifting under coach supervision.

Expect a hands‑on driving session: safety briefing, instructor demo, and multiple on‑track runs in a single‑seater style race car.

On track you'll do:

• Guided warm‑up laps with an instructor in a chase vehicle
• Timed solo or paired runs practicing controlled slides and apexing
• Debrief with video or coach feedback (depending on package)
• Access to on‑site facilities (restaurant, washrooms)

Best way to experience it: arrive early to complete waivers, wear closed‑toe shoes and layers (evening temps can drop). Book the full‑day or Level‑2 package at Autodrome Granby if you want longer runs and higher speeds.

• Programs operate mainly May–September; many events are Saturday evenings.
• Bring photo ID and signed waiver; under‑18s require guardian consent.
• Wear closed‑toe shoes and avoid loose clothing; helmets provided or required per package.
• Facility has a restaurant and licensed bar; expect gravel/dirt surfaces in parking areas.
