Race Lab Toronto

Race Lab is an advanced driving school and recreational motorsports operator based in Thornhill, Ontario, offering rally driving, car‑control courses and corporate events. Programs cover mixed surfaces—dirt, gravel, pavement and snow/ice—using specialized instruction and purpose‑built venues.

Founded by rally driver Leonid “Crazy Leo” Urlichich, Race Lab runs training and experience days at multiple Ontario locations (head office in Thornhill). The team provides manual‑transmission coaching, group packages, gift experiences and event bookings via their website.

Expect a practical, instructor‑led session focused on vehicle control rather than sightseeing. Sessions combine classroom briefing with on‑track exercises and supervised laps.

Look out for:

• Low‑traction drills on gravel or snow surfaces.

• Rally‑style cornering and car‑control exercises.

• Manual transmission and shifting practice when requested.

• Group and corporate event formats with briefings and debriefs.

Best way to experience it: Arrive prepared to participate (closed footwear, layered clothing for outdoor/track conditions) and book a session type that matches your goals—introductory courses for beginners or advanced rally modules for seasoned drivers.

• Booking is required; check the official site for available dates.

• Locations vary by session—confirm the venue before you go.

• Wear closed shoes and dress for outdoor, variable weather.

• Not all sessions include passenger rides; read the session description.
