So, you're a sports car enthusiast, yes? Own a high-performance car? Did you notice, in the owner's manual (you DID read the owner's manual, right?), that there's detailed info on the seat adjustment, and the climate controls, and how to change a flat tire... but there's no ADVANCED DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS! How can you acquire and master the skills necessary to safely enjoy the performance potential of your car? For that matter, what exactly is the performance potential of your car? To attempt to explore that potential, and learn those skills, on the public streets and roads is, at best, an exercise in futility. At worst, it is downright dangerous, for you, and other users of the streets.

Chin Motorsports exists to provide opportunities to people like you to bring your high-performance car to well-known road courses, for the purpose of receiving advanced driver training, and enjoying your car in ways that are not possible on public roads. Experience the pungent odor of hot brakes. Hear the tires screech like a silly car chase on TV... but, this is for real... it's you, in your car. We offer high-performance driver education in the closed-course controlled environment of some of the renowned venues in the country... tracks like Sebring International Raceway, Watkins Glen International, and VIRginia International Raceway, just to name a few (see a complete list of venues here). We DO NOT offer racing or competition; all of our events are defined as driver education activities, and are governed accordingly. Our events are well structured, and fully staffed with emergency personnel, corner workers, and instructors. We welcome ALL enthusiasts; there is no requirement to own a particular marque of car. Almost any modern street car with OEM equipment can be used. Feel free to browse our event pictures pages to see a sample of the kinds of cars that participate.

Chin Motorsports was first organized in 1999. We were a handful of sports car owners, all with a similar interest in becoming better, safer drivers, and enjoying the high performance of our cars in a safe environment, off of the street. We were attending other track events, and getting some training, and doing some driving, but mostly, we were waiting around, for our turn on the track. We grew weary of the familiar pattern of waiting around for an hour and a half, for a 20-25 minute session on track, followed by another waiting period... and decided to do something different. We adopted a structure of limiting the enrollment in our events to fewer drivers, and having longer sessions, more frequently. The result today is that, at a typical CMS event, a driver can get more track time before lunch than many other events offer all day! Since 1999, we have now organized more than 135 safe, successful events. Over 10,000 drivers have participated in our programs.

For the entry-level/novice driver, we assign an expert instructor. The instructor accompanies you as a passenger while you drive on track. You receive real-time feedback and coaching on advanced driving skills, track etiquette, and safety. Our novice driver program also includes 2 hours of indoor classroom instruction, where one of our Master Instructors provides training on car control, vehicle dynamics, road course fundamentals, and, again, safety.

If you are an experienced veteran of the track, you may receive a solo qualification, and enjoy the freedom of our long sessions and generous schedule, to get maximum track time for practice or testing. Even though there is no competition at our track events, competition prepared cars are welcomed.

Observers and guests are welcome at our events. Many enthusiasts come just to admire the fantastic display of cars that is present at every event. And, it's also possible to register as a passenger, and ride with some of our advanced drivers, to enjoy the view of the track through the windshield, instead of through a fence!

Forget the frustration of commuting... leave your cell phone elsewhere... no worries about traffic jams or construction zones... experience the pure pleasure of high-performance driving, with Chin Motorsports.
