“Since 1999, Chin Motorsports has delivered on the goal of providing safe and
exciting track day experiences for novice and veteran drivers alike,” said Dr.
Wei-Shen Chin, president of Chin Motorsports. “With the 2010 schedule, we’re
continuing this mission and fulfilling our promise of ‘More Tracks, More Track
Time’ for our valued clients.”
Entry-level drivers are paired with expert instructors for one-on-one advanced
driver coaching. In-car instruction is provided while the driver pilots their
own car around laps of some of America's greatest road courses. As Novices
progress during an event, instructors will introduce more advanced driving
techniques such as threshold braking and heel-toe shifting. Sessions rotate
between Novice drivers with instructors, Intermediate solo drivers and Advanced
solo drivers. A longer “happy hour” session frequently ends each day. In
addition, many non-drivers attend Chin Motorsports events simply to admire the
display of the wide variety of cars and marques that are present at each event.
“The word we hear most from our clients when they describe their Chin event
experience is ‘wow’,” said Mark Hicks, general manager of Chin Motorsports. “The
best aspect of the Chin format is that we are able to deliver abundant,
high-quality track time for our drivers, with priority emphasis on safety.”
Drivers may register for events at the Chin Motorsports web site at
www.ChinMotorsports.com . Chin plans to add
additional venues and dates to the 2010 HPDE track schedule, so drivers may also
check the web site in the coming months for additional tracks and dates.
