  No speed limits, no pedestrians, no stoplights, but best of all – no tickets. The Cadillac V-Club in partnership with The Drivers Edge will provide you with an experienced instructor to help guide you through the event, one on one, as you learn how to handle your car at the limit. You set your own goals and only go as fast as you feel comfortable going. Progress as far as you wish in your own car at your own pace, become a safer driver on the street, and have a blast along the way!

  High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) refers to a track day held on a dedicated road racing track designed to teach drivers proper high speed driving in a controlled environment. 

  The cost to participate will be determined by the program level you select and you will be provided with an experienced instructor, classroom sessions in between run groups, and over two hours of dedicated track time plus classroom instruction.

  The Novice program ($275) is for drivers who are new to driving on a racing circuit, or only have one or two previous events. The full day program includes classroom instruction throughout the day, on-track drills to help you learn some basic skills before you drive at speed, in-car instruction, and of course several sessions at speed. This program includes an instructor in the passenger seat of your vehicle.

  The Intermediate program ($225) is tailored towards drivers who have mastered the basics, and includes classroom instruction throughout the day, as well as in-car instruction.  You will be driving with an instructor.  To register for this program you must provide evidence of your track driving experience or certification.

  The Advanced program ($225) includes a mix of drivers who have worked up the skill ladder and may even include drivers with competition licenses.  However, we do not allow competitive driving (racing) in this group. Aggressive, late passes, dropping two tires regularly, pouncing on a slower car’s rear bumper, blocking or being unpredictable are all unacceptable. The key attribute of the Advanced program is COOPERATIVE DRIVING. This group includes drivers who are experienced in road racing and work together for fast laps around the track. Slower cars hold their line, and sometimes will lift a bit early on corner entry to make the pass easy for the passer. To register for this program you must provide evidence of your track driving experience or certification.

  In order to participate, you are required to RSVP and pay in advance of the event via the CadillacVClub.com website.  Your entry is not guaranteed until your payment is received.  A wait list will open for RSVP registration when the event is full.

  Be sure to read the cancellation/refund policy.  No exceptions to this policy unless we can fill your spot by moving a member off the wait list.
  
  This is an excellent opportunity to test your track driving skills in a safe environment behind the wheels of your Cadillac V.  Drivers Edge offers a curriculum that goes beyond that of typical performance driving schools.  The programs are designed for drivers of all experience levels and includes techniques and skills you can apply with the assistance of your in-car instructor.  Classroom sessions are brief but informative. You will leave this event with improved driving confidence in yourself and your Cadillac V-Series vehicle!

This full-day experience will be structured similar to the former Cadillac V-Performance Labs and is bound to impress by balancing luxury and high-adrenaline performance driving in a renowned country club setting.

  He is a three-time American Le Mans Series champion and four-time class winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, driving for Team Cadillac in the Pirelli World Challenge. Johnny led Team Cadillac to four championships in seven years  which is very impressive. His first race for GM was in the Corvette at the 24 hours of Daytona in 2001. Corvette won that race overall. Johnny went on to win Le Mans, Sebring, Petit Le Mans, Championships at Corvette and continued on with Cadillac doing the same.
  

  From 2012 through 2015 Cadillac won the PWC Manufacturers Championship each year. Since joining GM as a professional driver, he has won 63 races which is quite an amazing feat. Johnny has two children (Canaan and Kelly), one of whom (Canaan) made his professional racing debut at Pirelli World Challenge TCB Class at MRLS 2016.

  DAY ONE - Novice/Intermediate Only

  This 1-Day Novice Blackwing Experience for V-Club members is designed for drivers of all experience levels. The curriculum focuses on improving drivers’ capability and confidence level through a series of classroom, paddock and track activities, all while providing a safe and fun environment to learn precision driving that can be applied in any vehicle. Participants will be able to experience both the CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing models.

  The Advanced Blackwing Experience is tailored for members whom have attended a minimum of 2 HPDE (High Performance Track Experience) courses with additional track day experience at the 2-day V-Performance Academy or an SCCA instructor led event.  This 1-Day Advanced Blackwing Experience builds on the foundation of the standard curriculum by extending the track time and expanding on racing techniques to get the most out of the performance capabilities of the Blackwing. With open-lapping, you’ll learn how to safely and properly pass other drivers without being guided by your instructor. If you’re interested in track days and faster speeds, this advanced driving experience is for you.
