Choose the race class that fits your car and goals

For intermediate HPDE drivers preparing for club racing, this course teaches how to read class rules, compare sanctioning structures, and choose a category before spending money on the wrong build. The outcome is a defensible class shortlist, a prep boundary, and a registration checklist grounded in published rules instead of paddock hearsay.
