Stunt I

Build precision, timing, and repeatability in the FWD production-driving foundation.

01Course description

The objective. The work. The standard.

Stunt I builds the disciplined fundamentals behind automotive action in a front-wheel-drive platform: vehicle placement, cue response, controlled speed, and the ability to arrive at or stop on the same mark repeatedly. Predictable front-axle traction keeps the focus on clean inputs, deliberate weight transfer, and accuracy before complexity is added.

Students work from walk-through and low-speed rehearsal into single-maneuver exercises on a closed course, learning to communicate clearly, preserve margins, and reset a take without improvisation.

Primary development areas
  • Set terminology, hand signals, and radio protocol
  • Vehicle checks and cockpit preparation
  • FWD traction, understeer, and lift-throttle awareness
  • Reading diagrams, marks, and reference points
  • Precision acceleration and braking
  • Repeatable stops on a mark
  • Slalom and constrained-lane placement
  • Forward and reverse vehicle control
  • Basic rotation and direction-change fundamentals
  • Cue timing and reaction discipline
  • Low-speed rehearsal and progressive build-up
  • Abort, escape-route, and reset procedures
  • Continuity notes and self-review
