I heard there was or is a Ford GT Driving School. Have seen pics of a portion of a brochure for it, but not enough to determine who was or is doing it. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks.
I've been to the Bondurant School and met Bob. No GT's but they have a bunch of different cars including outrigger equipped Mustangs to teach you how to powerslide or drive on ice. Driving is kinda like sex in that most guys think they're pretty good at it. It won't take too much time at Bondurant to realize you don't know squat (about driving :biggrin ). You'll learn a lot in a few days and everybody who does it becomes a better driver. Now if I could just find a good sex school. :cheersbitzman said:I don't think Bondurant accompanies you in the car anymore but he has a good staff. But now the school is in Phoenix where it's hotter than hell in the summer. Let's hope some Forum-ite enrolls in the school and gives us a report.
I did this with my Cobra. When I took the road racing school at Bob's, I was also doing development work on my Cobra (with input from Bob and his chief instructor.) It was great to see Bob really enjoy the drive. When he took me out for laps, you could see how much he respected the car. Each shift was precise and deliberate. I would not have any reservation about letting Bob drive my GT. The funny thing is that when I was a passenger, Bob, probably out of habit, was giving me a driving lesson. :lolBlue Moose said:... I have been invited to take the GT to his track and Bob will put me in the passenger seat and show me what it can do...

Bart, Bob is one of the great drivers and has one of the best driving schools in the country and given my proximity to his facilities, I would be one of the few to have this opportunity and it would be lots of fun. I'm sure one day soon I'll be at Bob's track with my car begging him to take me for a drive. I see in your photo of the garage the posters on the wall. Are they of Bob? I'll stop by and take a look. There's gotta be a lot of memorabilia there.
