Courses in Battipaglia

Circuito del Sele, who runs clockwise along its 1,800 meters, for very technical characteristics is ideal for the Henry Morrogh Racing Drivers School.

Born in 1985 is the school field of HMRDS from 2011.

Basic course

The basic course last 2 days and is split into 10 lessons, each of which has a theoretical and a practical part that takes place on the racetrack and lasts about 20 minutes.

Before starting the practical session in the single seater the students drive a touring car enabling the instructor to understand their initial level and their basic knowledge.

The subjects that are dealt with are:
  - Use of a non sincromesh gerbox (both with H and sequential layout)
  - Choice of best racing lines
  - Braking technique
  - Causes of understeer/oversteer and how to correct it

The first eight lessons are done in a Van Diemen 1.6 F. Ford and the last two are done in a Formula Mirage M012.

The cars are equipped with a GPS device that records engine and driving parameters, which can then be analyzed in detail using a dedicated software.

The course has a cost of 2200,00 Euro + VAT.

Advanced Course

The advanced course lasts one day and is split into 5 lessons. Each lesson has a theory part and a practical part which lasts 20 minutes.

Before starting the practical session in the single seater, the students drive a touring car, enabling the instructor to understand their initial level and their basic knowledge.

The advanced course provides a particular depth of topics covered during the basic course. The student's main objective is to study its limits and that of the car, looking for a significant chronometric performance.

The car used is Formula Mirage M012. On the car is installed a GPS device, to acquire the main parameters of driving and the engine, allowing a thorough study through the use of a specific software.

The course has a cost of 1500,00 Euro + VAT.

Test driver course

The test driver course lasts 2 days and is split into 10 lessons each of which is divided into a theory part and a practical session on the track which lasts 20 minutes.

Before starting the practical session in the single seater the students drive a touring car enabling the instructor to understand their initial level and their basic knowledge.

The arguments of the course are:
- Vehicle dinamics fondamentals
- Suspension
- Brakes
- Engine
- Aerodynamics

The goal for the pupils is to improve their driving ability and feeling for changes in setup after having been filled in on the theory side in the classroom.

The car used for this is the Formula Ford MyGale 1.8 which is equipped with a GPS device that records engine and driving parameters, which can then be analyzed in detail using a dedicated software.

The course has a cost of 2500,00 Euro + VAT.

- Choice of best racing lines
- braking technique
- Causes of understeer and oversteer and recovery techniques

Test Formula Renault 2.0

The Formula Renault Tatuus 2.0 test enables the driver to improve his driving technique and capacity on board of a high performance and advanced technology vehicle.

The duration of the Test should be agreed upon with HMRDS. Normally at least 150 km per day are covered.

Before starting the test a programme is layed out and the pupil is backed up by an instructor/race engineer with whom he will study the car data in order to correct any driving mistakes and to decide upon any variations to the car’s setup.

The singleseaters are equipped with a data analysis package which logs information about: steering angle, brake pressure, throttle posision, damper position, engine management, acceleration (3 axis) and the car is also equipped with a GPS unit that gives information about speed, lateral acceleration and about the racing lines.

The HMRDS basic course is propedeutic for this course. Alternatively the pupil must have driving experience with similar cars.
