“The events are designed to show the durability of Raybestos quality parts that are now being used in NASCAR and IndyCar events,” said Wally Marciniak, Affinia’s director of technical services. “We outfitted the cars with the exact same parts customers order and install every day – no ‘one offs.’”
Classroom and on-track professional instruction is provided by the Jeff Gordon/Mario Andretti Racing School, and includes advanced driving skills, racing techniques and extreme braking exercises, including threshold braking. Customers drive race-prepared Ford Mustang GTs.
The school started on Aug. 18 at the Waterford Hills Road Course in Clarkston, Mich., and continues in Chicago on Sept. 4; New Jersey on Sept. 18; Las Vegas on Sept. 22; Talladega on Oct. 6; and Charlotte on Oct. 13. (Tire Review/Akron)
