JUNIOR RACING SCHOOL / CAMPS

The Junior Racing School at Grand Prix New York is open to juniors 7 to 16 years of age and is a perfect way to jumpstart a racing career. It is also an excellent opportunity to introduce future drivers to the basic dynamics of a kart, which will undoubtedly improve their awareness and ability to safely drive a street car in today’s demanding commuting environment. Karting is the most affordable and easily accessible form of motor sports especially when the kart is being rented out.

There are no start-up costs, no short race days due to mechanical failures, no dirty hands and no commitments. Programs are offered on a pre-scheduled per-event basis. Show up, suit up and go. Our classes are led by our professional driver and instructor Stevan McAleer from Scotland. With over 12 years experience in Karting, Formula cars and Sedans and with multiple championship wins under his belt he provides the expertise and commitment to help the progression of all our junior drivers throughout our schools.

Enrollment is held to no more than 25 students in our novice courses and no more than 15 students for our advanced courses. This makes a huge difference in the amount of personal attention and track time each student receives. Upon completion, students receive a Racing License and a complimentary GPNY Annual Membership which does not expire until they are 18!
