Speed Therapy is the best value for CTMP on the Grand Prix Track and the ride along instructors are free for new drivers. BMW Trillium club has a very good school they run 3X per year and you have the same instructor, one on one in car and classroom. The best instruction I have received is from ACE - Perry Performance at Calabogie. They train you on "race craft" versus how to get around the track type education. CTMP and Calabogie can be a bit overwhelming for a brand new driver - more challenging than Spring Mountain. I hear TMP open lapping days are not as organized (AKA Wild West) and I would not recommend for a new driver and I don't think they have instructors. Grand Bend open lapping days are well managed and there are not any barriers to hit if you run off etc. and I consider this one of the safest tracks, but there is no instruction. I always find Grand Bend has a great group of drivers who are willing to show a new person the ropes.You can prep your car yourself except for the track alignment. I do it all the time. I use Can-Alignment Scott Murfin for track alignment who is very knowledgeable and reasonable priced. Any GM dealer who sell a lot of Corvettes can handle all the track prep. too. The only dealer I have used is Finch Chevrolet in London. The cost can be significant depending on what you want done. The alignment, brake fluid change and top off of the trans fluid can run over $1500.
