The CLRS Elite Driver Program

A Private Arrive-and-Drive Pathway Into Professional-Level Race Cars

What Is the CLRS Elite Driver Program?

  • The CLRS Elite Driver Program is a private, application-only arrive-and-drive racing program designed for intermediate to experienced track-day drivers who want to transition into professional-level race cars.

  • Unlike standard track-day experiences that rely on modified street cars, CLRS provides access to factory-built Audi RS3 LMS TCR race cars, professional race coaching, structured driver development, and full trackside support—without the need to own or maintain a race car.

How the CLRS Program Differs From Traditional Track Days?

  • Traditional track-day programs typically involve:

  • Street cars or lightly modified vehicles

  • Instruction focused on safety rather than race craft

  • Minimal data analysis or long-term development

  • The CLRS Elite Driver Program is different:

  • Factory-built Audi RS3 LMS race cars

  • Professional race-level coaching

  • Structured progression toward race driving

  • Advanced data and video analysis

  • Controlled track environments

Common Questions?

Q: Can you drive a real race car without owning one?

A: Yes. Arrive-and-drive programs allow drivers to operate professionally prepared race cars without ownership, maintenance, or long-term storage responsibilities.

Q: Do you need a racing license to join?

A: Licensing requirements depend on progression level. Our arrive-and-drive programs allow development prior to formal competition licensing.

Q: How is a race car different from a track-day car?

A: Race cars are purpose-built for competition and include advanced safety systems, aerodynamics, data acquisition, and professional-level support not found in street-based track cars.

Who the CLRS Elite Driver Program Is Designed For?

The CLRS Elite Driver Program is designed for experienced track-day drivers who are ready to move beyond casual performance driving and into structured race-car development.

Ideal candidates typically demonstrate:

• Prior track-day experience

• Consistency and coachability

• Interest in race-level instruction

• A long-term desire to progress toward competition driving

The program is not intended for first-time drivers or casual track experiences.

How the CLRS Application Process Works

Because CLRS operates with limited capacity, all participants are reviewed through a private driver assessment.

The assessment evaluates prior experience, driving goals, technical readiness, and overall fit for race-car development. This process ensures that accepted drivers meet the professional standards required to operate real race machinery.
