• Do a few laps following Jeremy. Please no passing. That will happen later
• Driving lines brief synopsis and ride along.
• Class goes out to drive in 5-10 second intervals using default setup. Q&A afterwards.
• Setup basics. Go over the order in which we start dialing it in ie Tires first and why
• Start building a setup
  
• Class goes back out to try the new settings to see how it feels. Q&A afterwards.
  
• Repeat setup and tweaking.
  
• Class goes out for 10 minute race.
• Final Q & A. Class dismissed.
