Such a bad ass place to drive awesome cars with awesome instructors. If you ever get the chance to go - TAKE IT.

Steven Kok

Nice raceway, had a company meeting here. They have tons of corvettes here for you to choose. Personally I did not drive for this event but a lot of my co-workers were there. I came for the later part of the meeting and participate in their awards ceremony. But from what I see and hear from my friends that night. They all have a blast!

I did the GPR-4, which is a 4 day class. The first 3 days are spent driving a Driver TA 2.0 (or something really close to that) and the last day is on a Formula Madza car, which is insanely fun! Yes, it is expensive but if you bought a Viper or Hellcat (I believe the Hellcat qualifies) Bondurant gives you $1000 discount, which is really not bad at all. The first day is mostly about concentration, braking, accident avoidance and vision. The next 3 days are on the track. If you are expecting a lot of track time, you'll find that they meet your expectations. I didn't count how many hours of seat time I got per day, but I don't think I ever drove that much even during an open track day. That's really a lot of driving. The instructors are all top notch and they are either racers or have been racers and they do know what they are talking about. Of course, it's all following the Bob Bondurant philosophy on driving but it works. I'll most likely go again and do the advanced road racing class which is even more expensive, but according to other people I know who have done it, that's well worth it. The staff was excellent, the photographer at the event was great too. Overall, something to put on your bucket list if you like riving.

Bob Coudret

Outstanding. I just went through the Corvette driving class last Saturday with my 2 sons. The instructors we very professional, everyone was extremely safety conscious and there was no high pressure to buy anything else like pictures or souvenirs (they don't even take pictures). They are there to teach you safe driving techniques and that is what they do. Each step is well planned. One day just wasn't enough. I hope to attend a longer class in the future. Highly recommended for the adrenaline junkie.

Awesome place! It was better when they had the Mustangs but it's still great!

Terry H

Was lucky enough to get to do the 1 Day Performance Driving Class and it was an absolute blast! We got to drive Brand New HellCat Redeyes and I couldn't be more impressed with this experience! William & BJ are great instructors and they made our experience fun and amazing! Thank you!

Michael Brinson

I did the 3-hour Kart racing deal here (on Friday) and it was awesome! Very expensive, but if you can afford it, there really is nothing like it for a racing experience. Well... there are other, more expensive things you could do with real race cars (as opposed to karts), but at this price level, this is the best you can get.

I took a 1 day defensive driving course there and it was a fantastic experience. They teach you everything you need to know about driving defensively on the road. The best part was this Cadillac they have that has these 4 little wheels attached to a large frame under the car and it can raise the car to simulate a loss of traction for a wet or icy road. That alone in my opinion was well worth the money, it's something very important to know how to handle when you actually encounter the real thing. Plus I got to get my certificate of completion from and a picture with the big man himself, Bob Bondurant! Overall fantastic experience, I will definitely be going back out there again sometime to do some of their other stuff out there.

Bondurant is a Five Star driving school! The Grand Prix Racing 4-day course was exceptional. They took an average car guy (me) with average "sporty" driving abilities and by the end of day 4 was in control of a formula mazda car, on track, at speed. Leading up to that point we gained the fundamental skills in a logical module based program while driving a new Dodge Viper as well! What to expect; They will drill everything into you in separate class modules with eqaul classroom and driving time, 8 hours per day, 4 days straight. accident avoidance training, heel-toe drills, track time, wheel to wheel race starts, and hours of lapping sessions with no speed limits! Its a great training system that turns real results in the short time there. The instructor-student ratio was 1 to 3 for this class. The instructors were all great, very patient and helpful and often entertaining (in one case we all went for what can only be described as a hollywood getaway scene van ride, haha!). I'm considering going back for a more advanced course after I've worked on my driving a season or two, getting back into a formula mazda might take me a little track time to work the cognitive tempo up to it again. It's intense! Important Notes: Bondurant treats you like an Adult. ...And it's a business, and they make lots of money. Some previous reviews seem to hint they don't approve of that. Anyways, Bondurant won't tell you exactly how they want you to drive, but instead teach fundamental skills and allow you to explore the absolute limits with a good bit of one on one coaching in-car. Also, in treating you like a grown up and operating like a business, if you push the cars to far past the limit and wad it up you will be forking out the cash to fix it! Remember, insurance is an optional add-on here with a very high deductible. You are expected to take care of the vehicles within reason and fix what you break. It could very well cost you more than the entire class. !Ask about the insurance up front. You are on track with other students of varying skillset, driving $100k cars, many people didn't think about it, and that can bite! Summery: This course is hard core, it's challenging, it's rewarding and it's expensive; especially if you crash! The faint at heart or those on a budget may consider the basic performance driving classes first, they seemed a little more layed back but were still teaching many of the same principals on an open autocross course with nothing to hit, and no risky wheel to wheel racing like the 4-day event! Hope this review helps someone out there. *edit 5/2018, wanted to reiterate two years later it's still a memorable highlight of my life. My own photos taken there or taken of me. :)

Had a great experience Tyler was a awesome instructor we learned alot had tons of hands on training recommend this to anyone

Spouse bought me a sampler package for my birthday. Started out on a brisk morning with classroom instruction, always a good foundation, and we then went to part one of four - emergency avoidance using Solstice roadsters. You accelerated in the middle of three lanes, and then the lights in yours turned red and one of the other two turned green - and you had to swerve in to that lane. But using a specific technique we were shown produced amazing results. Watching my fellow classmates, you could tell by the body motion of the car when they nailed it. We then got into Corvettes and did a timed autocross. Lots of fun, and while I was just mid-pack on time, at least I didn't take out any cones. Then it was on to my favorite - the road course, where we did lead and follow driving a Cadillac CTS-V. The instructor went ahead of us, and we followed exactly, braking and accelerating and taking the same racing line. Very cool, as the car got up to good speeds but always felt in control and smooth. Smooth is fast! Finally, we did a kart race around a small oval. Your tush is practically touching the ground, and even moderate speeds feel like greased lightning. I actually spun on one lap, no harm. These were not the full shifter karts, which can hit 100 in 6 seconds and which Formula One drivers start their careers on. Bondurant offers those too, of course if you are interested. That said, the kart I drove as part of the sampler was more than fast enough. And I love speed. It only had front - no rear brakes, something I wish I had known. Still might have spun it anyway. Bob himself came by for the kart portion, with Patricia alongside, which made for a great finish to a great day. Highly recommended, instructors know what they are doing and offer constructive help. Lots of fun, lots of laughs, and lots of thrills. And you will be a better driver - no matter which course you take. Update: Apparently financial challenges may have spelled the end of this legendary driving school.

Just got back from the Demon Experience at the Bondurant Racing School. The staff were friendly, extremely knowledgeable, understanding and patient. Had the BEST time! Burning tires off someone else's Demon and driving down an NHRA sanctioned 1/4 mile track at 100+ MPH for the day! Most fun you could ever have with your clothes on! LOVED IT! GREAT JOB!

The greatest instructors! Shout out to William who lead us to great time! #SRTexperience

Time of my life! I took a one day course, and ended up going back twice because I had so much fun. More importantly, I learned. I had already done several HPDE days, but soon realized I wasn't as good as I thought I was. Be prepared to sweat a little if you go in the summer. You'll get frequent breaks to hydrate, bathroom, etc. Instructors are very knowledgeable and talented. The courses aren't cheap, but when you factor in tires, fuel, instructors...tons of other things, it's worth it. I also got to meet and chat with Bob himself. The skills taught at Bondurant saved my life (Looking further ahead, along with avoidance while in ABS braking) when I was able to narrowly avoid a drunk driver running a stop sign, who would have impacted my driver's side door at 60 + mph. He ended up crashing through an apartment complex to my right, going though a block wall and impacting a few trees before coming to a stop against a building (attached photo) more than 75 yards from where I avoided him. Driver was severely injured. I drove home alive and completely unscathed, but shaken from the close call. Thank you Bob, and crew. I owe you all much more than my simple gratitude...

The instructors are all good but I would stay away from doing a group or corporate event with Bruce. Also, note that if you use Apple maps it will bring you to a different location. Apparently, we were some of the only customers that rely on technology to get to a location we are unfamiliar with. Lastly, I will say it was overall a fun event and the facility and vehicles were nice. BTW - I believe the rave review below me is from the Melissa that works at Bondurant.

Tanner Jardine

Was in town for some meetings. Ended up stopping by to kill some time and got to do some hot laps with the instructor William. Man that guy can drive! It was a super fun exciting experience and now I am wanting to go back just to do the 4 day school.

Dave Smith

Completed the 4 day GPR class today and had the best time of my life. Our instructors, BJ, Will and Tyler, were not only extremely nice people, but highly accomplished racers. All were very considerate of all drivers and their varying abilities. The education is top notch, as well as their equipment. If you want to improve your driving skills, this is the place.

Ed Wheaton

The most fun I’ve had in the last decade! OK, quit thinking about the price. Seriously, just stop! You’re shredding a $2,000 set of high performance race tires on a $70,000 race prepped Dodge SRT Hellcat (Ka-Schwing). You’re not restricted like other schools, just warned not to bend it by exceeding your skill level. Yup, that’s the goal. Go fast! Every time you take a classroom break to review what you’ve learned, a team of mechanics checks your car, adjusts tire pressures, checks it’s vitals, tops it off with fuel, cleans the glass, etc. They are like gremlins, you don’t really see them, you just know it happened, because, well, it just does. So back to price for a second. Are you really going to buy a $70k car, mount and balance race rubber, go to a track, then shred it? Can you even get on a track? Do you have your own team of mechanics? Do you have a professional instructor like Mike, Will, or Tyler to tweak your craft? My guess is, no, you don’t, won’t, can’t. Do you have the equipment and training to practice drifting, accident avoidance, skid control, throttle steer? Cones? Lots of cones! A race track? Any safe and legal area to practice? Again, my guess is no. Last question, and this is pretty deep. How much would you write a check for to bring someone back that wasn’t trained and made a mistake? Yeah, priceless. We shopped schools for almost 2 years before taking the plunge. We did the 4 day racing school that ended with the Formula Mazda’s. OMG! What a great learning experience. Even if you’re fast, you’ll leave faster. Even if you’re good, you’ll leave better. Even if you’re safe, you’ll leave safer! I can’t stress this enough. What you learn here, will last you a lifetime and most likely, save your life at some point with today’s distracted drivers and the cell phone epidemic. Just do it, take the plunge, I promise you will not regret it. A special thanks to Mike McGovern for making this so special for Jack and myself. Tyler for the structure, Will for the laughs. We will be back, setting up a piggy bank now to save. Thanks again, Ed W.

When they told us we were going to take a driving course I wasn't excited and thought it would be boring. It was the best part of my day. We were driving brand new 2017 Hemi Hellcats, and they are fast, even with the air on. Another highlight of my day, got to meet Mr. Bob Bondurant himself. After time trials, we took a guided drive on a race course. This was all done on our own, there was no guide in the car with us. If you get the chance, I highly recommend this one!

Excellent experience

Jackie Wszalek

So Cool!!

Michael Moreau

If you are looking for the best keep looking. Also, if you would enjoy being worked like a slave for 8 hours a day come join in and work here. In 2011 I got paid $8 an hour to bust ass while most others were sitting in the break room eating big lousy burritos. Yeah, it is fun to race(If given the chance) but the price is way too much- it was back then and I imagine it's more today. But, you know, if you enjoy eating Costco cake to celebrate Bob every year then work here. What they need is a heart for all staff and some opportunities fur the people as well. A little driving time doesn't make up for a year and a half of typical bs. Try Miller Park or Laguna Seca for some racing and maybe you will meet some top notch "Instructors" who actually pay attention when they walk through the pits or the garage.

Great experience. My son and I were there last winter. Going again in January for the two day school. Really great instructor. Cars were in excellent condition. And fast as hell!

Training at Bondurant is not a goof off, playtime joke. There is serious classroom time to learn serious theory, early starts, long days and thorough testing. I have done other high performance/advanced driving courses before. but this was by far the most technical and demanding. I took a 4 day course with a Professional group. The most valuable improvement in my driving is a much more heightened awareness of vehicle dynamics. I can feel the weight distribution of my vehicle change now as I change speed and direction. After driving the Bondurant vehicles mine feels like a boat, but I can drive it a lot better. And if I ever have to do a reverse 180 at 40 miles an hour, no problem.

I came to Bondurant for the free one day course after buying my Hellcat. What an amazing time! I learned how to better control my car, and had the time of my life while doing it this course should be a must for anybody that drives. I will definitely be back for a longer paid course. Thanks for a great time Bondurant!

Mr. L

Stopped by Bondurant yesterday (they had students running autocross in some type of course, which was great to see)...I talked with one of the instructors...they are still open for now & trying to restructure the company. They will have a tough time pulling up from the nose dive initiated from the ousted regime/management but from the ashes something might be reborn....please pass this info along and support them in any way you can during this difficult time. Best wishes to Bob and the remaining employees! Cheers!

Went there on 08/23/2019 for the Abarth Track Experience. It was such a fun time. Their Fiat 124’s are in great shape! I was able to learn so many new things and so many things that my car could handle. The instructor, Will, was great and explained everything thoroughly.

Peter Silverstein

Shannon West

Wow, mind blowing!!!! Wonderfully fun safe learning experience! Great, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable staff!!!!

Joshua Purcell

Good experience overall. I bought a new hellcat Redeye and it included the SRT experience. The instructors were excellent, staff was very friendly and the content was good stuff. Couple things I wished...one, they didn’t have the actual car model that I purchased. I was thinking I was going to get to drive and learn all about the Redeye. The other thing that I was really hoping is that they would actually teach us all the race apps and how to use them, let us try those out. Like line lock, launch control, etc. It’s all good! I had a great day. My favorite part was getting to actually drive the hellcat for several laps on the track! Awesome! Also, riding with the pro! WOW! I didn’t have any idea how fast and powerful it is!

Tim Bassler

I won a trip from a vendor to this school. It was an amazing experience! Met the founder and watched him drive hot laps in a vet.

Patrick Rummerfield

I’ve been to many high performance driving schools. Once or twice a year I return to the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving to refine my driving skills. The driving instructors like the facilities are world class. Patrick Rummerfield

Absolute worst customer experience. This company can't even track you in their system. I tried to book a gift certificate for 2 years and it was a nightmare. Each person I spoke with had no idea what the last person told me. I can't speak for the driving experience but the customer service for booking is awful. The only good news is we got our $1500 back.

Stephen Davis

Took a two day class. Learned a lot. Like anyone who's ever taken these courses I would have liked more track time, or at least the opportunity to get in a few more laps...Priced per lap. About 3K for the two day course. It is about 1.5K per day, they have 1,2,3, and 4 day classes. A bit pricey but worth it. Good instructors, cars are in excellent condition. The take the "School" part serious, and teach you things you can leave with.

This one day school was amazing. The atmosphere was fun, the cars were cool but I think the best thing was the staff. From the young lady, Katie, that answered the phone when I called to schedule all the way through the instructors, the staff, everybody was great. The instructor that taught our class, Mike, had an incredible attitude and was very, very patient as he worked with this country boy that had no idea what a transneaker was. Class act from start to finish.

Ron Baker

I took the 4 day Grand Prix Racing program. Excellent, serious racing preparation. Race theory and car control are taught in the classroom and drilled into you on the track. You perform repetitive exercises to learn heel/toe sifting, emergency race avoidance maneuvers and apex exercises. Official races were held between our group where we had to react correctly to the flags thrown. The instructors are racers and very good, they rate your performance daily. A couple guys brought their personal rides (Ferrari, Aston Martin) and worked a deal to take them on the track, awesome. I stayed at the fantastic Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa, right across the street from the racetrack. My driving skills increased dramatically and it was the best time I've ever had. Highly recommended.
