Le Mans RDD Karting Course for 8 – 11 Year Olds
The Le Mans Rookie Driver Development program is the best place to start any racing career.
Every school term, we offer a 6-week program that covers what it takes to become a champion behind the wheel. Our Rookies program is run on Wednesday and Thursday nights after school on our Rookie track, which features our newest European made electric go karts!
The program is designed specifically for 8-11 year olds who are looking for a fun and interesting way to learn driving skills and provides a great opportunity to explore the fun and excitement of racing in a safe environment. Rookie Driver Development offers a similar curriculum to our famous LDA for the younger racers looking for a fun way to start racing.
What is covered in our 6 week Karting course for juniors?
We start with the fundamentals and safety of karting. Then we cover a range of important topics such as racing lines, which is figuring out the fastest way to get around the track, and all-important braking techniques. We look at interesting topics like race strategy & execution and cover how to work towards lap time consistency, practice race starts to test your racing readiness and have a lot of fun along the way! Rookie Driver Development sessions are run on the Rookie Track, in the Electric Karts. Given its Melbourne, we work on wet track skills & operate in most weather conditions, though we do have the added bonus of an awesome laser tag arena for those really wet nights to build some team skills if required.
Each session contains lots of driving with varying drills. Every week there is learning, practice, and of course, karting in a very safe and highly inclusive environment. We prioritise safety on the go kart tracks, ensuring everyone from beginners to seasoned drivers experience the thrill of karting with the utmost security.
At the end of term presentation everyone will receive a certificate recognising their hard work.
