WANT TO GET YOUR SCCA COMPETITION LICENSE? IT BEGINS WITH ALLEN BERG RACING SCHOOLS

Attending a racing school is a critical, required first step toward your racing activities. And be aware that not all racing schools are alike. The training methodologies and curriculum at Allen Berg Racing Schools (ABRS) have been carefully developed over the past 15 years by former Formula 1 World Championship driver and the school’s founder Allen Berg. Berg competed with Osella Alfa Romeo during the 1986 F1 season against the likes of Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, and many more. The renowned, extensive, and professional curriculum offered at ABRS has been accredited by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and allows those students who have successfully completed the course to obtain a “Certificate of Compliance”.

This certificate includes a clear recommendation of license level, which in most cases is “Novice”. ABRS graduates have 365 days after completion of their course to submit all of the required materials to obtain their permit, which will be supplied directly from the SCCA. Here are the steps required to take you from an ABRS racing school to competing on track in an SCCA event!

STEP 1 – Join the SCCA. You are required to be a member in good standing of the SCCA.?At some point prior to or at the time of your SCCA license application, you have to join the SCCA. Make sure to alert the ABRS chief instructor prior to the first on-track session that you wish to be assessed and to receive the required paperwork upon successful completion of your racing school program.

NOTE: Prior to attending your ABRS racing school, make sure to READ AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SCCA’s 2023 General Competition Rules (link here:?GCR?), paying special attention to the section on FLAGS. This is where you’ll also find information about specific vehicles as well as equipment requirements and standards.

NOTE: Students can qualify for their NOVICE license by enrolling in a 2- or 3-day program – please contact us to determine which program best applies to your situation. Also of note, those who successfully complete 5 days of ABRS training – one 3-day racing school followed by one 2-day ABRS Advanced program – can apply directly for a Full Competition License with the SCCA.
