Event · November to February
Winter Training
Greece
Train while it is winter break at home: We are on site with our entire team and organise most of the operations ourselves. Put your training together completely online - from the date to your storage spot.
Why winter training
Simply drive away from winter
When the season ends at home, ours is only just getting started. While the local tracks sit in their winter break, we move our training to where the driving carries on: a race track in Greece. Four dates between November and February, organised by a team that has been at home in international motorsport since 2007.
The principle is simple: we bring the cars, mechanics and equipment to the track, and all you really need to bring is yourself. Whether it is your first track day or focused preparation for the coming race season, whether you drive your own car or one of our cup cars: you put your training together in the configurator, we take care of the rest.
The track
Serres Racing Circuit
The training takes place at the Serres Racing Circuit in northern Greece, south-west of the town of Serres in the Omonia sports park. Thessaloniki airport is around an hour and a half away by car. Opened in 1998, it is the largest race track in Greece and the only one in the country that meets the construction requirements of the FIA and FIM. It is designed for races up to Formula 3.
Over 3,186 metres, the 662-metre start-finish straight is followed by 16 corners, nine of them with a radius of just 40 metres. That makes the track technically demanding and ideal for working on your line, braking points and rhythm. The surface was last renewed in 2021.

On site
How your training day runs
A well-drilled team is waiting for you at the track: our mechanics look after the cars right in the pit box, check tyre pressures, help you strap in and keep an eye on the car. If you want more, add the Advanced Track Support, with wheel alignment and intensive technical support from our team.
The driving takes place in open sessions: you share the track with the other participants of the training and set your own pace. Between sessions there is time for setup questions, data analysis and petrolhead talk in the pit box, and in the evening for sauna and pool at the team hotel.
With our rental cars the track hire is already included. With your own road car you drive for 200 € per day.
