My review -

I participated in the school on 25/08/09 and must say that I learnt a lot. One good thing was that I was the only student that day so it was more of a 1 on 1 practice session with Jagat giving his inputs. The timing was from 9.30am to 1.30pm. We met at the FRK racing compound and Jagat covered the theory part of car prep, license requirements, over view of the role of co-driver etc. and safety requirements in the car. We then drove to get our practical started. It was about 5km from the garage. The total track being used was less than a 1km stretch on an open field with speeds touching top of second gear.

Since I was the only student, I got a lot of seat time with over 50 passes on the track and that allowed me to try out different styles (LFB, handbrake, feathering the throttle etc.) over and over again till I became confident on each and got to experience how the car reacts under each.

And of course watching Jagat drive was priceless

Overall I would rate it at 4.5 stars.

- The problem that i felt was that because there were about 8-9 corners to negotiate and with unlimited run throughs, I got better at negotiating them....part of which would be coz i was changing my driving based upon inputs give by Jagat and part was coz now i knew what to expect and started memorizing the corners.

My recommendations:

- Maybe a next level of school being held on actual stage road
- Create a longer program spanning over the weekend with more seat time and more close "rally-like" experience.
- This longer course could cost more but would help a driver to adapt to the ever changing conditions on an actual rally and also learn when to go flat out vs. when to nurse the car.

I would be the first one to sign up if such a course was offered.

Thanks again for a great day Jagat.

Thank you for the feed back Sumit.

We are working on the stage type of course.

This will be only after the students have gone through the novice course and certified to go into the finishing course.

In the mean time we are also putting together a karting school.

It should be up in a weeks time

The details will be up in a day or two.

Jagat, When would the next course be? Is there anything planned for maybe the second week or October? Maybe somewhere between 12th- 15th?

Cyrus, the school is on full time,except on Sundays and on INRC dates.

You let me know what date is OK for you and we will confirm the same.

Hi,
I attended Jagat Sir's rally training last week and i have to say it was just brilliant.
The advice sir gave us and the technique in which he made us rectify our mistakes on the track was so unique that i dont think i will ever commit the mistakes again

The best part was the fact that even though sir is such a pioneer and leader in the world of motorsports, he didnt have any hang ups in explaining the basics to a novice like me.

Sir also provided a very personal touch to the whole experience. It will always be one of the best days of my life and i thank sir a lot.

Also, i would no doubt recommend this training to all, however good you are in the world of rallying. There is a great deal to learn from Jagat Nanjappa.

Hello Jagat Nanjappa,

Please let me know when the next novice course is going to be held.

Hello Sir,

I would like to join the novice course so please reply me sir i am eagerly waiting for your reply.

Will let you guys know as soon as the rains stop.

Jagat's school I feel is especially nice since its mostly only a few people at a time which ensure you get to spend a lot of time with the instructor and car.

Great stuff!!

MR NANJAPPA, MAY I HAVE YOUR CONTACT NO? I NEED TO DISCUSS SOMETHING ABOUT TRAINING
