Owner Arrive and Drive Program – Participants will purchase their own RUSH SR-1 car. The car will be stored at our facilities in Houston, receive a full preparation for the event and shall be transported to and from the event. We will then provide a series “Tent”, paddock spot and a mechanic shared between 3 cars. Drivers and their mechanic will have access to the series set-up pads and tools, series driver coach and data analyst. Each paddock spot will be a 20’ x 20’ spot with 2 tables and chairs. A series hospitality area with refreshment, snacks and a cold cut lunch will also be provided.
This program has been designed to allow drivers the “Fly-in Experience” in a friendly club environment, yet participate in a highly competitive and high-performance series at a fraction of the cost of some of the traditional arrive and drive race programs. Indeed, an owner can purchase their car and participate in the entire championship for less that a single race in one of the other recently launched arrive and drive series!
