This first stage of the KTM X-Bow series involves classroom time learning baseline skills, then hands-on time at the 2.52-mile Sonoma Raceway course. Test your skills with dynamic car-control exercises and four 30-minute lapping sessions both behind-the-wheel as well as from the right seat with your driving coach. By day’s end, you’ll be a confident X-Bow pilot.
