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.

Completion of Stage 1 qualifies you to join Stage 2 the very next day! Already familiar with the car’s capabilities, you’ll be challenged to push its limits — and your own. You’ll practice vehicle rotation, trail braking and cornering techniques. Then, you’ll return back to the raceway for even faster lapping sessions.
