iDRIVE is a young driver training program that Whitsunday Sporting Car Club established in early 2014. The concept of iDRIVE is to introduce new juniors into the fun and exciting world of motorsport in a supportive and safe club environment. Participants, aged 12-17, can develop their driving skills to a level where they can confidently compete in the club level motorsport events.

iDRIVE is structured around the basic discipline of Motorkhana. Motorkhana’s are a great introduction to motorsport. They test a participant’s acceleration, braking and manoeuvrability skills in a variety of small tests marked out by traffic cones off regular streets or roads and other traffic.

Our experience shows that young drivers who learn car handling skills in an off road safe controlled environment are less inclined to learn the limits on the public roads. Our club has 4 small hatchbacks to use as the iDRIVE training cars and participants will have a driver trainer in the car with them at all times.

Each event is set out to cater for individuals and participants will improve their driving skills if attending all four iDRIVE training sessions.
