The Novice Coach is a new driver’s guide to entry into the world of motorsports and is responsible for new enthusiast’s first track experiences. They set the tone for all of the driving the new driver will do from here on out. They run the novice drivers meetings and the post session briefings. They are the friendly face that encourages safe and fun driving, while facilitating group members to interact with one another.
