Rob Wilson has been recently declared by F1 Racing Magazine to be racing's premier driving instructor.

Rob provides his coaching services to drivers and teams of various series including F1, GP2, Aussie V8, WRC, Porsche Supercup, F3, Palmer Audi and Formula Renault.

Mr. Wilson not only coaches some of the world's top drivers, but he also possess a 30+ year racing resume including a large number of race wins. He has raced successfully against the likes of past World Champions Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet in Formula 3, and most recently won the FIA "World Endurance Touring Car Championship" in 1999.

He currently spends most of his time competing in select races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 at Daytona, evaluating F1 drivers for Honda Racing and Red Bull Racing, or training future World Champions for the Raikkonen-Robertson F3 team.

Rob's knowledge and experience has been applied to the new Eagles Canyon facility such that the track is challenging and competitive for drivers and teams from all types and classes of professional racing series. Drivers have the opportunity to leverage features such as camber and elevation changes, multiple racing and passing lines through tight corners, and blind approaches and exits.

Mr. Wilson currently bases his training operation for up and coming drivers at the former Royal Air Force facility at Bruntingthorpe, 10 miles south of Leicester, U.K.
