David Tuaty, owner of TLM Racing, teaches car enthusiasts how to become Race Car drivers.
PALM BEACH GARDENS – When it comes to fast cars and cool rides, driver coach David Tuaty is a dream maker.
“We make race car drivers,” said Tuaty, the owner of TLM Racing and a longtime professional race car driver who runs a race car driver school in Miami. “We have a full time racing team and a racing shop.”
And whether you’re a kid, or an adult who stills FEELS like a kid, Tuaty can teach you to race.
Florida Fine Cars caught up with David at a recent Cars and Coffee Palm Beach auto show at the Palm Beach Outlets Mall to find out more.
Racing School Offers Instruction to Drivers of All Ages and Skill Levels
“I have 14, 15 and 16 year olds who want to be the next superstar,” Tuaty said. “We take them to the track and do regular track days.”
Tuaty’s own racing career began in SCCA Amateur road racing. He went on to win the SCCA Endurance Championship series in 1998. Currently, he has two wins in the Koni Challenge Series along with eight podiums. He also has a win and second place as driver and team owner of SCCA pro Trans Am series.
TLM racing offers everything from BMW and Porsche Racing, driver coaching, race car rental, race car prep and a teen academy.
Would-be race car drivers can rent a track privately or piggyback with a track day for a private organization and share the instructor.
Depending on where the student lives and track availability, students may drive on tracks anywhere from Homestead to Palm Beach, Daytona, Sebring and Fort Lauderdale.
“You call it, arrive and drive,” Tuaty said. “You come with your helmet and you leave with your helmet.”
Racing School Offers Special Instruction and Safety Tips for Teen Drivers
One of the family-friendly offerings at TLM is a teen driving academy held at Homestead Miami Speedway that offers one on one car instruction and classroom sessions and promises to teach proper braking, accident avoidance, car control skills, situational awareness and emergency lanes changes.
The crew from TLM Racing answered questions about their racing school during a recent Cars and Coffee meet.
The TLM website notes that 16-year-old drivers have a higher crash rate than drivers of any other age. The next teen driving academy is scheduled for July 21, 2108.
The driver coaching program offers professional instructors and features high tech GPS Data technology that provides instant feedback to help drivers correct techniques while driving. Instruction is custom-tailored to each individual driver.
Under the race car rental program, would-be race car drivers receive professional track support and video coaching throughout the weekend. Drivers can race in any of TLM’s winning and proven Porsche GT3 Cup cars or BMWs, including the BMW E46 M3, BMW E46 325i, BMW E36 325i, BMW E30 325i and Honda Civic Si.
TLM also offers race car preparation services, ranging from full maintenance to cage, paint, seats, suspension, software and safety.
