The Phil Wicks MINI Driving Academy serves one vision - to help our students be better MINI drivers.  We’re not a racing school.  But we are much more than a performance driving school.  Performance driving is an integral part of our curriculum due to the nature of the MINI’s  legendary performance envelope.  But our principal purpose is to help our students be better MINI drivers – on the street and, as it is the best and safest place to learn the basics of performance driving, on the track. 

More than 50% of the students who attend the Phil Wicks MINI Driving Academy have never been to a driving academy of any sort.  They have never driven on a racetrack.  But they have most likely recently purchased a MINI Cooper or MINI Cooper S and found that the superb handling of the car unlike any other they have ever experienced.

The Phil Wicks MINI Driving Academy was designed with you in mind. 

Phil and his staff will help each student, at his/her own pace; gain a better understanding of the tremendous handling capability of the MINI.  It is indeed one of the world’s best handling cars on the market at any price and because of the affordability of the MINI, never before has this level of world class handling been put into the hands of “everyday” drivers. Most of us don’t drive Ferraris, Porsches or other world-class performance cars.  At the Phil Wicks MINI Driving Academy we’ll teach you how to “handle the handling” so to speak, bringing your driving skill to a level better suited to the MINI’s capability.  In the process, we’ll help make every MINI driver a better driver, a safer driver and one who enjoys his/her MINI to the MAX every day and every mile of the MINI owner journey.

Once you experience the MINI Cooper in this controlled and safe environment, you’ll want to come back hopefully, again and again.  To not only gain additional skill to meet the increased levels of driving performance, but also share in the camaraderie of the experience with other MINI owners.  We all love the MINI and our passion for the brand pushes us to discover all there is to experience with the iconic brand.
