History of Car Control School
We began Car Control School in 1989 as an offshoot of our racing school program.
It soon became evident that the control skills we teach students for competition apply to everyday situations as well.
We modified and expanded Car Control School to apply the skills of keeping a car under control while racing to every day driving situations.
Being safe on the highways and streets is all about controlling your vehicle—and controlling the driving situation around you.
No one knows car control better than racecar drivers. Our highly trained, handpicked instructors teach the car control skills that keep you safe in emergency situations—and make the difference between disaster and happy motoring.
It is our pleasure to pass on to our students all of our knowledge and skills to help you be safer and more confident drivers.
About Ian Law
Your chief instructor, Ian Law, has raced cars since 1984. Having won numerous Ontario Solo Championships (both in Solo I and Autoslalom) and 4 Canadian Autoslalom Championships, Ian now competes in the Ontario Touring GT Championships.
His success in racing can be attributed to his unique skills in car control as well as his analytical mind and keen perception. These talents blended perfectly into an invaluable package perfect for teaching.
He has driven almost every vehicle available, including Porsches, Ferraris, Vipers, and BMWs, at the racetrack and on the road.
His racing career also includes ice racing, which he began in 1988. Ian won the Ontario Ice Racing Championship and numerous class championships.
The techniques he learned and developed while racing on ice in front, rear, and all-wheel drive vehicles are valuable to drivers facing the task of driving in Canadian winters.
Currently, while not instructing students, Ian is a Driving Expert/journalist for the Toronto Star. You can catch Ian’s articles under the "Better Driving" headline on Saturdays in the Wheels section.
