About Fastlane Racing

Fastlane Racing is Perth's premier Formula Ford driving school, operating at Wanneroo Raceway and directed by former Formula One engineer Brett Lupton. The school puts participants in genuine open-wheel Formula Ford race cars with structured coaching that consistently delivers real, measurable improvement within a single session — a claim backed by a perfect five-star rating across every review received. Fastlane has coached elite motorsport talent including Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull Formula One), Garth Tander (V8 Supercars champion) and Leanne Tander (Australia's leading female motorsport driver), yet the philosophy is equally welcoming of pure novices and those who describe themselves as "nervous nellies." Programs range from introductory race experiences through to advanced driving sessions. Confirm current program formats and pricing directly via the website or by calling 1300 666 350.
