Allen Berg is a retired professional race driver from Calgary, Canada. His experience includes Formula One, Formula Two, Formula Three, Formula Atlantic, Sports Prototypes and Touring Cars.

His personal experience, gained in driving and running his team, Scuadra Fortia in the North American Toyota Atlantic Series gave him a thorough understanding of how the business of modern motor racing works. Berg also acted as in administrative capacity in organizing the very popular Formula Renault racing series in his home country.

Berg, who ranks among Canada's top racing personalities, won the Formula Pacific Tasman Championship, won at Silverstone against Ayrton Senna and Martin Brundle in perhaps the greatest year ever in British Formula 3, and qualified for nine starts in the 1986 FIA Formula One World Championship, a record bettered among his countrymen only by Gilles and Jacques Villeneuve.

And, to ensure that your experience at ABRS is truly unforgettable, GoPro onboard video camera footage for open lapping sessions can be available for purchase, to take home for bragging rights and future study.

Returning students, back for advanced training or special lapping sessions, always get more out of their visits by reviewing their last time at the school. "You never need to go back to 'square one' with our system," said school founder and former Formula One World Championship driver, Allen Berg. "Watching your previous laps and looking at the track data from your last time in the car puts a driver just that much more ahead - and in tune - when they come back to learn more, or to practice all the techniques that they've already acquired by doing some fast lapping."

Incredible opportunity to attend the Allen Berg 3-day Car Driving Racing School, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a team of professional instructors who were not only experts in their field but also incredibly passionate about helping each participant grow.The training was thorough, hands-on, and catered to all skill levels and ages. Over the three days, I learned invaluable driving techniques, ranging from cornering and braking to precision handling in high-speed scenarios. The combination of classroom instruction and on-track coaching was perfect. The coaches took the time to explain complex concepts and gave me personalized feedback that helped me improve with every session.What stood out most was how the coaching was tailored to my individual progress. They focused on building my confidence, correcting my habits, and pushing me to perform at my best. The environment was challenging yet supportive.I came into the school with a passion for racing but left with real-world skills, better control behind the wheel, and a deepened respect for the sport. This experience exceeded all my expectations, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refining your skills, this racing school is an absolute game-changer!
Allen Berg Racing Schools was one of the best experiences I ever had in my life. Everything is well designed, organized and you will have the best experience in the Formula Car program. I recommend this program 100% and hoping to come back soon. The team lead by Allen (F1) Jeff (Indycar) and an expert team based in the iconic track of Laguna Seca makes this program the best. Counting the days to come back!
I really enjoyed my experience at Allen Berg Racing School I met a lot of really great people and learned from the best there is I took the 3 day basic course and over those three days I was able to really get more out of the car and I was able to lower my lap times by a staggering amount I would 100% recommend this to anyone that is looking for a high paced and amazing experience
I had an excellent experience at the Allen Berg Racing School! Mr. Berg & his team were all friendly, very knowledgeable, & supportive! They’re well organized, and their priority is safety while still striving to give all the drivers as much driving time as possible.From all the equipment to the beverages and snacks available, there lunches were delicious, and the video reviews were wonderful, so each of us could see what areas to improve on. I highly recommend attending his course, and I plan to return to attend additional courses! Thank you to everyone!!
Dear Allen, Thank you for a spectacular weekend!Your Formula driving school and the team’s engagement shows how passionate you and your team are towards the Motorsport industry. The three-day event I attended allowed me to grow as a 13-year-old kart driver, I will be forever grateful for you and your team’s educational process, by teaching me skills I have learned race craft that will carry me for a lifetime. I will be coming back to continue my journey and build my driving skills and grow as a Motorsport athlete.Forever grateful, Cohen Duri
My 15 year old son attended the Allen Berg Racing School (December 13-15) as the first step in transitioning to racing cars from karts. Allen and his amazing coaches never waivered from their attention to driver safety. The teaching provided on and off track was exceptional. Review of individual driver video and data analysis was very helpful to my son. The overall experience was invaluable to my son!
Absolutely the best race school experence.Jeff the chief driving instructor is super qualified and relates extremely well to all levels. Nick and his grid crew could not be better, of course Allen Berg and Robin are ultra professional.GO LEARN OR HONE YOUR SKILLS WITH THE BEST!
Honestly words cannot fully capture how incredible the whole Allen Berg team runs their school. The barrier to entry for racing can be quite difficult, but the team does a great job helping you build the skills to feel confident around the track. All the instructors have little insights that can help shave time off during your runs (also appreciated the recs in Big Sur to check out after racing). I already know I’m coming back again!
