The 790-kilo carbon behemoth puts 300 hp on the road, flat underbody, barely any suspension, direct 6-speed shift, four-point seat belts, no roof, no trunk, zero comfort.
The full-day KTM X-BOW Basic course starts with theory, basic concepts of driving physics and forceful safety instructions, then it's off to the cars. The KTM X-BOW drive here with normal street tires, just as they would in normal road traffic. Practice part 1: targeted braking and slalom driving between sticks. Then cornering and finally, after a few laps, free driving behind the BMW of the instructor.
Individual courses, coaching and racing schools
Great thing, an you get an impression of what kind of job the racers out there actually do and what it feels like to get better, faster, safer and also a bit braver from lap to lap. If you want to race your own KTM car, you should book individual courses and ask your dealer about coaching and racing schools. Price: 490 francs for the KTM X-BOW Basic course (for TCS members, non-members pay 530 francs). There are also winter courses.
