Hall of Fame - Formula Driving School

Welcome to our Hall of Fame! Check out our driving heroes—do you have what it takes to become a Formula Driving School Hall of Famer?

We know that it takes dedication and commitment to pass your practical driving test, especially on the busy streets of Sydney and its surrounding suburbs. That’s why we believe in seriously applauding students who have shown a determined will to win. These people have rolled up their sleeves, put 100% into preparing for the practical driving test, and passed their first attempt!

Driving heroes with this kind of fighting spirit can rightly take their place in our driving school hall of fame. With life membership, they know they’ve joined an elite group of drivers.

The unvarying rule never relies upon the goodwill of others or fortuitous circumstances but guarantees them through knowledge, persistent analysis, and defensive preparation.

When the men are well-trained, rested, properly fed, clothed, and equipped, if their spirits are roused, they will fight vigorously.

I’m so happy to have passed my driving test today (Yay!) and it's all thanks to Dmitri and Yaroslav! :-)

Dear... Dmitri and Yaroslav, thank you so much for teaching me how to drive, be careful and confident and actually enjoy the driving process. :-) I went into lessons very inexperienced and nervous. You were both very supportive, kind, understanding, super calm and professional at all times. You made the whole experience something to look forward to each time. I couldn't have wished for better instructors!

Once again, thank you so much the wonderful Dima and Slava and the Formula Driving School. Keep up the great work and enthusiasm! If there is some sort of award for being the awesome driving instructors, you definitely deserve it! :-)

See you on the road! ;-)

P.S. I’m actually a bit sad that we won’t be driving anymore. :-( I really enjoyed my lessons. :-)read more

What a fabulous experience my daughter Paris had with Formula Driving School. Dmitry and Slav are very experienced and professional and ensured she learnt all driving skills and passed her test. Their mock driving tests were especially beneficial. Highly recommend this driving school.

I passed my driving test last week, yay! All thanks to Formula and Yaroslav. Very professional, patient and kind; and I used to hate driving, but not anymore. I'm so much more confident and comfortable on the roads now because they don't just teach you how to pass the test, they give you the necessary knowledge on how to be a safe driver. So glad I went with the recommendation and highly recommend to others - these guys are top class quality driving school!

Dmitry is an outstanding driving instructor who taught me driving above and beyond what is required to be known for the test. His teaching attitude is absolutely exceptional as his approach is to help you steadily sail through all possible cavities. He has helped me out so much to boost my confidence to the new level which resulted in my successful test pass at the first attempt. In order to achieve it, I had to take just 20hrs of lessons in total, averaging 1.5 hours lessons once a week.My first lesson was more like the introductory one while the following ones were predominantly about understanding how to control the car and getting comfortable driving in residential areas. After several lessons we moved on to the main road where I began to learn interactions with other cars and rules of the road (priority, stop, give way, etc…). At the end, all the lessons were more about maneuvering and exam focused. I could continue to describe his brilliant way of teaching, but all I know is that I could not have passed the exam and become a safe driver on the roads without all his help and technical assistance.Undoubtedly, I would recommend Dmitry as a driving instructor.

I definitely recommend Formula Driving School to anyone, learning to drive, transferring the licence or just moving to another state. Good on you guys, you are doing an amazing job! I will miss my driving lessons!I’d also like to thank Dmitri and Formula driving school for such a professional and effective approach to my driving lessons- passed the exam with flying colours from the first time only after a few lessons. I really enjoyed the driving lessons with Dmitri, he is very personable, knowledgeable, understanding and flexible, just so great at what he does, I would never wish for any other instructor. I never felt rushed or unimportant, Dmitri really cares for you to pass the exam as soon as possible. He also gives a lot of useful information for everyday driving skills. Best school, best people!
