Driver training @ North Weald
There's a space left on the 11th of October if anyone is interested, I've booked a place, so thought I'd let you lot know, in case anyone else wants to play.
price is £170
Some details from the website:
</FONT></FONT>Some of the Topics available are:
The use of the controls, smooth acceleration, modulated braking, rotational steering, cornering, balancing the car on the throttle, the use of trial braking, trail lifting, understeer, oversteer, lift-off oversteer, gear changing, heal and toe, skid control, spin avoidance and control techniques....
....to name but a few, along with some of the more entertaining, rather than educational, manoeuvres.
No one will be asked to do anything they are not happy with, except leave at the end!
The course has to be conducted in a safe controlled manner to ensure safety and enjoyment.

Rather than paying that price why don't you ask Spec C to teach you how to do corners he's good at them.he he he he he

The only reason I spun off at Silverstone was to provide the crowd with some entertainment, I meant to do it, 'onest
Can't wait for this, got a set of tyres lined up, ready to replace the ones on the car after they get ripped up and shredded
Phil, are you in league with Nate? as he's trying harder and harder to get me to go to Snetterton as well

The S2000 has a real kick when changing from 2nd to 3rd at high revs

Hi Cornelius
I have never seen this thread before and would have loved to have gone! Bugger!
Do you use your car or one of theirs?
and how easy is it to book?

what a day
Andy Walsh is something else!! can he handle a car!!!!
I was there with a Lotus Elise, Honda S2000 and a Mazda MX5, crapped me pants a couple of times!!
You basically got to "unlearn" what you learnt for your driving test, and develop new techniques for steering, braking and accelerating.
I'm definately going again, perhaps next time we could do a ESC day!
