Baz,

Are you talking about Advanced driving as in the Institute of Advanced Motorists or a how to go faster course?

If IAM then contact them via their web site, Welcome to the IAM!, I did the Motorbike equivalent a few years ago and it really was worth doing, so I guess the same would be true for a car.

To go faster, then I would recommend Andy Walsh at Car Limits. A day with Andy at North Weald is a great day and however good you think you are, you will still come away having learnt something. Search on here and you will find nothing but good reviews on Andy.

Baz, regardless of whether you wish to do the official advanced course I insist you do a day with andy walsh. You'll learn more about driving with an hour with him than you'll ever believe.
