Anybody been on a one to one performance driving course where they use the impreza, Having just purchased a new 4 door turbo i fancy attending one of the courses, to learn how to drive the car to its full potential, any details/experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Phil

Welcome to the club!

A few suggestions - join the SIDC (www.sidc.co.uk). Richard Grimes runs a skid pan handling course which you can attend - I hoping to do mine in a few months. I heard good things about 'The wetter the better' run by Driving Development (www.drivingdevelopment.co.uk). I know a few people on the BBS have been on this and rate it very highly.

On a personal note, I did a one day course with Drive and Survive and Subaru (competition prize). It was amazing to see what the car can do without the restrictions of the normal road - you won't be disappointed. Also, get yourself a copy of Evo Magazine as they normally have loads of track days / driving courses listed.

That should do to get you going, but I'm sure you wil get lots more replies.

Cheers

Chris

I've done the Mintex Rally Challenge at Drive-it-all in Church Enstone (nr Oxford) in Group 'N' RWD Corollas. The SIDC FAQ says that if you can get enough people together they'll do it in Imprezas.
