bttt as I want to know too.

Would love a performance training day and have been looking at some down south as I was going to make a weekend out of it with the other half, but I'd rather stay up north if i can as its easier.

Give Oulton Park a ring, I would think they`ll do some sort of training that`ll help improve your skills.

Also have a look at Prodrive Driver training, Castle Coombe Driver training, The wetter the better, 1stLotus Driver training just to mention a few.

as metioned above Oulton Park, Donington and Bedford Autodrome has Driver training Days)

Cost do vary but expect to pay £300+ for whole day sharing an instuctor 50/50-35/75

IIRC IMHO

Tony

ps very good value for Money IMHO

there's also a company called "driver coach" who provide a pro racing driver at any venue you choose.

me and a mate used one of them on the prodrive test track to get ready for a trip to the 'ring and was excellant

I've also done the 1st lotus day in a monsoon which was fun but spun alot!

www.rally-drive.co.uk can either let you out in their Scoob on their own private circuit for IRO 180 per half day (min 2 people midweek, not sure if it's 4 on saturdays) or you could use your car and have exclusive 1-1 training for 150 per half day. If you manage to get Howard (the owner) then you will be benefitting from over 30 years of international rallying experience.

YHPM on another option

Do a track day at Bedford and I will give you some driver training for nothing.
Just let me know when you are there.
