Dancing scooby
#1
I have advanced to a sti from an mr2 turbo.Those of you with experience will know it is a rapid car but with grip levells far lower than that of a scoob. In real world terms this means you can get to the limit at relativly road safe speeds.Not so in a scoob.
What is the best driver training course so i can make my scoob dance as i could my mr2.
Your experiences would be helpfull.

To make it dance like a MR2, first you need to disconnect the front wheel drive.
Seriously, the Don Palmer Wetter the Better course seems to be a good start and only has praise on this BBS. Don't have the website URL handy, but someone will....cue someone

I would also recommend any of the top rally schools.
Except for Bill Gwynne's school you don't do the driving in Imprezas, but you do learn about "scandinavian flicks", pendulum effect and controlling a car with throttle, brakes and steering being of equal importance. Most importantly, you learn from the mistakes you make in the school's cars, not your own.
If you do a school course, Bill Gwynne's probably ranks tops, then it would be between Phil Price and Drive It All, primarily because these schools use rear wheel drive cars. RWD is much closer to a Scooby than FWD.
To get the most out of it, I would do Driving Development after you have done a rally course.
I believe SDB is still an occasional instructor at Drive It All.

Driving Development - you use your own car and tyres. The surfaces are all low friction (wet cobblestones etc), so wear is (allegedly) minimal.
All
Can I also mention The Forest Experience as a good rally school - I'm just a satisfied customer (about 3 yrs ago), no connection with them etc etc
