Hi Jef,
If you come to any of my days, you will get a free session of tuition included in the price of the day. I have just revised some of my prices as follows
mallory £130
Cadwell £130
Anglesey£130
Teesside £85
see www.apextrackdays.co.uk for more details, but they are all open pit lane events. If you wanted additional tuition and the instructors are available, which is fairly likely particularly at Cadwell when we will have two, the charge will be an additional £25 per session.
Regards
Mike

Maxx (Malcolm Edeson) FTW.
I hired his services for a day out at Snett a while ago and have to say it was the best money I've ever spent.
Having a 20 minute session with one of the TDO's instructors is quite good, But you'll never get proper feedback and analysis from the session in that time!
I thought I was the bees knees at track driving before tuition, But was soon brought back down to earth by Maxx and basically had to learn to drive (on track) all over again.
Whoever you choose for proper one on one tuition, It'll be money very wisely spent

I have done trackdays, as a driver for years and have never had tuition. Typical attitude of thinking I was a good driver. Yesterday I went out with David Da Costa, my instructor at Castle Combe. He was fantastic and all the other people who also went out with him could not believe the lines and how much quicker they were after. Well worth it.

I've done track days. I've done track day with supervision and tuition with several "instructors". Some were good some were up their own A Holes. But nothing, and i mean nothing compared to a day with Andy Walsh on an airfield. There are no potential hazards so nothing to crash into. Absolutely worth it. Impreza..... an extra 100bhp or a day with Andy Walsh??

I am also doing a scheme whereby all participants at our forthcoming day at Mallory on 21 April will get a voucher entitling them to 10% off the remaining days we will hold this year.

Learn to drive your car, Not the track. It's way more advantageous and the better understanding of what your car can do carries overs to every day driving on the road.

Don't confuse driver training, with a session with a tutor learning a specific circuit...

P.S. I enjoy taking mine on a rallycross circuit to "push" it harder than I do on the road.
