Default Tuition track days?

Does anyone have any links to a track day that offers tuition in the art of driving a four wheel drive vehicle on tarmac? I don't wish to use my own car and ideally the tuition will be given in a Subaru

Near London Berks would be good.

I can't think of anything as specific as what you are asking for that is available as a ready made package. It would be easy enough to take you car to a track day where there is tuition on offer but the use of a Subaru etc.,.. is a bit more specialised.

If you have a realistic budget to make this happen though I am sure something could be arranged.

You need to consider the costs will include;

Circuit fees (ie cost to book a Track Day)
Use of Car
Instructor
Insurance
Travel

Depending on the circuit and other variables such as the cost to insure you, you would be looking at between £750 to £1000 I would imagine.

I think you'll find Andy Walsh is somewhat more serious than an experience day aimed at Birthday/Xmas gifts.

The website isn't called 'Car Limits' for nothing and there's no 4K red line on Andy's courses like there is with some others.

Situated at North Weald a coup[le of miles from M11 J7 so handy for the OP as well.

Never meant anything bad about anyone elses schools / driving tuition.

I used to work at a driving school and we never gave our customers any limits except for their ability to drive.

I think the key factor here is budget. If you want to spend £1000 on a days tuition then isnt it obvious that a dedicated tuition lesson would be better than a £200 driving experience!
