The ‘Bronze’ Course – Performance Road Development

Driving sessions are based around half and full days depending on your requirements. Prices are £100 for a half-day and £175 for a full day.

Part 1

The first part of the Course focuses on building a strong foundation of performance driving by revisiting the basics of car control such as mirror usage, steering, braking, gear changing and acceleration sense. During this period we also introduce the principles of the “System” of Vehicle Control.

Part 2

The second stage concentrates on implementation of the “System” during overtaking, cornering, commentary driving and the correct and safe use of speed in national speed limited areas such as motorways, dual carriageways and country roads.

Part 3

The third stage pulls it all together. Overtaking practice sessions are carried out using two vehicles, both drivers being fully briefed on the safety requirements of the session. Two-way radios are used as an added safety feature.

The ‘Gold’ Course – Track Day Novice

You are about to sign up for your first track day, you want to be confident, enjoy the experience and drive to your full potential. What you don't want is to fall off and be a mobile chicane !

You would like to bring your car home in one piece and have a system to work to on track that allows you to lap quickly and safely as you build your skill, confidence and speed.

This is a fast-moving, highly focused course, providing an introduction to the art of high speed circuit driving. Speed and consistency are by-products of good technique.

It is not magic, just a systematic approach.

These sessions are 4 hours long with 3 hours of track tuition in your car at the Millbrook Proving Ground.

The ‘Platinum’ Course – Track Day Intermediate

Enjoyed a few track days and have lots of unanswered questions?
Getting passed by lower-powered cars ?
Passing them on the straights but being caught up in the corners?

Driving at speed requires knowledge, commitment and understanding of how a vehicle behaves when the limit of grip is reached. Driving on the limit is a core skill and one that is often learnt by the inexperienced - painfully.

This session is designed to tune you, the driver, into the language of a vehicle driven at speed. Motor Industry evaluation training exercises married to circuit driving techniques, complemented by in car vehicle dynamics presentations - a unique combination to raise your confidence, knowledge and reduce your lap time.

These sessions are 4 hours long with 3 hours on track tuition in your car at the Millbrook Proving Ground.

The ‘Ultimate’ Course – Track Day Race Driver

Enjoyed many track days and/or have racing experience ?
Like to fine tune your technique to minimise your lap time and maximise your speed ?

Or perhaps, now with all of that hard-won experience you would like to fine tune the vehicle set up and can't quite get the perfect balance to give you those few precious extra seconds.

This session, hosted by our fully approved Association of Racing Driving Schools (ARDS) instructors, will stretch you, your technique and your ability to communicate with your vehicle at speed.

Briefings in vehicle set up, coupled with over grip limit exercises designed to challenge both you and your car, your instructor will work with you, fine tuning your inputs, assisting in the understanding of the sensory messages fed back through the controls to you the driver.

These sessions are 6 hours long at the famous Silverstone Racing Circuit.

Why not develop your skills even further with a high speed racing demonstration and instruction in our fully prepared, brand new Caterham R400 ?
