Yes, something like this sounds ideal. From their website:
Smooth acceleration, cornering, balancing the car on the throttle, trailing throttle, trailing brake, left foot braking, what it feels like to experience understeer, oversteer and how to feel them and correct them, gear changing, heel and toe, skid control, spin avoidance and even how to control the rotation of your car and get it back inline from 90 degrees....
....to name but a few, along with some of the more entertaining, rather than educational manoeuvres.
That's exactly what I was trying to articulate in my original post. That is a proper trek though, if anyone knows anything similar up North, please let me know.
