    Hi

    back to the over limit course, are these run all year round? 

    Serious apologies Paul667 for the delay in coming back to you - I'm out of hibernation nowB) and can confirm that yes the Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling Course runs all year round.  

     

    I'll be getting the 2018 group training day calendar finalised over the next two weeks.  If you would like to have options for the forum this year let me know.

    I’d very much like to try and get something set up for us with you next year for more tuition days and possibly at a trackday too :)

    We can talk about 2018 dates as early as you like ... now we have the Dynamic Pad we can plan all the different variant of club days (Performance Driver 'Track' Day, Cornering Masterclass, Group Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling & Group Optimisation) with diary certainty.  Track days we'll need to wait for the organisers to release their calendars - usually December time.

  3. Thanks grumpyoldjanner & MarkSt for your balances - safely received.  Melvin P is going to join you, having signed up today in his track MR2 Roadster :)

     

    One place remains.  I'm offering it out on the CAT Facebook page currently and will go to other forums next week if there's no takers, once I'm back from Spa.

  4. Learn the secrets of over limit handling using your car and our Caterham 7.

     

    A 5.5 hour experience for 4 owners covering the building blocks of vehicle control at grip limit.

     

    A fast moving sideways experience. Designed to build on the skills learnt on the Performance and Cornering Masterclass club days or as an introduction to the techniques of over grip limit driving for the novice, our instructors will tailor the training to your level of experience.

     

    Understand and practice the building blocks of over grip limit driving. It is not just nailing the accelerator and relying on instinct. A drift is the culmination of many core skills polarized into one extreme exercise. All explained and demonstrated by your instructor and practiced by you.

     

    Enjoy the challenge of our very sideways Caterham, and experience the dynamic characteristics and capability of your own car as it realises its true potential at grip limit. Invaluable information for those owners wanting to maximise its potential and enjoyment of their car on track.

     

    Your training session will include presentations on:

    • Understeer
    • Oversteer
    • Lift Off Oversteer
    • Roll Oversteer
    • Weight Transfer at Turn In
    • Tyre Grip Trade Off
    • Identifying Grip Limit
    • Breaking Traction

     

    Your training will include an experience of a wetted as well as a dry surface on the Steering Pad at the Millbrook Proving Ground.

     

    There will also be a bottle of Champagne for the best Drifting God on the day.

    Trustpilot done :thumbs:

     

    Put me down for the Group Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling Course - I don't care when it is, I'm IN! :yahoo: 

    My zed had no chance at low down control in 1st or 2nd gear, and she hates being under 2k rpm - that's my excuse anyway.

     

    I ended up using half a tank of fuel on the day.  Quite impressive I thought, and was left just enough fuel to get home.

     

    Good luck getting your phone fixed :headhurt: 

     

    It's still ringing :wacko:

     

    You'll be in good company for those that have benefitted from our DOGLH course .... I didn't have permission to shout it from the roof on Saturday, but now do.  This is THE F1 Pat Symonds ... he researched & chose our course as it met his technical demands https://uk.trustpilot.com/reviews/59747219a64b41086cee27a3 

     

    To say we're chuffed to bits that he doesn't want anonymity and has taken the time to write a review would be an understatement :D

  7. Morning Everyone

     

    Sorry been trying to post up for the last few hours but it's another of those days ... doubly compounded by my phone deciding to ring constantly with a blank screen & no response to any button pressing.  It's in the drawer at the moment with my Christmas hat around it attempting to block out the previously liked ring tone :surrender:  The bad news on this is if, as I suspect, it is going to end up in the bin, all the photo's are still on it.  Deep breath :headhurt:

     

    Another lovely day spent with a lively enthusiastic bunch ... you are all lovely :teeth:

     

    Congrats to the winners:

     

    Driver of the Day = nissanman312

    End of Day Gymkhana Fastest Time of the Day = Super Stu

     

    :thumbs:

     

    Hope you all got home safely.  Your reviews above are lovely, thank you.  I have sent the Trustpilot review requests .. thank you nissanman312 for doing the honours so promptly :) ... be very grateful if the rest of you, plus the Wednesday crew will oblige and do the same for us.  

     

    If you would like options for the Group Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling Course let me know .. it's for a group size of 4 as a reminder.  There might be a September option, but more likely October.

    Realy looking forward to this now :)

     

    Where do we stand on bringing a freind or partner as a spectator is that allowed?

    Millbrook isn't set up for spectators, there's really not a lot to see.  All circuits are hidden from each other and they'll have a lot of waiting around.  They definitely can't sit in car as you're coming for a training day and it will just be you and your instructor in car, when it's your turn.  A reminder that photography is also not allowed.  Security will place seals over your camera lenses on your phones on arrival and take any other filming equipment from you.  There's plenty to do in Milton Keynes and surroundings if they want to go shop, walk, enjoy an activity while you're with us.
