performance car lessons

[DaJimstar]

Hi, I am not ashamed to admit, I would like proper racing lessons in my 350z as I know I need to learn how to drive the car properly on its limit (not on the road) at airfield days etc. Does anyone know any teachers in all things racing line, transmission, breaking and steering when it comes to performance cars.. I am reqdy for an OB1.. Thanks...p.s any one intrested in group buy etc.. just let me know.. fun and learning.. every days a school day

Club MSV do performance car driving days at a few locations around the UK (Oulton, Cadwell, Snetterton and Brands Hatch) where you have track time too.

 

I'm wanting to do the Oulton one later this month as I know that I've still not learned to get the most out of the car. It's £400 at Oulton which is a bit steep but think it'll be worth it

Pm ebized and glrnet, they both had driver training days recently and both were hugely positive about the day and learnt a lot. Not cheap mind but worth every penny.

Everyone is allowed as long as it's done properly.

 

What the team expects is written at the top of the Group buy section of the forum.

thats np.. I knew there would be rules. I will simply follow, thanks for highlighting to me..

Nothing complicated, just basically keep people in the loop and don't be a d*ck!

[DaJimstar]

I will keep people firmly posted... & I wont be a t**l.. Proper rules

[The Bounty Bar Kid]

I'd be interested in hearing some more.

[DaJimstar]

Colin will teach you more in two hours than you will in a lifetime by yourself.

Spend the money on this before your fanny about with your car.

Doing the performance course in your own car is the best way of learning the limits of your car (You'll be amazed at the grip a Z has braking and cornering)

Thoroughly recommend the "Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling" course as well.

I made my co-pilot do the courses as well, now she drives better than me

Can't recommend Colin enough. (Don't know if I'll forgive him for teaching a girl to drive my car faster than me though!)

group bye =

[DaJimstar]

I stand corrected.. Group Bye, changes to Group Buy.. Not doing well with not being a d*ck.. and it was only 1 of 2 rules.. .. Genuinely I am useless at spelling since young, I expect no mercy..

[OllyB]

I'd be interested in this too.......

I did the Driver Development Programme day at Kenilworth with Carolyn Barker earlier this year. It was a great mix of circuit driving and going sideways on special low friction skid areas. I've found my road driving has come on a lot as a result of the day (mainly looking much further ahead). I'd echo the comments about the value of this sort of training. It's also a lot of fun!

+loads ref Colin at CAT, I couldn't believe how much more the Zed had to give Ebized was fairly impressed too We were both sensible to ensure that our courses were Chrimbo/birthday presents from our "co-pilots"

Ha ha No shame in that mate

Walshy (Andy Walsh) is the man to go for, ex-F1 test driver, mad as a box of very Welsh frogs, will teach you things you didn't know were possible (including how to defeat the brake distribution on the Zed without pulling fuses!). Top guy, can't recommend him enough.

Definitely interested if you can get something round the North West, ie Oulton Park.

Sounds very interesting indeed, welsh mad frogs, F1, Top Guy, what’s not to like... Something called work is in the way today so I will send some e-mails and comms to those recommended and see what deals we can get. I will keep everyone fully posted... will send comms tonight and as soon as I have some ideas on figures, deals to numbers ratio, availability etc.

 

Keep the recommendations coming please..

For the first time try a track taster day, yesterday at cadwell park it was £25 for a couple of hours instruction and track. I think you will find they all do this type of event. From that, you can as already stated go for full days that are more intensive with personal training.
