Hi
I have just been given the opportunity to have some driver training. I live in the south west any recommendations of a good venue

regards

Graham

 

I have seen a few car clubs using Smeatharpe airfield up on the blackdown hills, not sure how effective it is in circuit style driving, but plenty of run off area

 

There are two good ones i've heard of:

http://www.carlimits.com/

I'm going on the plans training day because my wife bought me a session with them. 3 hours one on one training as i understand. I'm travelling from Leeds so i made sure i picked the right course for me. Should be going on it as soon as i get the S2K...

 

or http://www.motorsport-events.com Academy day

Car Limits (aka 1st Lotus / Andy Walsh) offer discounts to S2KUK Members

Two others to consider:

A friend of mine recommended Don, but I don't have any personal experience.

and

Look for the Advanced Track Driving course (July 11th at Snetterton)

There was a post on here recently with someone describing their experience on one of these days but I can't immediately find the link for it. I think the result was generally positive.
[EDIT: Found it = https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=490443]

The plans motor sport (mentioned above) is on the Top Gear test track, you are the Stig!

 

Car Limits (1st Lotus) and Don Palmer both considered in my sig

 

The Advanced Track Day was good.......see my post as linked above! :-)

 

If you want some on the road training Ridedrive are good - they also do track too.

 

Graham, did you want performance training or or you talking about advanced driver (road based) as many companies offer to staff who drive company cars?
Im in Somerset and fancy some circuit stuff as a beginner. Smeathorpe is very close to me in Taunton. If you see anything that takes your eye, why not drop me a PM, it could be a laugh
