I've looked at 1st lotus and Don Palmer and all the venues seem to all be over 200 miles away. I've also checked a few websites incluing Croft and Teesside autodrome but there's no details listed about driver training days.

Are there any driver training courses available in the NE or surrounding areas?

I think they do some sort of driver training at elvington, york - but never looked into it properly.

What exactly do you want from your driver training. Are you wanting road training or are you wanting to train on a track? If you let me know exactly what your after i may be able to help or put you in touch with someone who can. Thanks Dave

Black Cat, hope you and the missus are well

I remember reading about someone who does a mix of both road and track, can't remember who though.

I tried to get Andy Walsh to come up here a while ago. We had enough people to fill 4 days, but he never bothered returning any emails or calls

I want to explore the limits of the car and improve my driving technique. I'd really like to start to attend a few track days next year so ideally on a track would be better. The Don Palmer and 1st Lotus courses look like an ideal starting point for this and I was looking for something along these lines...

I've not used them myself yet. Keep meaning to give them a go but haven't got around to it.

I also keep meaning to drop Dave a pm. Hope you had a good holiday.

I did a RideDrive day; didn't rate it personally, but the experience varies greatly depending on your instructor, and you're probably far enough away not to get the same guy I had.

It's a shame because there's obviously a demand for it and there are a number of circuits here which would be appropriate. Did you look at any particular circuits at the time? If we can find a good instructor, hopefully we could try and arrange something similar. Would you still be interested in doing this?

Cheers for the link. I've been searching around for a while but that looks a lot more promising than anything i've come across so far...

Not this year I'm afraid.

We looked at Corft and a Scottish circuit North of Edinburgh - can't remember where. He's used them both before. As I say the response from him was dissappointing.
