Any of you done any driving courses with your Lotus?

Hi,

Just wandering if any of you have done any performance driving courses on or off track?

I driven a lot of performance cars over the years and have done a lot of track days, but now I'm looking at some sort of course to make me faster, smoother and more competent in my car, rather than doing doughnuts on a track

Your views are appreciated. I live in the South London/Surrey area

Thanks

Mike

Andrew Walsh of www.1stLotus.com is well known and respected. Have done a couple of days with him and got lots out of it.

Lotus as you get to use their cars on their test track and CAT Driver Training where you use your car at Millbrook Proving Ground. If you do their drift course you get to use their yummy Caterham race car as well as your car.

in addition to the above (have done all except CAT) have a look at Don Palmer car control.

Think it depends what you want - car control in general applicable to road and track driving. Hiring an ARDS instructor on a trackday (TDO' own) helpful for sure over a short period on an unfaamiliar circuit. i have also hired an ARDS instructor for a full day of tuition on track which was good, but in terms of limit handling / techniques etc, an 'airfield' type day with different disciplines to master taught me most.

Had a lesson in Scotland with Andy Walshe at a charity trackday last friday.

Absolutely brilliant. very patient and really made things drop into place where I was having trouble with understeer/oversteer on track. All the Scottish guys inc the racers use him he's really good.

Def get booked up
