Car Limits Day

[BoostMonkey]

Have many people done a day with Andy and what did you think of it?

Is it worth plumping for the 2 person day, or does a 4 people day still give you plenty of time.

I went in a party of 4 friends. We thought it was great and a 4 person day was fine. It does not mean that you spend 75% of the time sitting around waiting. It means you do more without Andy in the car with you, and a little bit less overall.

4 person day is a good compromise - it gives you a bit more time in the car to actually try out what Andy has repeatedly told you!

Depends how quickly you pick up stuff I guess - I didn't need him in the car telling me the same thing again and again - I just needed a bit more time to repeatedly try what he was pointing out to me.

If you're quicker than me, and get the hang of everything instantly (unlikely) you may find yourself wanting to take up a bit more of his time, but it's great having the chance to play around at the limit either way.

He's an absolutely phenomenal driver, and a good teacher. Wish I'd filmed the bits with him driving, never seen anybody fling an Elise round so much and still be in perfect control.

Buy his brilliant DVD from the Car Limits web site - you see 3 camera angles at the same time while he flings the car around and explains what he is doing, feet, steering wheel as well as view forwards.

Promise I am not connected to him in any way except as a happy customer.

Right looks like my Christmas present is sorted then

I did a two person day ages ago in the pouring rain in my old 964 and had a great time.

I span a few times, so Andy took the wheel to show me how it was done and he span too. Apparently there was something wrong with the alignment!

I also swapped cars with a guy who brought his Elise. I don't know if there's enough room for 3 people to have a play while the 4th is out with Andy.

I did a day with Andy a few years back in the Chimeara.

4 of us, middle of summer, scorching hot, to be honest car and tyres probably benefited from the brief 'rest periods' (its still only brief with 4 of you) to cool down a bit..

Awesome day, probably works better with worse weather/less grip provided it isn't icy to be honest


Would recommend, will do again some day

I did a car limits day years ago and had a great day, it was also nice to see him stall my car the first time he drove it, just goes to show these pro drivers are also human I'm considering doing another one when I've picked my new car up.
