The High Performance Course will be running another Young Drivers Day on the Saturday, 30th of July, 2016. This is open to those who are aged 26 years or less and hold a full driver's licence, and who are not graduates of the High Performance Course. The aims of the day are to:
- Promote awareness of driving skills at advanced levels
- Encourage the participants to develop their own skills
- Have fun

Anyone have any ideas if I'd be allowed to do it - I'm 26 now, but come July I'll be 27.....
I'd be really keen to do the course though!
Worth applying - not unknown, so you may get a yes - just fill in the form and put such details on the form...I'd be really keen to do the course though!
I suspect that the age limit is to encourage a certain age group - you have to pick a certain age to have a limit, but am sure there is some flexibility - it might depend on how many apply, but give it a go!

What a great idea....my daughter is going to be 17 very soon, and this is just the sort of thing i want her to do post test....
Is there going to be any more later in the year?
There is only one a year - however, I suspect she will get more out of it with a year or so of driving under her belt rather than being very new to driving (my opinion, not that of the organisers)Is there going to be any more later in the year?

Just in case there are any others on the cusp (or slightly over!) the age limit - worth an email to the organisers via their website - I've been permitted to take part 
good to hear - see you then... you will have fun! Squidward said:

...and got a drive with me, which may or may not have been what you were hoping for. Great to see so many PH smilies in the car park yesterday, and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. If anyone would like to say a bit about how their day went it might help encourage even more PHers to attend next year.

I was just logging on to find this thread to say the day really was fantastic, and thoroughly worth going to. My wife & I both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and are definitely looking into HPC membership now!
Even if not looking at membership, I'd encourage anyone who is keen to improve their driving skills - getting someone else to analyse your driving and offer great advice on reading the road and positioning the car to maintain pace was fascinating and very enlightening
And to be able to chat cars and driving with people equally as geeky was refreshing too 
I'd also like to echo what others have said and highly recommend this course. It was a big learning experience for me and I was seriously impressed with the quality of the driving of the two instructors I went out with. It's definitely worth doing if you want to learn how to drive at a good pace but safely - we weren't hanging around but I never once felt uncomfortable. Many thanks to all involved

Glad to have the feedback One thing to stress - none of us (with perhaps the exception of Andy, Clive and Carol) are instructors. We're all folks who've achieved that standard of driving through a desire to improve - you're on that same path, and hopefully we'll see you at Club events sometime in the future.

Will being 26+9 be held against me? It might need a new thread though because of the date in the title of this one.
