best first advance car control class.....

[evil chevy]

I'm looking to take a car control course.
I drive a Corvette Z06 and as I want to start doing track day I thought that it would be good to do advance control driving.

Anyone know the best place to go, near London would be cool

Do you want to know how to drive it well on-track or on-road...as they're very different skills (surprisingly).

IMHO, for on-track the best thing to do is to actually book yourself on a trackday and get some instruction early-on from the instructors that'll be on-hand (at least on the 'good' trackdays they will be).

Oh...and leave the ego at home...you'll have someone in a shed of a 205 or Golf breathing down your neck because their car is caged, is worth f-all compared to yours, and because they've done the circuit 10 times and are very familiar with it. Let 'em go, and if they look worth it (and if the speeds are similar) follow them, watch their lines, braking points etc.


On-road...I'll let someone with more experience comment...lots of providers, from IAM/RoSPA to John Lyons' company...

Carlimits at North Weald airfield are good for a day out to explore the limits of handling, if you can arrange rain on the day then it's even more entertaining for rwd .
