What to do now

[TGAoW]

I passed the IAM two years ago and last week passed the RoSPA test (at gold standard, my heads not getting too big, honest). I know I have to retake the RoSPA in three years to maintain my pass level and I also know that passing these two tests does not make me a "driving god" but I am now wondering what I can do next to expend my driving experience. I thought of going for my racing licence (different driving technique I know) but has anyone got any other suggestions as to the next driving challenge I should look for. Thanks in advance.

It would seem that many here in that position move onto a variety of driving clubs who run events such as

Depends upon your available resources, vonhosen has referenced some ideas, however, if you want some sort of challenge with regard to your driving ability, competition is the only way you will find out your ability.
You could locate your nearest MSA affiliated Motor Club, join and find out what's on offer. There are some relatively cheap forms of Motorsport.
Not too hard to get a Race or Rally licence but then to continue does cost, at any level.

What about doing the Special Assessment with the IAM?

Where are you in the country?

Going racing will be very different and will teach you a load of new skills (like being able to race!)

There is expensive and very expensive racing, but I am not sure there is cheap racing!!

Dont know if you already do this but could you not become an IAM instructor and teach new people?

Thanks for all your suggestions. Much food for thought.

Technically yes, but it's gone very quiet.
