PH Track Academy
Discussion
Anyone interested in getting some driver training?
I'm not talking about 20 mins with an instructor concentrating on the lines for one track, but a more comprehensive system with defined goals, some theory thrown in etc.
The proposal was put to me and I liked the idea. I've done loads of track days and picked up some useful bits from instructors along the way, but I'd benefit from something a bit more structured whilst still having fun.
Those who complete the academy would get their achievement flagged on their profile
Good idea? Nonsense? Let me know your thoughts.

Yes Ted, a great idea and I'd be interested too depending on cost. One of my Noble colleagues arranged a comprehensive dat at MIRA in the summer but it was £500 per person which I thought was a little too pricey (ie: equated to two decent track days, although I know I shouldn't look at it like that!).
Sounds fun, Ted.
So how many days in the course? Would you get your ARDS licence as part of it?
I could be up for a course sometime next year...I've even been thinking of the Silverstone Race School - but I'm more the size for a GT car than a single seater these days...
Also: if its one's own car...got to think about insurance.
Edited to add: Residential? (If more than one day)
