Hi all,

As my gf will be busy finishing her studies to become a vet this summer, I find myself in a position to plan my holiday by myself this year.

A mate and myself have decided to spend some hard earned cash on a race driving course in the UK but after surfing the web for a couple of hours I have not found exactly what I'm looking for. It should be about a week/5day's of professional tuition and preferably be proper preparation for a (dutch) saloon car racing license exam. As we're both company car drivers (enter pun here) we'll need vehicles provides as well (hire?).

Any comments/ links/ or preferably ref's from personal experience will be greatly appreciated.

thanks a lot for helping out a newbie on this forum.

Reg,
Jasper

Thanks for the info. Contacted them and they've send me documentation. Sounds great, though very single-seater orientated. Anyone with a tip for a more saloon car aimed course?

Thx a lot.
