...or somethign similar.

Is it more complicated than I'm thinking? Or is there someone somewhere who can teach me to handle a car at high speed safely?

I say this, cos I've just bought a golf R32, and while I enjoy being in a 4-wheel drift situation at t-junctions and roundabouts, I can't help thinking that sooner or later I might misjudge something along the line.

We run airfield performance driver training days at venues across the uk which would be perfect for you.

You can do the day one on one with an instructor or in groups of 2, 3, 4 or 12 if you have a car club that might be interested.

Your car has to be under 100db's. You will go over skills such as heel and toe, brake avoid, rotational steering, fast corner approach and exit, slaloms, grip circles etc... and the day can be tailored to the individual.

Go to www.benelliottracing.com for more details.

If you are free on the 19th April we have a couple of spaces available on a car club day. £120, 9am-5pm, lunch included, West Sussex. Contact katie@benelliottracing.com if you want to sign up.

Thanks

Thanks to Katie, Ben and John, a great day was had by me, and my mate that turned up, and from what I saw, by everyone.

Tuition was clear and concise, and feeback was immediate, as you could see and feel the results of the advice given by the trainer.

Would recommend for someone who is new to the whole driving skills thing, maybe not those who are experienced.

Props to the SXOC.com guys who organised it, nice bunch of lads. Shout to Neil, Alan, Tom, Paul.

Is useful for 'real world' as well, as much of the theory can be applied to road driving.

Thanks to all for the day!
