I've had to cancel my ring trip for this year, and my Bedford trackday because they clash with my work dates... but I've got the bug and NEED to do something with my car this year so I was considering a days worth of driving tuition. Maybe the likes of Carlimits..

Can anyone recommend a good days tuition? I know this question must have been asked a million times, but all advice is much appreciated.

I can recommend Nigel Greensall - Sean Edwards seems to also get very good reviews on here (also see the sticky)

Andy Walsh. He teaches racing drivers which is enough of a testiment to his skills as you need.

Colin Hoad at CAT Driver Training based at Millbrook is a top man. I have been with them at Millbrook a couple of times and have also been out to the 'Ring with them.

Don has a teaching style not everyone will get along with, but if you do, or are quick on the uptake, he's your man. thumbup

Couldn't agree more. He's a very good teacher.

I have had a few driver tuition days with Mike at different tracks. I am always learning and refining my skill and move my level on a bit further with each tuition session. My next one will be at Silverstone in a couple of weeks time but that will only be for 25 mins or so and not the full day. I would highly recommend a full day.
