Noble Owner's Driver Training Day
Discussion
Right then ! I've contacted a couple of potential suppliers of a driver advanced training day.
I'm trying to get as much in as possible; Skid pan control, power sliding, track technique, car preparation & maintenance for tracking etc, etc.
I have no idea of a date or price or even location yet but it will almost certainly depend on how many people are interested.
I appreciate the lack of a date makes it difficult to say whether you're interested or not but if you are please post below and I'll add more and more info as I get it!

I'm out with Ride Drive on the 22nd, looking forward to sitting next to a traffic cop
I did one 'A' road section where I felt it was safe enough and hit 1.0 units, at the end of the section the cop said he thought I could have reached at least 1.1 units quite safely! It's after a day with these chaps that you realise they will rarely pull someone that is driving 'safely' while exceeding the NSL (as long as you are not taking the piss). It's pretty easy for them to spot how safe you are by the lines you take.
Excellent. It's looking like there's enough of us to have our own exclusive day. I have contacted 6 schools; some track, some airfield and a couple of flexible independents. I am now waiting to see who can offer us the best combination of instructors, time and cost. If the numbers continue to grow..and I hope they do! I may well have to look at splitting into two groups! I'll post ASAP with more info.

Except that most of the enforcement is done these days by a civilian in a van who's trying to make targets. I don't believe there are many cops who wouldn't do you for 110 if they caught you, irrespective of the risk.
