Did the Millbrook performance driving course on Sunday. Blimey - what a day. I learned just how truly capable the V8V really is - and how totally crap a driver I really am!! If you've not done it and fancy doing it then you should do it - it's a brilliant day out and you learn a lot from it. Going to book some track instruction next....

Driver training days are excellent.
Most performance cars are a lot more capable than the drivers wink
I've used this guy before www.carlimits.com
I've heard good things from Ride Drive as well.
I'd recommend this style rather than trackday training as it is a lot more real world and you do it in your car so learn specifically how it responds to you.

There is always Aston Martin On Track, put together by the same people as the PDC and the same high quality.

I can only echo the comments above. I enjoyed the PDC so much that I did it again after six months. I was grinning from ear to ear for a week after each course. As oceantools said, I was astounded by the fact that I knew so little about driving.

Last year, I did the Silverstone track day. I think that I am going to do it again this year. It is utterly awesome, but I really do think that it is better to do the PDC first, unless you already know how to throw a car around a track.

A bonus about going to Silverstone this year, is that you will get to drive the new Arena Circuit.
