CAT Driver Trg Sun 23rd March anyone?

Pip1968 · 30-01-2014, 07:57 AM

Is anyone interested in some driver training with CAT Driver Training on Sunday 23rd March?

"Your training session will include presentations on: Understeer, Oversteer, Lift Off Oversteer, Roll Oversteer, Weight Transfer at Turn In, Tyre Grip, Trade Off, Identifying Grip Limit, Breaking Traction"

I believe it will be in a Caterham and the the group size is only 4. There is the start of a thread on the 911uk.com (no fighting

) forum so I would get your name down as soon as possible. I know it is difficult to commit so far ahead. I am sure Jo from CATDT will be along shortly to confirm prices and answer any other questions.

I have done a couple of days with them at Millbrook and Bruntingthorpe and they are very good. Others on here have also done some days with them.

Pip

Ps I am sure other dates will be available but I need to do something in March and this date popped up.

Thanks Pip. Here's the overview on the group training day fyi:

Group Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling Course
Learn the secrets of over limit handling using your car and our Caterham 7.

A 5.5 hour experience for 4 owners covering the building blocks of vehicle control at grip limit.

A fast moving sideways experience. Designed to build on the skills learnt on the Performance and Cornering Masterclass club days or as an introduction to the techniques of over grip limit driving for the novice, our instructors will tailor the training to your level of experience.

Understand and practice the building blocks of over grip limit driving. It is not just nailing the accelerator and relying on instinct. A drift is the culmination of many core skills polarized into one extreme exercise. All explained and demonstrated by your instructor and practiced by you.

Enjoy the challenge of our very sideways Caterham, and experience the dynamic characteristics and capability of your own car as it realises its true potential at grip limit. Invaluable information for those owners wanting to maximise its potential and enjoyment of their car on track.

I have done this course, and it is brilliant! So many "driving experience" days I have done have left me feeling a bit like I hadn't learned anything. Not with CAT driver training - I learned stuff I can actually use, and I don't live in fear of the other side of the grip limit like I used to.

Highly recommended!

Come on where are all the track attendees? Driver training is the way forward and far better than money spent most modifications. Not that anyone has of course - OEM all the way to the warranty application form.
