I'm thinking of the following full day at £325:

Has anyone got experience of these courses and any recommendations?

Im really tempted to do a Car Limits day (as recommended by Steve Gill above) - they have quite a few dates still available in November - its in Essex and i know the airfield they do it on and its a large area, good circuit. Just wondered if there were any other members on here that fancied joining me as it gets cheaper the more cars you have. Anyone interested???

A bit more expensive and its not so much a tuition day although you do learn a lot about car control.

Get on a Palmersport day, I take my customers 4 or 5 times a year.

Me last week



Best day out money can buy!

Lol! They all look good, i'm probably gonna give the ddp course at Prodrive Kenilworth a shot, mainly due to location as i'll be passing on my way 'Oop North' to visit family in Yorkshire.

The date i'm looking at is Fri 28 Nov - i have time off work pre-booked already!

Whilst up north, i may as well do the Oulton Park track day on Sat 29 Nov! You fancy joining me on that one?

You're most gracious for not mentioning my 'close barrier inspection' incident at the Ring...!

DDP course has been cancelled due to limited uptake linked with the 'credit crunch'...

I've booked a car control day with Don Palmer instead!

I did a course with John Lyon a while back in my R34. he takes you to a track but on the journey he will instruct you about fast road driving then at the track he shows you more. When i went we go to Myra and Millbrook, very intensive course but great fun. Heres his site
