Video from very wet Brands Hatch track day. - Page 3

I may get flamed here but can somebody explain who mike wild is and what's behind having him drive your motor. Is this a better way to learn? I've always taken instruction from a passenger and been driving myself? He's clearly very accomplished, very wet, super smooth. Text book, it's no surprise he was passing the usual TD crowd. Maybe it's because I don't like being a passenger (travel sick) but it seems strange to go to a TD and have a pro drive your car?

Eddie - I was one of the organisers of the day and Mike Wilds was our Chief Instructor (he is also an ex F1 driver and one of the most respected instructors and racers out there today).

Anyway after driving very slowly myself in the wet then having Wildsie show me how it should be done, I asked him to take my staff (had arranged for them to come up for a day out of the office) out for some proper hot laps - and hence the video - also Mike somewhat enjoyed himself
