I've used both 1st Lotus and Don Palmer and would recommend either.

And, of course, you could consider Ride-Drive...

And inexpensively you could try your local IAM / RoADA groups. £85 for hours and hours of instruction. Not focused on high speed though...for that you do need to go to a specialist...

I would say do the Rospa side of things (as a rospa observer with a 996) get the basics right, then speed it up a bit.

vision/limit point/accelerator/smoothness/observation

Don Palmer is a top bloke.

on the road fast cornering is usually limited by vision/stopping distances/, get these right and you will go faster safer. its very easy to go very fast round a bend but with poor safety - which Im sure you dont mean.

If it's for Road craft try Hugh Noblett of Cadence, top instructor and a very nice chap to boot, well worth a chat to whichever route you decide to take

Ex Chief Instructor at Hendon and Caterham owner, oh and Susie makes nice coffee which is important...

hi Ivarga, I think it depends on whether you are going to drive / corner fast on the roads ( not much legal opportunity for this, also lots of factors outside your control ) or on track. I would add Bernard Aubrey to the list as an experienced Porsche instructor who will spend time with you on both road and track.
