Please do not make her drive if she does not want to. I have been a massive petrolhead since the age of 7 and learnt to drive at that age across fields. However about 25+ years ago I had a problem with driving and lost my confidence. A bit extreme I know but I did a race instruction day at Brands in a BMW and a single seat race car. Well that sorted me out!!

I would have expected it to terrify you! How did you find it before, during and after?

Before I felt nervous, during I felt nervous which the instructor picked up on and helped me a great deal. Afterwards I realized I am a tin top girl and still love, love, driving.

Short while after that I did my first track day in my caged 1380 Swiftune Mini. I was in the novice group with a group of Ferrari F40s and F50S!

Following year I spent a day on Brands GP circuit with Nick Swift of Swiftune, best day of my life and I learnt so much from him.

Sorry for the thread drift.

That's great to hear - congratulations
