Performance driving course - on road
Discussion
Do you know of and can you recommend any on-road performance driving courses? I started a course with Ride-Drive a few years ago, but the fuel pump on my car failed and if your car breaks down you still have to pay, because the trainer has given up his time, so that is fair enough.
I am shortly to start providing passenger experiences for a charity and although I am comfortable driving my car, a bit of training would probably be a good idea and Ride-Drive has stopped. I am in Cambridgeshire. Any suggestions?

not on the road training but have you had a look http://www.carlimits.com/
Only down the road in North Weald and reasonably priced too.
Its a really fun and educational day out in your car, thoroughly recommend it.

I'd second that, a great day and you learn a lot about car control in a safe environment. It's not in any way track tuition and you really will get a lot out of it.Only down the road in North Weald and reasonably priced too.

I'm assuming you've joined the bears? Theres a few members on here and we all have a great deal of fun taking people out.
One thing to remember is drive well within any limits you have as most people just want to get a feel for the car and how it accelerates/brakes rather than a hell for leather run on public roads (not meaning to teach you to suck eggs BTW

Thanks for the tips Zippee. No I haven't joined the Bears (who I didn't know about), but I am to offer rides for a newish charity in the Cambridge area called 'Something to look forward to', which provides treats for people with cancer and their families.
Ooh! Got any more details? I'm only in St Neots and having had family members suffer recently from the big C it's a charity I like to support.Zippee said:

See http://www.somethingtolookforwardto.org.uk/ There is a page on which you can suggest donations. What car(s) do you have?I had a morning with this bloke who works for Porsche at the Porsche Experience Centre....he also works freelance and I am going to book a day with him. Not cheap but he was a superb instructor...and I think you can take great comfort that he works for Porsche. The standard of instructors they have is very high....never seen a bad word written about them.
