The High Performance Club will be running another Young Drivers Day on July 14th, 2007. This is open to those who are aged 26 years or less and hold a full driver’s licence, and are not already HPC members. The aims of the day are to:
• Promote awareness of driving skills at advanced levels
• Encourage the participants to develop their own skills
• Have fun – young drivers and coaches
Our first such event in 2006 was very well received by the participants:
• “Thank you for such an informative and entertaining day….it has really lifted my enthusiasm for driving”
• “It was great finally getting to meet some people who enjoy their driving”
• “The lectures were really thought provoking….and as for the demo runs, what a joy!”
• “A really useful day, hard to improve”
The day will be a mixture of demonstration drives by HPC members, participants’ observed drives, and lectures and workshops, given by a mix of HPC instructors, police advanced instructors and specialist experts. The emphasis will be positive and informative, aiming at giving participants insight into how they can take their driving on to new levels.
Places are restricted to 40, and preference will be given to those who have not attended before. A reserve list will be held of previous participants who may wish to attend if there are spare spaces. Location will be Oxfordshire.
Booking details will be on the public side of the HPC web site www.hpc.org.uk

Sorry, my mistake. I'm based here and I know there seems to be very little going on locally for young drivers to get involved in something positive when it comes to recreational road driving.

Not much for younger drivers. Does anyone know if the big tarmac strip at Croft just off the entrance road can be used? I really want to arse about with my car in some open space to erm...test some stuff out, and get a bit more used to my car. Ideally I'd like to come down to Croft and watch a bit of track action then have a play with my car - anyone know if I'd be allowed?southpaw said:

No mate, they don't let anyone play on there. Their public liability insurance doesn't permit it Gassing Station | North East | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
