Passed IAM test. What next?

[WetPaint]

Much of what I learnt on the IAM course was about observation and planning. These are obviously valuable skills to have on the road and my driving has certainly improved because of it.

I would now like to increase my knowledge and skill where car control and vehicle dynamics are concerned. IPSGA is all well and good for normal road driving but it is certainly not the most exciting way to drive.

I feel that when I begin to push on on an empty country road, using acceleration sense and the limit point, though smooth and safe, I'm left wanting more. I'd like to start learning advanced techniques so I can begin to really hustle the car along.

I'm aware that (very) late breaking, heel and toe etc are not really required/suited to normal road driving but being a motoring enthusiast forum I'm sure most of you will understand the desire to want to learn a more aggressive type of driving that is not so focused on passenger comfort, but more on the satisfaction and exhilaration of getting the car through a set of corners in the fastest way possible.

Where do I look for this type of coaching? Are there any good books or websites I should become familiar with?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Will definately check out the police Course.

I guess what im really looking for is more track/on the limit focused car control rather than faster road driving.

Palmer Sport seems to tick all the boxes for what I'm after. Good shout. Just need to save some pennies now!
