Track experiences for youngsters

[Thevet]

Anybody know if there's anywhere a 15 year old can get some rally/track driving tuition? Tried KH but seems they have to have a full licence. He's been driving on his dad's farm for years, so is capable of all the basics and would like to get a bit of instruction for his birthday.

Don't know if this is of any use or interest.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but the ones relating to learning to drive a car aren't really what I was after, as he can already drive, just not on any public roads. The supercar experience looks fun but expensive and short for a kid, although it would no doubt be amazing at that age. The KH teen experience is based in classroom/simulator with some car maintenance and passenger laps, again not quite what I was after. Maybe underage driving can't be done in a motorsport training scenario. Again, thanks and hopefully someone can give an answer.

I guess he means competing in Auto tests.



They're quite good fun.

Sdmc are running some clubcross events this year too, I believe you can enter these at 14.

What ever you do do not google clubcross and click the first link.

Looks pretty bloody good to me.

I did it in a K10 Micra which ended up with mostly just driving around with the right foot welded to the floor and the handbrake on for the whole course.

personal view.
i was brought up on a famr with a long private road, so i could drive from a very young age. i nevef got my petrol kicks younger. However my eldest is neasly 13 and enjoys the petrol wiff, he has been karting a few times but in Malaysia here we started doing a few races and he loved it and valued its all about handling and learnign to drive. Me too learned a lot from that. keeping him keen is hard when there are big law restrictions, autotesting maybe a good idea but competative karts maybe as well?
