TVR advanced training

[X000 XXX]

Anyone have an opinion as to the best place to go )in the South East) with regard TVR advanced training - essentially dealing with those unexpected traction mishaps ?

They have days at North Weald airfield in Essex so totally safe ground and you'll get to find your cars limits without seeing how hard trees really are!!

Ive a Ride Drive Course given to the Region (NYTVRCC) from Ride Drive themselves in aid of the TVRCC charity "Hearing Dogs for the Deaf"

If you remember last year (at Topcliffe) we riased £2500 and bought a dog called Tasmin for the charity

We are starting to put together this years event (which will be on 13th Sept at York) and this is the first donation made

Ive emailed the thread creator but would anyone else want it for a suitable donation in cash?

Was the dog named after the TVR Tasmin or that actress that used to be on Eastenders?

Don Palmer's wet handling course is well worth a try. See www.drivingdevelopment.co.uk/

Poor!

That was Tamsin
Nevermind - stick to eurovision where your comments are more suited

I've been on the ridedrive course (www.ridedrive.co.uk) and would strongly recommend it.

It covers a lot on car handling and control both on the road and in a controlled environment (track/airfield), and I was lucky enough to do it on a wet day.

My TVR certainly has a lot more grip than I expected, especially in the wet, but there are a few ways of unbalancing the car that I wasn't really aware of until I tried them.

Also, I found a real difference between reading about the techniques and actually doing them on the road. There is no substitute for experience!

I'm also starting to think that heavy tyre wear is going to have a bigger impact on TVRs than normal cars - the tyres don't cut through the water as well because less weight is spread over a greater tyre surface area.
