Intensive Driver Training

[Boggy]

All,

Just can't contain myself anymore! I'm up at Hethel from tomorrow doing the intensive driver training on Saturday

Already done Lotus driver training a few activity days and numerous 1 to 1 training so before I start to venture down the road of track days then hopefully to participate in the Trophy my wife brought me this for my joint Birthday and Christmas present

Excellent present What is the cheaper driver training experience like? Worth the cash? Anything that exceeds a Walshy day?

Having done both I'd say with no disrespect to Andy Lotus is better, you can really push their cars without worrying if it all goes wrong, it's there car not yours so you don't need to worry about tyres, brakes scratches etc etc etc. It's their petrol, their Car

Also you get the chance of driving up at Lotus which if your an enthusiast mean's a lot, it's not cheap but then if you add both up properly theirs not much in it

I know sir,

Driven on it now 4 times and it always surprises me on how technical it is, bottom chicane is my very favourite thou

Did the Lotus intensive 1 day course with Alistair McQueen - excellent instructor. A little pricey but the skills you develop and the track driving on the Hethel circuit was well worth it

looks fantastic, 500 sovs though looks like I'm going to be poor for quite a while, going to book myself on the first one for summer !

I did a two day course at Hethel - first day was the factory tour and second was driver training. Awesome fun and good opportunity to drive both S and R versions - discovered that while the R is an amazing track weapon, the S is no slouch, and only loses out on the long straight

How much £ does it cost?

[S Works]

£800 odd quid.

Sounds like a great time - how does it compare to the MSV experience days which cost similar for lapping in Clio Cups, Caterhams, XK's, JP1's and 911's?

Walshy's new £250 day with 2-Elevens and Clio Cups looks like great vlaue, too
