I've had instruction before but am looking for someone who can teach more more about getting the best from a sorted FWD car.

Any recommendations ?

Hi Sean,

I think I have instructed you in the past on BookaTrack days, ..... if I can be of any assistance, please PM me. I cover all the circuits throughout the UK, .. distance isn't a great problem.

regards, Howard

Getting used to left foot braking will help a lot. I race a Clio cup, and w/o LFB, the thing just understeers everywhere!

I would say Simon Mason or Paul Taft are the best FWD specialists down South, I don't really do FWD much, so either of them are very good.

Don't go for any old instructor that charges less, get someone with a proven record in racing and instructing, like Simon and Paul.

Have fun!

When I fwd tracked I always thought I'd like to try Simon Harrison, (evos racer for lap times & ex fwd touring car racer etc) never used the chap but had a great pas laps with him yrs back & i though he was a nice frienly fellow with a heck of a talent, he instructed a v decent track driver mate of mine tho in gay wheel drive & he really rated him & got a lot out of it.


Dunno if Phil Bennet does instruction anymore, but bumped into him a few times over the yrs & thought he would be a good fella to learn from too obviously hes rather handy behind the wheel & has tonnes of fwd touring car experience too, but think he might be a good instrutor too? Angus rates him highly anyway & for the pink shirted one to praise someone they must be good! wink

Tafty has bags of experience. Highly rated. Depends how far south you mean though as all those mentioned so far are Silverstone or further North usually.

Alan Blencowe (BTCC, Seat)is a FWD specialist and works at Thruxton. Brian Cox (Prod Saloons, Mod saloons) works at Combe I think and has been racing FWD Pugs for years.
