Advice please - 3rd party track day instruction

[Green George]

Time and time again I have read that the best modification you can spend money on is driver training. Having done quite a few track days, I have in the past paid for the organisers in-house instruction. This is normally very reasonably priced and really quite brief. This appears to me in reality, to be more to do with showing you the lap and some basic pointers, rather than going faster.

What I am looking for is recommendations for 3rd party whole day one to one instruction in my car (Caterham 1.6 Superlight) at a trackday in the South East; preferably Bedford Autodrome as I know the circuit reasonably well and like the big run off areas!

So, who have you used? and, if you used a Caterham did you need an intercom?

Thanks in advance
George

Jamie Stanley, Fulvio Mussi, Mark Woodhead are very good and all instruct regularly on LOT days so know their way around Caterhams. Mark used to be a Caterham Academy instructor iirc - not sure about Jamie and Fulvio.

They'll all provide intercoms if requested.

Thanks for that, I will do some research.

Anyone got any recommendations for Snetterton area as this is my local (I'm driving an Elise)

Fulvio is based in Essex so very handy.

I have never met Fulvio but can wholeheartedly recommend both Jamie and Mark.

Most of my coaching was from Malcolm Edeson (Nottingham area) but would also recommend David Hornsey (near Thruxton). Both have made a massive difference to my driving - now it takes me several attempts to hit the Armco.

I recommend Simon Mason, has coached a large number of very successful Caterham racers, amongst many others.

Lives near Oulton Patk but is happy to travel, and also willing to,share a day with another client.
