I feel like I am entering the Lion's den here but....



I have a much beloved bog standard S1 Elise that I have no intention of tracking (there, said it), certainly not on a regular basis. However, I would like to get some instruction on driving it, so that should I decide to track it I can get the most out of the experience. Obviously I want to use their Elise not mine.

Recommendations?

Last couple of days i've done with Motor Sport Events they have had an Elise for Hire £35 for 15 minutes, think thats with instruction. Don't know if thats assuming you are already at the event and paid up with your own car or just turn up and have a 15 min slot and off you go.

The guy to see as an intro to car control particularly with a Lotus would be Andy Walsh at www.carlimits - superb value

Another vote for Andrew Walsh at CarLimits. Don't sweat using your own car, if you do a day at an airfield with Walshy there is no risk of hitting anything hard anyway.

I have had a look at their site and emailed them.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am stil not sure I would use my own car, I may start with the basic experience day and see how it goes.
