Oulton RS Day Instruction

[BertBert]

So me and Miss Bert (Jnr) will be at Oulton in my 911. We are both experienced racers and know Oulton well, but really have no idea how to get an air-cooled 911 round in a tidy fashion. So we could do with some help! Perhaps a couple of sessions of instruction each over the course of the day. Anyone got any suggestions? Anyone here want to help out (payment available!).

Cheers
Bert

Marcus Carniel is usually there (The Goose on PH) and will give instruction. He knows Oulton and Porsche so you won't go wrong.

I'll be there in my 964. Don't have time for instruction but happy to run you round for a few laps if it will help?

RSVP911's your man. A bit like monkey driving a school bus, he may end driving up the kerb and taking the odd lamppost/pedestrian out, but he'll get you there, and fast.

Reads like you know what you're doing anyway. Are you taking the 3.8? I'd like to watch it run.
Marcus is a local, is easy to get on with and has given useful/workable tips for making the best of Oulton in air cooled 911s

Excellent,did not realise rsv was a expert,there i was helping him out

Bert happy to look at your car,should not take much input if you are a racer,just the quirky points on how to drive a early car.
Most early cars suffer poor set up and grip,depends what you want to get out of it.

Try Simon Mason Motorsport Tuition - local to Oulton and a good instructor/ driver coach. Has raced a 911 in Britcar and also raced a Lotus 2-11 in British GT, amongst others.

Definitely a driver coach first and foremost, though, and not a racing driver filling in time between races! There is a difference.

Also has a simulator business near Manchester so you could do a session in that first to get max value from your track time.

Y491 - what you see here is standard low level character assassination from the "diff" - it's a pathetic effort to try and knock me off my game ; he's well aware that there's a new tiger in town to teach him how to peddle - pathetic really, but this is what happens when someone with very little talent feels threatened - I see this sort of thing all the time when driving as fast as I can around a Tesco's car park

Google Robert Colbourn. He's an instructor at The Porsche Experience Centre but does private tuition too both on track and road if you want.

I've had a couple of instructors at PEC and I thought he was better then the other guy I had who was an ex race driver. He's made his living as an instructor rather than being a race driver who is now making his living as an instructor having retired.

I am going to book a day of fast road tuition with him this year.
