Ride Drive TVR

[S Works]

I got a link to this company yesterday via PH and they seem very reasonable.

When I do finally take the plunge I'm keen to get some lessons/tuition on how to properly handle a big powerful RWD car.

I'm guessing that due to their association with Henley TVR, the TVRCC and a well known insurance company that they are reputable and offer a good service.

Has anyone used them?

Not yet but I met them at PistonFest and I'm booked in for my first session. Had a long telephone conversation last night with the bloke who'll be taking me out. The discussion was very thorough and we agreed from that what we want to achieve from the session.

They seem to have a very good reputation, and a quick search for them in the forums will throw up a raft of satisfied customers I think.

I'll report back in a couple of weeks.

I used them and would highly recommend them.

I had a full day (road and runway) with my instructor a week after getting the car. He showed me the limits of the car and gave my great confidence in it's abilities, he also showed what can happen if you exceed those limits.

In addition, your own driving skills are improved through their own skills and experience.

There are a number of recent threads endorsing them, it's a worthwhile investment IMHO

Yep - be ready for what may be a tiring day - as you learn to concentrate a lot more on the road ahead and behind!

I've used them too (see other threads) and would thoroughly recommend them. Split mine into two half days - which was advised as it is quite intense and tiring. Still got the track session to book.

Great experience and well worth it! Go for it!!
As alisonh says, search for other threads on reports about RideDrive Most of the folks who have taken the course highly recommend the experience. Vrrooommmmm.....

Me to. Had a day with them a year ago - well worth the investment.

Hi All,

Am learning fast on this board... most things are covered with a good search of the forums. Looks like a very well regarded company.

Bookmarked and one to remember once I (eventually) take the plunge!

Cheers again!

I used book-a-track earlier this year

Can reccomend them too

Beware - the instructors are normally serving police officers so don't drive like an ass!
