Track driver training?

[Dakkon]

I would like to improve my driving on track, just wondered if anyone had experiences of any instructors or organisations that provide this?

On pretty much every track day I've done there have been instructors available to hire, whether they were with the trackday company or employed by the circuit.
I did a Lotus training day at Hethel a decade or so ago, great experience for a whole day but not cheap.
There's also Car Limits who operate at North Weald airfield, my insurance company knocks off something if you are trained by them so worth it as well as teaching useful handling stuff
Loads more out there too...

At Oulton Park I can recommend Goose from here. He's good on other circuits too and top class instructor. Has recent PCGB Race series experience and he's one of a handful of people I let drive my Hulj.

You can go right to the top if you want and have Rob Wilson for £1500 a day!!!

Yes, I am well aware that on most trackdays tuition can be booked, and I have purchased such tuition numerous times, but to be honest, very mixed results. I want to find someone with whom I can work with who can iron out my bad habits and help me improve.

CAT Driver Training based at Millbrook Proving Ground and/or Lotus Driver Training at Hethel are both well worth the money.

A quick update, I took advice from here, spoke to Steve H and he intructed me yesterday at Rockingham. I had a great day, he is very calm and patient and my driving noticably improved.

Unfortunately a suspected failing wheel bearing cut short the afternoons track time but still very worthwile for anyone who wants to be a better driver.

Thanks for those comments Paul, shame about the bearing as we were making some great progress but I'm sure you'll keep feeling the benefit next time out .

George, hope you're keeping well .
