Hope you like it. I had a half day a couple of weeks ago and it taught me more than I thought it would. Enjoy.

Well MAC5, for RideDrive you use your own car and it is road based with the option of an "off road" session if required. Where this takes place depends on where you are in the country. In North Yorkshire, RideDrive have recently got access to Tockwith which is a flat area of concrete with cones to be laid out (I believe).

The half day I went on started with me picking up my nearest instructor from his house and then we went driving out oin a route he'd planned. He talked, I drove and after nearly 5 hours I dropped him off at his house again and he gave me a few notes of what to practice. Have a look at their website for full details (It's a good site).
