I'm a trackday n00b, and have booked myself into the "Driver Plus" full day experience at Knockhill circuit.

I can't wait! The morning is out in the road, in my own car with a retired police instructor. Then it's onto the skidpan, emergency lane change simulator, and finally a few laps of the track. I'm looking forward to learning tons and having a blast. Has anyone done this course, or have any reviews or advice on the Knockhill experience? It's not for another week or so, but I'll give my own review as soon as the adrenalin dies down smile

edit: Anyone know how I can edit and correct typos in a post title? smile

Lol, is that a good thing or a bad thing? I'm not sure if the retired police guy is taking me for the track stuff, but I reckon I could learn a thing or two out in the road part of the course. I'm really only looking for a one day "taster", where I can try as many different things out as possible. Then, I'll specialise and become a racetrack legend.. all in good time smile

I'm sure the road course will be invaluable, but with a little luck, he won't be allowed anywhere the track!!!
