Hi,

Im have just completed the above today, wow, what an adrenaline rush. the very patient driving coach (Simon), was superb and the course was everything I thought it would be. I now realise how shockingly bad my driving is, and how fantastic my Tuscan is. My driving has improved considerably, and I now know some of the issues I have to put right.


Road driving, on the track , the thing is amazing. Hitting 172 mph at Bruntingthorpe was my realisation that my tusc is a bruiser(I know speedo calibration and all that),it was fecking quick, and my babe was still pulling, I aint stopped shaking yet.

Anyone not done this, I highly recommend

Dave

Speak to Julian who I believe owns the company. Superb training - have done a full day course some 3 yrs ago (after owning Tuscan for half a year) and then a refresher a year later. Thoroughly recommended and if you reach the required standard, it gets you 25% off your insurance (if done through Adrian Flux).

Hi,

Julian is a top notch fella, he organised the whole thing and the set up is a very professional one. He matches the coach with your specific area, and organises the complete day, from time spent on road training to the track session. All with a 1-1 personal tuitor. Superb day

Go book it and experience what a Tusc is truly designed for. Boy!,do I want to do it again!

Yep, can highly recommend it too, although I was 'lucky' enough to do Brunters in the wet. That runway straight seems a lot longer when there's standing water on it.

Hi,

Bruntingthorpe was the icing on the cake, came off once when got started, but really got into it after a couple of laps, at speeds unable to experience on the road. The tutor was pushing my comfort envenlope as he read my own driving experience,

I missed off to say that I was asked to short shift towards the end of the session as I was hitting in tthe region on 95db, oooh, the cc`s sounded superbbb at full chat, going to book a further session asap on skid control.
