Doing HPC next year. Don or Cadence?
Discussion
I've decided its time to do the HPC course. I need a new challenge and driving is life so it had to be really.
I've already passed IAM and have a Rospa Gold so, hopefully, I'm at a reasonable standard for entry. I'll probably do the IAM Special Assessment along the way...
HPC entry is via only two "gatekeeper" training companies, however: Which makes getting in an expensive business, despite membership being very reasonable! Still - it is partly this exclusivity and most certainly the necessary depth of training required that makes the club attractive - not to mention the excellent insurance scheme - that covers unlimited track days, it would appear!
And so - I need to choose. Cadence or Don Palmer.
Cadence do a course for about a grand aimed at getting you in. Not quite sure about Don - a day with him is £400 but I'm not certain how many will really be required. In each case I'll bet its great fun, of course....
HPC members, and qualified others: Who would you go with? Who DID you go with?
I feel I have reasonably strong entry qualifications - am I deluding myself? Or is there a chance that I could make the grade with just a day with Don?
I'd love to spend time with Don just for the obvious amusement: "Do you mind if we call you Don to avoid confusion?" :hehe:
