Circuit Driver Training Course

The Final Challenge! Or Perhaps the Beginning of the Next?

catrinabrands1 Day 4 of your Academy Programme now takes your training to the race circuit. 3 hard days of dedicated training and personal discipline find you mentally prepared to go to work on circuit. You will be guided through the transition from proving ground to circuit, setting objectives with your instructor for each session. All that hard won knowledge is now evident in your technique. Be you an aspiring racer or track day newbie, our ethos behind the Academy Programme is for you to arrive on circuit prepared and confident to fulfil your objectives.

There are no short cuts.

Without investment in personal driving development, a first experience on the race circuit at a track day is often hairy, expensive, frightening and dangerous.

You are ahead of the pack, calm, safe and fast.

tedsilverstonestraight Ready to take on the new challenges of a busy circuit you are coached to deal with traffic, safe over taking and vehicle speed differentials. Then we get to work dissecting braking points, corner radius and acceleration points. Amalgamating each and every learning experience from the Performance, Grip Limit & Optimisation days. A fast fun inspiring day. And the main objective? To see you flying solo at the end of the day.

Witnessing your development, investing time and energy along side you to reach this landmark, your instructor enjoys these first circuit days with you immensely.

davina Working with you in your own car or one of the CAT track prepared vehicles: our Road Sports Class A Caterham 7 for example, CAT has invested in your training needs and objectives to provide a fully serviced circuit experience. You will be accompanied to circuit by your instructor, race engineer, a fully equipped transit van support vehicle and most importantly an enclosed trailer with your CAT vehicle - if that is what you have chosen to use.

Crash helmets, gloves and intercom are available for your use. Providing lunch, snacks and light refreshments throughout your training, we make sure you don’t go hungry and keep you hydrated all day. If you would like to use your own vehicle we will provide instruction at a circuit of your choice, and will support the day with the level of service you require to make the day enjoyable and safe.

CAT use and recommend the following circuits: Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Mallory Park, Rockingham & Donington when reopened.

Having look at other providers for this kind of training I felt that the course you advertise and supplied contained everything required to fulfil my needs with the elements of safety paramount. You put me at ease from the outset, which enabled me to learn and retain the instructions given to me. This is a credit to you, as you explained everything so well, and made sure I full understood each task given to me. I will be promoting the CAT driving team at all HROC events. "

- Andrew Young

A week with CAT Driver Training saved years of wasted track days and processional race ‘training’. Colin Hoad is a complete Master of his craft, the five days spent with him and his team was a complete revelation, years of knowledge crammed into a few days of total enjoyment. My advice is to book early as the secret is getting out."

- Julian Rayner

It's run by a top team of people and we thoroughly recommend them."

I was totally blown away by the place, one massive playground of adventure"

-Alan Blood

Great track and diversity. More than I had hoped for. Worth every penny."

Jan Amund Walde

Since the facility itself offers pretty much anything you can dream up, in my honest opinion it makes the perfect place for all sorts of needs."

- Valery Latyshev

What can I say - that corner at the end of the small straight was amazing, to have the confidence to turn brake and then nail it blind over the crest when it all clicked was an amazing feeling."

Scott Buchanan

As an Advanced Police Pursuit Driver of over 8 years experience I thought I had a pretty good understanding of driving technique and car mechanics. Only now do I realize I’m barely scraping the surface."

- Jon Mortimer

I really enjoyed the track day and continue to learn more and more each time I have Colin in the car with me - my progression from the start of the day to the end was amazing. As you know I have attended a number of track/instruction days with a variety of providers and from booking all the way through to the day itself CAT are by far the most professional and polished organisation I have dealt with as well as offering the best instruction.

- Colin Brooker

If you are serious about developing your driving skills, Colin's deep understanding of car dynamics combined with his driving expertise will help you get there. CAT's track- prepared Lotus with its rich feedback is an ideal vehicle to hone your skills - and have a lot of fun along the way!"

- Nathan Luckey

Had a fab day and would do it again!"

- Paul Brazendale

I had quite a fantastic day with Colin. He is a brilliant, patient instructor full of encouragement with a great teaching manner. The day flew by but I enjoyed every second of it and learned more than I possibly imagined - a real revelation"

- Joe Thompson

I must admit I am one of the true petrolheads who has ALWAYS rubbished driver training .... I am so glad I came with the attitude to give it a try and I soaked everything up like a sponge, it really paid dividends and I will hold my hands up and say I am converted."

- Scott Buchanan

Well, possibly the most informative and constructive days driving I have ever had in my life!"

- Tom Walker

Worth every penny and more!"
