If you get a chance to do this day grab it with both hands. The patient teaching method even helped this stupid student properly understand techniques which I'd previously been shown but not fully grasped"- Rob Evans
Absolutely brilliant day - have gained a load of confidence in both my car and my own ability. The exercises and tuition were absolutely superb (as expected!), giving a great handle on the car's brakes and grip limits, as well as tons of handy hints that I've stored away for future use. Looking forward to putting it to good use round the 'Ring next month! I'll definitely be back next year"- Suzy Wallace
Yes I must say, another fantastic day, there is a fair bit of hanging around, but when you are out you are getting great one on one training at, surely, the best venue in the country!"- Alan Pomroy
I can honestly say that before this day everything I thought I knew about driving was pretty much rubbish. Nick was my instructor and the things he showed me are absolutely awesome."- Andy Horrigan
You all taught me so much, and you were all full of so much knowledge and information."- Stacey Wells
Excellent day, well worth travelling. Thanks to all staff."- Derek Orr
My second time with Colin, Jo and the crew. So many driving techniques and tips to learn and put into practice. Very professional setup and a free GTR specialist to check the cars over.- Paul Kemshall
So many highlights: Had the back end out RRR on the handling track; Severe shinkter twitching on the banked bowl (won't mention the speed but it was fast...); Steering on / off the throttle at the limit of adhesion; Hard braking with controlled turning; Abrubt lane changing.
Now have a really good feel for the car at or over the limit of normal roadholding in the dry. 1.15 G braking and turning was very achievable.
Will be back for the one to one training day next year. If anyone has not done this great day out with top notch training from the CAT team with world class facilities - JUST DO IT!!!!! Cheers!

Congratulations to ................ markmec78 who has won the driver training sponsorship from CAT Driver Training for the 2010 MLRSS. It was a very difficult decision as the standard of driving was high across all 5 competitors. There was a long period of deliberation with Paul, one of the CAT team of instructors who worked with everyone, to decide on the winner – but as we know there could only be one. markmec78 pipped kins, corky_79, biggles and turbot to the post. Our commiserations to you but hopefully our silver lining will keep your spirits up. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with you and I thank you for taking the time to attend. Looking forward to seeing you all very soon and congratulations again to markmec78. Mark's story will be shared with you here through 2010. Colin |
