You're About to Sign Up for Your First Track Day

You don't want to fall off and you don't want to be a mobile chicane. You would like to bring your car home in one piece and have a system to work to on track that allows you to lap quickly and safely as you build your confidence.

A fast moving involving introduction to the art of high speed circuit driving. Speed and consistency are a by product of a good technique. It is not magic, just a systematic approach. Working together you will maximise your technique. Short in car presentations that are specific to your vehicle and easy to understand will explain the workings of the vehicle underneath you. The relevance of minimized driver inputs to balance your car at speed through a corner will become apparent.

There is no one else but you and your instructor!

Enjoyed a Few Track Days & have Lots of Unanswered Questions?

Getting passed by cars with half your horse power? Passing them on the straights but they catch you up in the corners?

Driving at speed requires knowledge and commitment, understanding how a vehicle behaves at grip limit is a core skill and one that is often learnt by the inexperienced painfully. Your vehicle will talk to you at grip limit sending out signals for you to interpret. This session is designed to tune you, the driver, into the language of a vehicle driven at speed. Motor Industry evaluation training exercises married to circuit driving techniques, complemented by in car vehicle dynamics presentations - a unique combination to raise your confidence, knowledge and reduce your lap time.

Enjoyed Many Track Days and/or Have Racing Experience?

You'd like to fine tune your technique to minimise your lap time and maximise your speed. Or perhaps, now with all of that hard won experience you would like to fine tune the vehicle set up and can't quite get the perfect balance.

Your learning curve is levelling out, and yes it is difficult to find those few tenths. Polarised briefings in vehicle set up, coupled with over grip limit exercises designed to challenge both you and your car, this session will stretch both you, your technique and your ability to communicate with your vehicle at speed. The infamous circuits of the Millbrook Proving Ground offer hidden challenges to the uninitiated exposing those small hidden areas in your technique that could be costing you time. Your instructor will work with you, fine tuning your inputs, assisting in the understanding of the sensory messages fed back through the controls to you. How you interpret those messages is the foundation stone to finding time by adjustment of your vehicles set up.

4: 5 Day Academy

Give your race performance the edge, improve your track day lap time, accelerate your evaluation skills, develop your knowledge of race car set up. This programme is designed to progress your knowledge of limit handling, high speed driving and vehicle dynamics to a professional and industrial level.

Based on a five day itinerary we dissect the art of grip limit driving bridging the gap between driving a vehicle on its limit of adhesion and exploring the dynamic reactions underneath us when we make an input into the controls.

The course can be taken on consecutive days or broken down into daily components over a period of time. This course is a definitive introduction to fast safe driving, be it on the race track, Proving Ground or improving your safety and control on the road.

Training can be conducted in our vehicle or yours, or a combination of both.

We look at the minutiae of the following areas breaking down each individual discipline into easy to understand exercises: Correct use of the controls and the subtle differences that contribute to a safe smooth style and a quicker lap time; Threshold, Trail and High speed braking; the importance of correct braking techniques; Linear, High G and Pedal exit; Corner entry, apex and exit.

An exciting and fast moving progressive course taken on a one to one basis or shared between two people at the Millbrook.
