Colin Hoad's Blog
Welcome to my blog.
I've been described as a a driving 'Yoda', Im not to sure about that, but I have enjoyed a long career and love passing on my driving knowledge and experience to like minded people. I have had the pleasure of working with many people that just want to improve their skills as well as training novice drivers to become expert race drivers. In this blog you'll find articles about driving as well as my thoughts, car and product reviews and ideas that come time mind about driving and the world of Motorsport.
Check out page 6 in the February edition of Cranfield Express, for a write up on our Winter Driving Course - Skid Identification & Control, recently taken by our friendly and lovable Dentist, Pete. Link here to the pdf.

Having had over 60 Nissan GTR R35s and their owners through the door at Millbrook Proving Ground on training days in 2009-10, Colin Hoad, CAT Driver Training’s Chief Instructor, thought he would share his training notes with you. Pedalling an R35 around a circuit is not as easy as some may think. Contrary to popular belief the car does need a driver. And if you want to get the best out of an R35 you need a sound technique.
