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."

I got to do things I never thought I would do and push my driving further than I thought I could."

You love your car with a passion. Why not invest further by stepping out of your comfort zone and learning what your car can really do? At CAT you cover the key elements of high-performance driving. You tune into the language of a vehicle driven at speed in a challenging environment, in safety.

You may want to upgrade your car, and yet you may not be aware of everything your car is designed to do. It’s better to upgrade yourself as the driver first. With training from CAT, you’ll be amazed at your untapped potential. Then, when your technique is stronger, you’ll be able to drive any car at peak performance – either on track or out on the road.

  • Understand the limits of grip and get familiar with high G
  • Stay safe on different surfaces and with changing conditions and diverse cambers
  • Pick up tips and know-how specific to your car and develop safer handling skills
  • Practice cornering techniques, including entry, apex, clipping point, J-turn, slow-in-fast-out, weight transfer on turn in, identifying the correct line and ‘driving it’
  • Keep a steadier line and look ahead more to lower your driving risk, and avoid accidents and unexpected hazards
  • Explore low, medium and high-speed braking, including threshold braking, pedal exit and braking/steering with ABS – plus skid control
  • Understand the finer detail of electronic stability programmes
  • Learn heel and toe techniques and understand over- and under-steering
  • Understand the effect of small mechanical adjustments – and how to adjust your own driving to achieve greater ‘flow’ and mechanical sympathy with the car
