I did the Intermediate Track Day course last year, and I have to say that it was one of the best courses I've ever done. Mainly because Colin Hoad is an *excellent* teacher. I've had plenty of 20 minute sessions on track days, but the problem with those is they aren't long enough, and they're delivered by racing drivers - and the characteristics that make you a good racing driver (ego & aggression) make you a very poor teacher. Colin describes in detail the point of an exercise, then you repeat it until you properly understand what the car is doing underneath you, with pauses for further explanation, on both sides.
It also helps that he has a very professional set up and that Millbrook is a bloody impressive place!
I fully intend to go back and do the Advanced Track Day course this year."

Also through his racing, track and mech/tech knowledge that he has on and in cars and their handling and his ability to put this across in digestible understandable bite size bits, helped me understand my car and my abilities - my drive home was the best drive I have had" Steve Badger
  • "During my driver training development, Colin demonstrated some very rare qualities as a driver trainer, he has a very relaxed approach, whereby you immediately feel relaxed in the car. His knowledge of road and track craft is extensive which he readily shares in a very easy to understand practical way. Since my driver training with Colin my road behaviour, observation and forward thinking have helped myself to become a better driver. Whilst realising there is still a lot to learn, Colin is my natural first choice for further driver training" Ian Nulty
