@Count Steer did you and have you?Count Steer wrote: ↑Sun Jul 10, 2022 10:46 am Aksherly, just realised, the only car training I've done was the 'how to pass the test' training and a day at Drift School. So, given how much more I enjoyed bike riding after training I'm going to book some.
(Probably at Brooklands, something like the Mercedes Experience. I think it includes skid pan etc. My neighbour is a tutor and used to be an instructor at the Nurburgring so hoping for 'mates rates'. I'll report back. ).
What would be your advice?

Re: What would be your advice?
I'd be interested in doing another car-driving "experience" at some point. I think I can claim to have done a skid-training course* prior to ever driving a manual car before!

I'll see if I can have a word with my neighbour and let you know what the score is with the Merc thing.
