The pleasure was all mine. The impact of your On Road Masterclass last week was evident in the number of times I yawned on the way home – you provoked more concentration in me than usual, clearly demonstrating the extent to which we usually switch off our brains when driving. Driving well (quickly and safely) requires, I now know, a level of concentration and awareness well beyond what I was used to.

My Dynamic Handling Masterclass last year was pretty much what I expected, because we spoke beforehand about what I wanted from it and your tuition was therefore well targeted. The On Road Masterclass, on the other hand, gave me a lot more to think about. I always thought I was a safe driver, but having you point out my vulnerabilities was eye-opening. Realising just how much pertinent information was escaping my consciousness was, frankly, disturbing.

In summary Ivan, you have taught me so much more than I expected, and I realise that my learning is not yet complete. Many thanks for your patience and coaching. I suspect we shall meet again.
