Dynamic Handling Driver Training Course Review
2 day Total Control Masterclass encompassing both Millbrook Proving Ground and on road driving: the course was both extremely educational and enjoyable. Ivan is a very professional and skilled instructor and coach, and a ‘right nice lad’ as we say in Yorkshire. Ivan meets you where you’re at and teaches and encourages you to progress forward at a pace you’re comfortable with.
I quickly realised after about 10 minutes on the initial exercise and assessment on Millbrook’s Outer Handling Circuit that I didn’t drive particularly well, despite 20 years behind the wheel, and 15 of these having been fortunate to drive relatively quick cars. Humbling and frustrating, but was buoyed by fact the only way is up! Ivan assessed my strengths and weaknesses quickly and we set about raising my game.
Day 1 at Millbrook, we worked on many techniques, including developing peripheral vision on the High Speed Circuit, on/over grip limit skills in the wet, then emergency braking on the Mile Straight, and then rounded things off on the Hill Route to finish. Day 2 was the road driving session, where the previous day’s theory and practical skills were consolidated and applied to the road. I was honestly astonished how much more confident, capable, and most importantly safe I felt driving on road during and after the training. The course is great value for money and your skills are transferable to any car moving forward. I wish I’d done it years ago.
