- Understand the physical forces acting upon your vehicle and how your actions as a driver affect its behaviour, so as to optimise handling.
- Fine-tune your use of the accelerator, brakes and steering so as to master techniques including high-speed cornering, trail-braking and left-foot braking as appropriate.

- Learn skid control and avoidance, plus wet weather handling.
- If desired, master the graceful art and finesse of power-sliding or drifting.
- Consolidate emergency avoidance techniques, in case one day needed to escape another driver’s mistake.
- Discover how to take full advantage of your car’s handling and active safety technology.
- Then translate the skills mastered in the contained environment of the proving ground to the open road for ultimate control on every journey.

- Advanced observation, anticipation and planning skills, to help you always be in the right place at the right time.

- In short, develop your real-world driving skills to an extremely high level, able to safely enjoy the performance of your sports car year round, in all conditions.
Training Format
- Courses are available midweek and at weekends.
- Your course will be just that – yours: we never expect you to share any element of your course with other clients.
- Training is usually run on a one-to-one format, though you are welcome to share your course with a partner.
- We can also accommodate group courses using several or more trainers; ideal for owners’ clubs.
- Your car will have individual handling traits which are important to understand, hence all training will be conducted in your own car for ultimate benefit.
Training Locations
Located near Bedford and just an hour from London, Millbrook is a 700 acre site that includes some of the most interesting, dynamically challenging and ultimately rewarding driving roads to be found. Specifically designed and built for rigorously testing and developing new cars, the various test tracks are based upon genuine roads; making them far more useful for high performance driver training than any racing circuit, let alone old airfield.
Whilst we have clients from around the world visiting us for training in the UK, we can also deliver Masterclasses abroad as and where appropriate.
