I'm going to some driver training when i get home and i want to know which courses you guys recommend.
I have done the Andy Walsh Car limits course and i enjoyed that and would do it again but i wanted to know what you guys think.

The Dp Development one at Prodrive is meant to be excellent, Slarty did it on here in his CSL>

You wanna go on the FatStig "Extreme angle Newton ahserape professional parking MAX" course.
I've heard its brilliant !!!
Dont Ben Devlin, Richard Westrbook and some other pretty handy souls do 1to1 in your car for half days at any track you want ?? Slarty shared a day with a couple of others and reckoned it was pretty good.

To second that, I was really unsure whether it was worth doing a second day with Andy Walsh, Car Limits, not circuit, and can definately say that the second and in fact the 3rd days were every bit as fun and as rewarding as the first! :-D

Ross knows Don quite well so he may be well worth a PM
Ben Devlin is an ace driver, Mazda Le Mans this year, but man as an instructor he sucked arse :lol:
We spent most of the day spinning off towards Armco with Ben just shouting 'Keep your foot in' whilst pissing his pants at my lame attempts to keep a slippery 400 odd GTR straight-ish.
Another recommendation is Maxx on here. His techniques take some adjusting to, but the man has skills

Highly skilled drivers are one thing but those that can instruct and do it well are another and clearly worth their weight in gold.
I know of a very skilled professional driver that instructs but to be honest he also sucks arse :lol:
Nice way to put it Stuart
