Car Control courses can take place almost anywhere. The most appropriate venue for you depends on the skills that you want to develop.
Open or CloseEach of these venues are chosen for very different reasons. Bruntingthorpe is the best venue for Car Control courses since there is plenty of room for making mistakes that are more likely to be detrimental to your ego than your car.
Masterclass is based at the more challenging track at Anglesey, where we have exclusive use of the track for the duration of the course. It is highly recommended that your car control expertise is already honed before you attend a Masterclass.
Other venues, including Millbrook, are useful for the more experienced drivers who are focusing on improving specific skills. The track environment at Millbrook was built as a professional engineering venue for vehicle dynamics experts and the like, consequently there is relatively little room for error. Good car control skills need to be in place before we go there.
In practice, coaching can take place anywhere, including:
Whilst the roads are not the place for learning car control, there are skills you can practice whilst driving on the road that are related to those that are useful for limit-handling. Used appropriately, these car control skills will reward you with safer and more enjoyable road driving.
Surprisingly, coaching is also perfectly possible on the phone.
Bruntingthorpe is the first choice for learning the basics of car control. It's the place to let your hair down and explore the limit of what is possible.
