i've done a few of them but never the ones aimed for race drivers. the ones i've done are alot of fun and i've always come way having learnt something. but i think there might be better tuition available for the more professional/competitive driver.

Hi,

I did the panamera turbo course there last year and really enjoyed it. I would certainly do it again.

I've always wanted to go on one of the courses at www.driverdp.com They had a good review in 911&PW a few years ago.

Willy Green.

One of the great historic racers, been racing since the 60's. He'll teach you loads and he's great laugh. He wins races now regularly. I have passed 430 Scuderias in his '80's Capri around Silverstone in the wet, on the outside of corners. I raced him in my RS Lightweight with him in Joe Bamford's lightweight on a test day.

He has a Capri (and a M3). If you want to drive fancy road cars go on a drive it day, if you want to know how to race a car have a day with Willy.
