Whilst none of the advanced driving options offered on these pages have to be completed in any particular order, the Ride Drive Half-Day Advanced Driving Experience does represent a sound introduction to the techniques that are required to get the best out of driving a high performance car within the public road environment.  This is an event that takes place in your local area, using your own car and has all the right attributes to get you on the right track towards realising the most from your car ownership experience.

Whether you want to make your first step into the realms of developing your skills to an advanced level, or wish to top up your existing skills by using this programme as a refresher session, or even if you just want to dip your toe in the water to see what Ride Drive is all about, this option will certainly provide excellent value both in terms of cost and benefit.  However, if at the end of the session you feel you should have opted for the full day programme (S02PM), then no need to worry, as we will happily book you in for another half-day at no additional overall cost than if you had chosen the full day to begin with.

If you would like to be able to drive a winding rural B-Class road in a manner that has spirit and pace, and be able to do so by accurately reading every bend and overtaking opportunity you encounter so that you hardly have to touch the brake, then you have come to the right place.  This isn’t about driving everywhere at speed, but more about producing a smooth and flowing drive where you may cover the distance efficiently by using accuracy and the intelligent interpretation of your road environment to make unobtrusive progress whilst remaining safe and in control at all times. It is all about you gaining a better understanding of your performance car and how to use it effectively on the road, as well as to develop your skills and overall personal performance as an advanced driver.

Unlike many organisations we are not in the game of looking for square pegs to go into square holes, as we will happily take on people of all shapes and sizes and who have all different levels of expectation and existing ability.  Basically, whilst certain factors will always need to be included, we will always build into the session the elements you want to cover so that you will always get the best out of your involvement with us.
