The Ride Drive Premier Gold Advanced Driving Experience represents a programme of activities that can only be described as an example of pure motoring indulgence. This all-inclusive, top-class package is the flagship of the Ride Drive range of advanced motoring services and is guaranteed to provide wonderful memories that will last for many years to come.

Included in this extensive programme are two luxurious nights at the magnificent Monk Fryston Hall Hotel that is situated in the Vale of York near Leeds. All meals and services are included within the price, so you haven't got to worry about organising a thing.

On the evening of your arrival you will be served with a fabulous dinner from an exclusive Ride Drive menu, after which you will be joined for a drink at the hotel bar by your personal Ride Drive advanced driving specialist to discuss with you the content of the two day programme.

The following morning you awake to a full and hearty breakfast, after which you will again be greeted at the hotel by your personal advanced driving specialist who will accompany you in your car throughout the forthcoming activities.

After a short briefing you set off for the disused aerodrome to complete the off-road handling skills section of the schedule. Here, in a controlled environment, and for a whole three hours of one-to-one coaching, you will be guided through a series of handling disciplines covering topics such as effective power management, car stability factors, understeer, oversteer and collision avoidance. We will assist you to realise the performance potential of both yourself and your car and to discover how inappropriate driver input will produce an adverse effect on your level of car control.

Having discovered the 'Dark Side' of your car, in terms of handling behaviour, and sharpened your vehicle handling skills, we test your reflexes and car control skills on a proper wet-surface skid pan. This is an hour-long period, where using a supplied vehicle, you develop an in-depth level of knowledge of the three causes of skidding, how to avoid a skid and how you can control a car effectively on a slippery surface.

At the end of these airfield exercises it’s time for a lunch at a friendly and pleasant village public house where you have the chance to reflect upon and to discuss the activities of the morning.

It has to be said that the Yorkshire counties offer some of the most exciting and picturesque roads in Great Britain and after lunch you will guided through some of the very best of them as you begin to get to grips with a whole new system of driving a car, a system that may well break with your current driving style. Working with the car, instead of being at odds with it, we begin to show you how you can realise far more from the experience of driving your car and your potential to make smooth unobtrusive progress in a public road driving environment.

At the end of the day you return to the comfort and tranquillity of the hotel to relax and enjoy a splendid evening meal whilst soaking up the atmosphere of this beautiful historic setting.

The following morning, and after another magnificent breakfast, you are again greeted by your personal advanced driving specialist before setting off into the spectacular Yorkshire countryside for the 2nd full-day of the programme. By drawing upon the experience of the handling and skid pan sessions of the previous day you will find that this is where you really start to connect with your car and in far more depth that you may not have previously thought was possible. You will certainly understand what we mean by driver and machine blending together in perfect harmony.
