The day was well structured and Kevin made sure that we covered all the relevant topics.

However, Kevin made it enjoyable and informative when we went back over it. It was an excellent day and I am glad I had the chance to go on it.”

Andy Foster
“Very enjoyable session. Productive and instructor was very good.”
Andrew Green
"Observation of road well ahead by appropriately positioning of the car to react quicker to any hazard perception and smoother driving technique was most useful. Initial briefing should have explained all the driving techniques beforehand, and also proper material should have been prepared to hand out. There should have been some time on a race track to show the difference between normal driving and racing, perhaps as an insight to high speed driving and control.
1) The techniques gave a better insight to hazard perception
2) My confidence as an experienced driver has improved
3) This is an excellent course and benefit is vast."
