First thing to say is that I did totally enjoy the Dynamic Handling Masterclass with you. It’s the first time I have ever done anything like it and, as I said at the outset, if I could come away feeling more comfortable and confident in my ability to control the XKR I would be very happy. And that is exactly what you delivered for me. For that, I have a lot to thank you for.

I learnt many, many things in the day – some pretty scary to start with but as the day progressed things which had seemed alien at first became much more natural. Even left foot braking! And that is something which I have persevered with in normal driving and in doing so I feel much more in control, and as you predicted it has made my driving style a lot smoother. Looking back on the course, the stand-out experience was the mini alpine section. Terrific fun and also learnt a lot about car positioning, apex spotting and braking. I can still replay your guidance in my mind which is a real indication of the quality of your teaching.

You asked about ideas for possibly improving the day. I struggled with that, as on reflection I do think you have the mix of activities and progressively tougher challenges pretty much spot-on.
