How hard is this on my car and tyres?
Chances are, it’s taken you years of hard work to get where you are in life, and to be driving a car powerful enough to make you realise that our coaching could be helpful. If so, the last thing you want to be doing is placing your pride and joy at risk, or abusing it mechanically.
There is no reason why you should need to do any more than fill up with fuel, check levels and give your car a wash at the end of your time with us. Our ethos is all about helping you safely enjoy your sports car to the full by working in harmony with it, not battling against it.
There is absolutely zero pressure to drive your car in any way that you do not wish to, or to drive any faster than you want to (we’re there to hugely stretch your comfort zone, not shatter it). Of course, we won’t be holding you back either if you do wish to drive very quickly and really explore the limits of your car; always within safe parameters in a controlled environment under expert coaching.
If you would like to explore your car’s behaviour at and beyond the edge of the grip envelope, understanding and responding to front and/or rear wheel skids, we offer you the option of soaking the Dynamics Pad at Millbrook. This serves to significantly reduce grip levels, making it easier for your car to break traction, and to do so without placing significant stress on your vehicle’s powertrain or expensive tyres.
We will treat both you and your car with total respect at all times. In describing our service as ‘bespoke performance driver coaching’, we mean that this is your course. Our role is to ensure that you take away from it exactly what you want, whilst being kind to your car in the process:
“I really appreciated your explanations, the level of detail, and relevance to my vehicle’s performance. You’ve certainly heightened my appreciation of the balance of the vehicle, the loading on the tyres, and how to gain the most feedback – in practice, opening the envelope of both performance and safety. My initial objectives were to explore both the car’s and my own limits, learning more about us both to allow me to get the most from our time together: job done!”
