Thanks so much for a great day On Road this week. I got so much more from it than I had anticipated. Having driven over 500,000 miles on road, I came to realise that this isn’t necessarily a great thing. 500k of not so good habits is harder to overcome than 100k! At Millbrook a few weeks ago for my Dynamic Handling day, I absolutely loved the session on the Outer Handling Circuit, which gave me time to progressively practice new techniques, lap by lap, hence build more competence and confidence.

Learning the limits of the car whilst braking on the Mile Straight was very useful: wow, I didn’t know a car could stop that quickly! The banked High Speed Circuit was vital to help me gain understanding of the limit point. I thought I was strong at looking ahead, especially on motorways, but clearly there was more room for improvement to help with planning entry and exit of corners. I now totally agree that the 2nd day, On Road, is essential. The consolidation of learning from Millbrook is vital.

I learnt so much and really felt I got value out of the day as we got to practice so much. I’ll no doubt be in touch again.
