I recently spent 3 amazing days with Ivan undertaking the Total Control Masterclass course at Millbrook and then onto the B roads around Cambridgeshire. I will start by saying I had never done a single driving course or track day prior to coming on this, but wanted to have a better understanding and ultimately learn to control some of my new car’s huge amount of power and torque. Having never really owned a powerful car in the past I wanted to ensure I did the responsible thing and take some professional tuition, but I also knew I wouldn’t be happy driving around a track for a few laps in someone else’s car on a ‘Track Day’ experience package, so a Google search lead me to Ivan and Total Car Control.

I highly recommend this course to anyone: whether a complete novice and beginner like myself, or if you are looking to improve your already impressive Nürburgring lap times, this is the course for you. Ivan was fantastic and extremely patient; he ensured I was pushed outside my comfort zone, but not to the point I couldn’t handle it. Millbrook was amazing and I felt myself improving each day; my confidence building with each lap or exercise. I pretty much had zero ego or delusions that I was a good driver prior to this course, yet it did show me how much I really didn’t know and that made the course so much more rewarding: learning the correct way to drive, taking corners properly, understanding weight transfer, and how the car felt and reacted in under and oversteer situations.

The one thing I was a little unsure about ahead of the course was the final day, driving on the B roads. I didn’t think it would be very useful and thought it would be better to have the day at Millbrook, but I was very wrong. Taking what we had done for the previous two days and then transferring that to “real world driving” was extremely beneficial to me and gave me a much greater road sense and car positioning along with improving my decision making by using all the information from around me.

Overall I was blown away by this course. Like I said at the beginning, I was a complete novice and just a normal guy having never done anything like this before, and I cannot recommend this course enough. Ivan was fantastic and completely down to earth, and talked to me in ways I understood so that I could apply his guidance. It’s 5 Stars from me.
