Having recently acquired my own sports car, I wondered if I might benefit from some performance coaching to get the best from it and be able to enjoy this car properly and safely. I wanted to know what my Jaguar XKR can handle and to understand its limitations, and indeed my own. I never imagined though that there was so much more to learn about not just performance driving but also driving in general.

Having driven for so long, I had wondered just what else there was for me to know, but Ivan’s instruction has completely opened my eyes and taken my driving awareness to a whole new level! I learned more in 2 days with Ivan than in all my previous 30 years of driving across the UK, Continental Europe and US.

It was really interesting to have Ivan challenge so many of my long-held perceptions and add massively to my knowledge and technique but, just as importantly, my understanding of why as well as how to apply my new skills on a daily basis. I now feel much more comfortable driving the XKR, with a confidence in the car itself that I never thought possible, and completion of this 2 day course has brought owning a sports car to a level of true enjoyment for me. The combination of using Millbrook on the first day and some great public roads on the second is just brilliant, and the whole experience really good fun as well.

In summary, this first 2-day Total Control Masterclass has opened my eyes to become so much more aware and mindful of how I drive. It’s made me much safer, but also able to enjoy my car in a much more relaxed manner as a result. I found the course to be absolutely fantastic and thoroughly recommend it to anyone. If you really want to enjoy your car and improve your skills, this course is a must.
