I got free tuition at my last track day at Colerne with MSE and I decided to let the mrs use it. She found it very informative a confidence inspiring and her driving improved greatly in her next session. | |

quote: The guy driving completely ignored him most of the time... 'FLAT OUT!' - and you hear the guy driving coming completely off the throttle. Also the 'instructor' was telling him to do dumb things like brake mid bend, lift off and brake at the bottom of the fox hole on the corner as all your suspension would compress :| ... if it had been damp / wet and he'd of done that down there the back end would've been getting very light. I just don't think your vid demonstrates at all what getting real track tuition is about. It's not about having your mate cheering you on in your passenger seat, it's about driving smoothly, consistantly and learning the basics before trying to go 'FLAT OUT'. This is what an instructor should be, calm, cool, clear instructions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUSQ45SwjkE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSVECywGCFg | |

P.S. I've never had a qualified proper track instructor, but I've been at days where they've been available and the people who use them really value what they have to say. | |

He didn't work for the ring, but i was just wanting to show that if you don't know a track it's worth it. :lol: | |

quote: Was that an 'instructor' ? :o Was the instructor holding the camera? :o despite it being against nurburg's policies... Also didn't sound much of instructor 'Nail it' :| He also tells him 'Got that nasty hair pin in a sec' ... :| when it's miles away, he's got about 10 corners before he reaches it... You sure this wasn't just 'his mate' sitting in the passenger seat telling him what was coming up? He also calls another driver a 'cunt' as he's 'instructing' :lol: [Edited on 12-02-2008 by Paul_J] | |

How many people here have taken up offers of track tuition whilst on/at a trackday? |
