Post Ultimate Car Control

I have been recommended by Jon Frankel who runs Trackfun the Rob Gravett Ultimate Car Control course <a href="http://www.ultimatecarcontrol.com/" target="_blank">website</a>

They have been on it and it is meant to be amazing. might also stop me trashing my RS again when I get it back!!!

I have rang Rob and have managed to get a place on the course tomorrow (half price!!!) at the Transport Research Laboratory at Bracknell.

Rob is an ex BTCC champion, the day is 9.00 to 5.00, got to better than decorating my hall!!!!

I will let you know on Monday how I got on

Would be very interested for your views on the course - something I think I ought to do.

How did you get 1/2 price?!

George,

Hope you enjoy the course, something like that is on my "to do" list, even before I do any mods to the car.

Problem is, most of those courses are around £500, which is quite a lot of money

Had a great day on Saturday and if you are in the UK, although expensive, I would thoroughly recommend it.

I couldn't believe how much I learn't about car dynamics and managed to improve my car control in only one day.

There was only 5 of us so it was a really intensive day, but to have complete control of a rear wheel drive BMW on the absolute limit in the wet without traction control is an experience I will never forget.

In my opinion we should forget all this modifying and spend our money more wisely learning how to drive a performance car properly and more importantly safely!!!
