Driving schools

Post by PeteC »

Hi all, several years ago I was bought a 'driving experience' as a gift at Oulton Park, and really enjoyed myself! I would like to have a go at a school rather than just an experience, preferably hillclimb, but as I don't have a car (other than my road car) I would have to find a school with their own.
Does anybody out there have any ideas or recomendations?
I live near Liverpool /Chester and would like to find somewhere not to far away.
Thanks Pete

If you use their car it will cost you £300 or more plus the venue and it'll be a track because I know of no hillclimb venues hiring out cars :roll:

If you ever get down my way I'd be happy to show you the way around Goodwood for a donation to my test fee of £130 half day . You could only drive if you hold a race licence or a speed A licence though :wink: I can't get into trackdays there due to the db's limit of 98db's :(
On test days with just 5 cars on track the limit is 105db's.
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

Now there's food for thought!!
I don't hold any track licence at all, maybe the ards course would be useful???

Yes , definitely . It gives you a much better choice of where to track your car plus there are no boy racers losing it in front of you OR hitting you :roll: My experience of trackdays has been mixed regarding safety . When licence holders are on track things are more measured and I don't mean SLOW either :P Decibels at 105db's is easier too.
