I wanted to write to really praise Colin my instructor.
Having done many experiences and driven many cars on many tracks with instructors, including Thruxton in the past; Colin is by far the best instructor I have ever had. His understanding of the track, his ability to coach in the most effective way and to get the best out of a driver supersedes anything I have previously done. I would very much like to do some further sessions with him.
Absolutely fantastic afternoon. Better than any other i have previously attended. I did a Cayman 1 to 1 session, explained to my instructor at the start that i struggle to process information on many of these sessions where the instructor constantly shouts instructions. Colin my instructor was awesome! i really felt that he was pushing me to succeed, finding my capabilities and i saw marked improvement lap after lap. He wanted me to get the best out of the session rather than preserve tyres and car wear as many places do. The first time i have ever walked away from one of these sessions feeling that i genuinely achieved something. This is the greatest track in the county in my opinion, don’t waste your money anywhere else.
