Want more than just an 'experience' doing a handful of laps at a racing school? Then this is for you! Do a FULL day in a brand new Supercharged Lotus Exige S at Silverstone with expert tuition. This course gives you track time of around 9.30am - 5.30pm (daylight & weather permitting) so you will get lots of track time on the day & can really help develop your driving skills.

The track used is usually the Southern part of the Formula One Grand Prix Circuit (all the best bits of the F1 track), there won't be too much traffic on circuit plus every other car that is on circuit has an instructor in or is a professional driver doing passenger 'hot laps'.

Cost is £495 Inc. VAT per person for a group of 3 or even less for groups of 4 or more.

Anthony's comments: "This course is extremely popular & always gets fantastic feedback from my customers - please read below. I've even organised courses for my brother & his friends! It gives you a the chance to learn what performance driving is all about in a relaxed environment and with the time & space to process things in your mind a lot more than a couple of 5 lap sessions you would normally get on an experience. This is for anyone: from complete novices looking to get a taster of what it's all about, track day warriors or seasoned racers looking to perfect their styles or even for a family or group of friends wanting to have a good day out."

For individuals, the day is to be shared with 2 other clients found by Anthony. For a group of people, an optimum of 3 people is recommended, up to a maximum of 5 or 6 in order to give a good experience. The driving time is shared equally between guests on a rotational basis throughout the day (ie for a group of 3, each person would get roughly 20 minutes of driving per hour)."

For information on dates, please email here. Please supply if possible: When you are hoping to do this, if weekdays or weekends are preferred, how many people (if more than yourself), any previous experience.

Further notes:

• To do this course, all you have to do is 'arrive & drive'. You will need your driving licence, but Silverstone provide helmets
• The Lotus Exige is a reasonably small sportscar! The official requirements are: Height: 5ft 2ins - 6ft 2ins, Maximum Weight: 16st. If you are taller than this but skinny, it's not a problem! If you are heavier than this but short, it's not a problem! Please email if in any doubt
• Weather - The day DOES run if it is raining. Many people find they actually learn more in these conditions. However, if is raining too heavily to hamper visibility badly or prevent any decent speed on the straights (ie there's too much standing water), the session cannot run. This is also applicable for thick fog or snow & ice - any conditions that seriously impede the enjoyment or safety of driving around a circuit. In the circumstances of a non-event, the day will have to rebooked at mutual convenience. In the circumstances of a partial event (ie the day has to be cancelled by lunchtime) a credit to the value of the session remaining will be given.

"Just a quick note to say how much fun I had yesterday. Fantastic! Until yesterday, the smell of burnt rubber has always put me off a bit, but now I kinda like it. I had speed-induced dreams last night and woke up thinking about high speed cornering, apex clipping, and drift. Go faster!!!" George Nimeh

"Thanks for an outstanding day at Silverstone last week. I have been on many track days but this was without question the best I have ever attended. You tailored the day to our individual skills (or lack of!) and made sure that we all had a fun day. I learnt more from your briefing than I have learnt from all the previous track days I have attended. The success of the day was the one to one tuition and a group of three was the ideal size." Andrew Lowden

"Could I take this opportunity to thank you for a brilliant day. It exceeded all our expectations....we were all very impressed with your ability, not just in your car control, but in your ability to give meaningful instruction." Steve Green

"Just a quick note to say thank you again for a fantastic day yesterday in the Exige. Not only was it a totally fun day, but I was also amazed at how hard you could push a car and still keep it on the track (even my spin didn't end up on the grass). But then again, in the hot laps with you it was so apparent how much more the car had to give - only whet's the appetite further! Your teaching style just generates confidence which enables learning to happen so much more quickly.....On a serious note I have already noticed the impact on my road driving. Strangely enough the biggest change has been the use of a balanced throttle through a corner - it is far smoother now that I am accelerating at the right point. This was by far the best track day I have ever done - 43 laps with me at the wheel and not one person passed me! I will certainly be coming back for more next year." Colin Brooker

"Thanks for a great day. I want to do it again........so does Andy. Well done." Jeremy Dunn

"The day in the Exige was excellent, both from a training and enjoyment point of view. Many of the techniques, when applied to normal road driving, within speed limits provide massive benefits in terms of driving style. Your way of teaching is particularly effective, developing confidence and improving technique." John Allen

"...just a quick thank you for Sunday - a fantastic if exhausting day, learnt loads and certainly got the bug. Thanks for instruction and patience." Rob McCormac

"Thanks for a great day recently. Anthony [nephew] really enjoyed himself and I was pleasantly surprised at how much he was able to get out of it seeing that he has only been driving for a short time. I had a brilliant time." Jules Kirby

"I have to really thank you for a great day...I really appreciated that you promote driving as a feeling rather than a mechanical process. I think it can make one a much more capable driver. It is said the ultimate driver is the one who is at one with his machine, and I certainly felt encouraged to cultivate this. Apart from this, it was simply great fun!" Kamal Kalsi
