Half Day Instructor 1:1 Assessment

£299.00 inc VAT

..


The Half Day 1:1 Instructor Assessment training programme is geared up for drivers who have already passed stages 1 – 5 of our ‘Driver Club – Motorsport Development Card’ or who already has significant track or racing experience needing far less time to develop the skill needed to successfully Instruct.

There will be a short session where you will be driving with 1:1 training in order to build a understanding of our track set-ups and driving etiquette across three motorsport disciplines: Track, Drift and Stunt Driving. After this familiarisation session – one of our instructors will ask you to literally take their seat and ask you perform a series of laps relaying driver feedback as an instructor would, guiding our clients safely around our circuits. You will be graded on consistency, language and skill by intervening in difficult situations in order to save the vehicle from skidding off the track. This is the ultimate test of reaction speed, vehicle dynamics, knowledge and communication skills.

 

Upon Successful completion of the ‘Driver Club – Instructor Assessment’ you will receive:

– Official ‘Drift Limits Instructor Grade D Certification’ granting you access to become one of our specialist Motorsport Instructors. Full time or part time opportunities will be offered.
– Exclusive Drift Limits ‘MOTORSPORT INSTRUCTOR’ snapback cap or beanie only available for successful drivers.
– Complimentary ‘Driver Club Thrill Gift Voucher’ for a friend or family member to a value of £79.
