Neutreus Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 After an extremely succesful trip to CAT Driver Training, I thought I would start a post to see who else may be interested in attending an event like this. If there are sufficient numbers, I will start discussing with Jo at CAT to see what date are available (it would likely be September/October). Please note that these events are for MEMBERS ONLY as CAT discount the prices for our club. So if you are a non-member and are interested, please PM Chilli Red (Club Secretary) to find out how to become a member. I would add that the benefits of membership go way beyond this one event of course. If you'd like to know a little more about what the day would involve, the thread with our recent feedback/pics is here and the overvew of the day from CAT is below: There is access to the 5 unique circuits at the renowned Millbrook Proving Ground, a venue that is not normally accessible for 'track days' and the general public. Activities designed for the different circuits are: • Learn threshold braking from high speed on the Mile Straight • High speed driving, potentially to the maximum of your car, on the banked circuit of the High Speed Circuit • Drive the demanding Alpine Route circuit with its hills, and variety of corners from hairpins to long and sweeping • Take on the tight, twisty and challenging Handling Circuit • Put your car through its paces on the open spaces of the Steering Pad/Mile Straight Apron An instructor will accompany you on all the circuits, and the objective is to teach you how to get the best from your car and develop your performance driving skills in a controlled environment and at a pace you are comfortable with. Short presentations in vehicle dynamics will help you to understand the relationship between driver input and vehicle balance and control. From this comes the appreciation of how to safely drive your vehicle at grip limit within the controlled confines of a track environment. At the end of the day, your new found skills can be put to the test in a timed shoot out around a gymkhana-style course laid out on the Steering Pad/Mile Straight Apron. If you want more info or details of potential cost, feel free to PM me but please post up if you are interested.

blobbish Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Neil, which course are you looking at booking this time, as this will impact who is likely to attend.

I will be interested depending on the Course you're looking at exactly my thoughts - I wonder if Colin/Paul/Jo could let us know what the 'next stage' course might be for a group that have already attended Performance Driver 'Track' Day training? The fact that we all want to go back for more, should serve as an indicator to all that haven't yet been, how good a day it is. 2 1 Black Pearl 2010 (60) 370Z Auto GT Pack Connect Premium - 'Cool Dad' EBC Ultimax (slotted) front discs and Ferodo DS2500 front pads - auf wiedersehen pet Storm White 2014 (64) 370Z Nismo #376 - the new 'Cool Dad' GT-R Brake Fluid II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to look at organising 2 different events. The first, for those that want to attend the day we just did and the second, for a follow up to the performance day (I recall Colin mentioning Cornering Masterclass as one I think). If you're interested in either attending the Performance Day or a follow up, just post up and I'll collate in the original thread. 2023 Cupra Formentor VZ2 310PS AWD - Pan Roof & 360 Birdseye camera - arrived 18th March '23. 2011 Gunmetal Nissan GTR Premium Edition - Litchfield Stage 1, Miltek Y-Pipe, Alcon Discs, Ferodo DS2050 Pads, Flat bottomed steering wheel - NOW MAKING MEMORIES FOR SOMEONE ELSE 2016 Sepang Blue Audi RS3 - APR Stage 1 tune with High Flow air filter and Secondary Decat Pipes - I'LL MISS THE POPS AND BANGS (BUT THE NEIGHBOURS WON'T) 2012 Pearl White 370Z GT Edition - Invidia Gemini catback exhaust with burnt titanium rolled tips, Stillen Gen 3 Intake Kit, UpRev, 15mm Eibach spacers, Satin Black painted bumpers - GONE TO A NEW OWNER WITHIN THE CLUB BUT WILL BE VERY FONDLY REMEMBERED. 2005 Gun Metal 350Z GT, Alezan Leather & plenty of mods - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_K Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 very interested in the second, just need to understand the content... likely I could be persuaded for the first, if spaces needed filling.

Jeff-W Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 I did the Cornering Masterclass - just looking for what I posted about 4 or so years ago. Epic. It rained almost all day; we got soaked; there was no need to wet the skid pan; I got a hat for being "most improved" (read - I was rubbish at the start); brilliant day, and as big a learning curve as the intro course which has just happened. I seem to remember, as I was Events guy at the time, that CAT were prepared to allow Club members to do this course even if they had not done the Performance Driver one, but we would have to check. 1 Fred I - 350Z 2007 Gunmetal. 6 CD changer, full leather, reverse sensors. SOLD. Fred II - 370Z GT 2011 Gunmetal. Premium connect. GT spec. Seriously un-modified. See-through windows, and a wheel at each corner. Sold 13 July 14. Gone. Fred III - 2014 facelift 370GT. Magma red. Reversing sensors. Invidia Gemini CBE. Sold 2 April 2016. Fred IV - 2016 Daytona Blue 370Z GT. Reversing sensors. K & N panel filters. Invidia Gemini CBE. Full front wrap - Ventureshield II. Sold 23 Mar 23. Billy – 2022 Jaguar F-Type R 575PS. Portofino blue. Front ppf and full ceramic finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev T Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I did the performance day and the cornering masterclass probably 6-7 years ago and would be interested in doing it all again. I remember them being informative and building confidence around your ability. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
