The Millbrook Experience

The Millbrook Experience was a fantastic opportunity for me not only to develop my skills as a driver, but also to learn about and test the capabilities and limits of my own car without taking my life into my hands on the open roads. The on-road advanced driving tuition is a real eye-opener, uncovering powers of observation I never knew I had, and has definitely altered and improved the way I drive everyday. Once at Millbrook, with the huge variety of training facilities available, the instructor was able to focus on and improve specific elements of my road and track driving and enable me to explore the handling of my car in a way which you cannot do safely on the road. Highlights included learning how the car reacts and handles at high speed (160mph+) and under extreme braking on the mile straight; how the car can feel perfectly balanced on the high-speed bowl; where the limits of mechanical traction (and computerised traction!) are on the steering pad (and what it feels like when you exceed both!); how to smoothly and quickly navigate the hills and curves of the alpine course, and how to find the right place to apply the throttle out of every corner on the shorter track. It was an intense afternoon, but it was a huge amount of fun: I couldn't stop myself smiling!

 

For someone who enjoys driving but wants to learn more and stretch themselves, it is an invaluable experience.

Motoring journalists driver training course

“It’s only when you get yourself onto a decent driving course that you realise how much there is to learn. The course I did with Driven Ltd has proved absolutely invaluable, and has defiantly made me safer on the road. The most crucial lessons are learnt in the areas of observation and general traffic management, but the car control exercises are also illuminating. I would recommend this course to anyone, it makes a fine springboard towards drastically improving the standard of your driving”.

High Performance Driving Course

 

“Your high performance-driving course was a real eye opener!  Not only have I learnt a huge amount, I have also had the opportunity to explore the performance of my car in complete safety”.

 

“Your ability to read the road, anticipate other drivers and generally make smooth, quick and safe progress was extremely impressive.  By applying your approach it has made my driving less stressful and much more satisfying.  A highly enjoyable day, thank you”!

High Performance Handling Course

 

“I found the driver training very useful. The course makes you analyse your whole driving style and really makes you think about everything from the speed you’re travelling to where you position the car on the road. There’s a lot to take on board, but it has proved very useful in day to day motoring.

 

Also as a motoring journalist I found the second day’s vehicle handling training especially useful – as well as a lot of fun. We all like the chance to throw a car around but there is obviously a serious side to it as well. It gave me an understanding of what a car can and can’t do and how to really get the best out of a machine in the safest way possible.

 

I would recommend this training to everybody”.
