Over a cup of coffee we explain the basics of how to achieve car stability at all times, without which it is impossible to go quickly safely or consistently. This information can take a little time to explain, but having done so we get straight down to the driving. We start by assessing your ability to brake and change gears using "heel-and-toe". How competent you are in that department determines how we coach you for the rest of the day.

The Lotus Elise is the perfect car for one-to-one coaching because it is light, has the precise handling characteristics of a single seater, allows the coach to intervene as necessary, to communicate easily, (the cars are equipped with an intercom) whilst its flat floorpan gives a perfect vision of the driver's foot work. It brakes well and it is quick enough for learning the essential skills.
These skills are universal to all manual gearbox cars with no exceptions. For the avoidance of doubt they can be deployed in a road car as well as a competition car. You will not extract the most from yourself or your car until you are absolutely proficient in the way you use your feet.
