Many can teach you how to race: perform under stress; get around the circuit; the lines to take; when & how much to accelerate. Very few have the knowledge to teach you how to optimise your driving of the car: it's dynamic nuances; & optimising tyre grip for the complete lap.

Excellent, exactly what I needed. Superb teaching - I know what I am talking about as I have taught at school and university including on Teacher Training courses. I was a different driver at the end of the day with increased awareness in how to read the road and honed techniques. The crowning triumph is that I can now back seamlessly into a parking space. Thank you CAT and Steve!

TLDR: Amazing day, excellent customer service, fantastic learning experience. Worth every penny I can't recommend this company enough. Booked a 1 day, Track level 1, one to one. I had Paul as my instructor and he was excellent. Booking everything in was nice and easy. Picked up the phone to talk about what I wanted and they were happy to help point me in the right direction. Had covid the day before but all rearranged without any fuss.
Only myself and Paul on the entire set of circuits on the weekend and enjoyed learning ABS manoeuvres, the handling and alpine circuits, J turns and the high speed bowl. Hitting the apex repeatedly with Paul's feedback each time on how to improve was great and the demonstrations in his car beforehand were confidence inspiring for my turn in mine. I loved the alpine circuit as it had such a short cut-through loop to keep hitting the corner again and again. Paul even grabbed some screen wash when the light came on unexpectedly in my car and raindexed down the windscreen after one high speed blast had left 40,000 midges embedded on it. Negatives - because otherwise it looks like they paid me to write this - toilets.
Make sure you use the ones belonging to UTAC and not CAT - who do a good job being stuck on a hill in the middle of nowhere but proper plumbing is better :) Will definitely be back to book more, perhaps a day out in their Caterham beckons. I can see why quite a few of my Ferrari club colleagues have come here to do their courses. It's an incredible place to explore the limits of your car without 40 other people trying to get past you on a track.
It seems expensive but not when you consider you have 8 hours of one to one instruction and an entire set of circuits to play without interruption. Bang for buck is exceptionally high. Don't forget to fill up. My Ferrari always says range 282 miles when the tank is full, within the first 20 minutes it still read as a full tank but range had dropped to 102 miles :)

If you want to find the limits of your car safely, this is the place to come. The fact that CAT have access to the whole of Millbrook makes for an amazing day. That combined with Paul's instruction and knowledge of the engineering of cars adds a whole other level of awareness of what is going on with the car, the conditions and you the driver. I'm now much better prepared for track days and will definitely be back for the level 2 course.

Had a PCGB Performance Driver Track Day event with CAT today. A great experience, the teachers and staff were super friendly, constant and welcome offers of refreshments throughout, great tuition and great facilities. Only wish there was more time to put the theory into practice as there's a lot to learn but if you can take away a few things from the day you can practice somewhere safely and increase your value from the day. It'll be a better way to spend those Sunday morning early drives; practice new skills learned on the day.
A particular thank you to my teacher, Steve, who was very encouraging and enthusiastic the whole day, so generous with his knowledge and helpful. Highly recommend CAT Driver Training.

A very well organised and presented training day. This has helped me understand so much more of how car safety systems work and made me understand their capabilities. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve their knowledge, skill and safety when driving on the road or track. Paul was excellent in balancing theory and getting me to implement it, great day out, many thanks to the CAT driver training team

I had an amazing day at Millbrook with CAT driver training exploring the performance of my car in a safe and structured environment. Paul was excellent in delivering the information needed to help me understand what the car was doing, why it was doing it and how to respond in each situation. The course isn't cheap but it does offer great value, making use of the perfect location & top level instructors to apply the practical training behind the theory and certainly worth doing if you are looking to be faster & safer on track.
