Default Wakefield Driver Training

I have been thinking about doing some driver training to learn a bit more about how to get the best out of my car. Is anyone else interested in a day at Wakefield Park next month?

Proposed date Wednesday 11th March 2009.

Michael Navybox from www.mikesmanor.com has confirmed that he is available on this date, and is keen to offer personalised training for 2-10 people.

Schedule

Mike suggests arriving the afternoon before, so we can walk the track before dark to map out the lines and braking points. That night he is available back at the manor to discuss the training (and possibly have a couple of beverages).

On the Wednesday morning another walk of the track before the track is open. It is a general "Speed off the Street" day, so the track is open to everyone. From 9am the instruction starts with time in your car and also in Mikes Turbo MR2 throughout the day. As well as helping get your lap times down, Mike will also offer information on how to conserve the brakes, set up the car properly and how to read other tracks. He offers a money back guarantee that you will be happy.

Approximate costs are as follows:

Wakefield track day $120 (+ Wakefield license if you do not have one already)
Mike's training $250 (Depending on the number of people).
Tue accommodation at Mikes Manor $120 including breakfast, or cheaper in a shared room.
You do not have to stay at the Manor if you have other accommodation or live within driving distance.

I think it is pretty good value for a night in Goulburn, day at the track and training for about $500 bucks!

If you need further info, let me know or give Mike a call on the numbers listed on his web site.

Cheers,

Ben
