Driver 61 Reviews 102

This really is driver-coaching perfection. Scott's analytical stepped approach is so easy to absorb and has clearly been very well honed over the years. It is designed to deeply embed learning and really does give you a lifelong skill set to work with, even after just one day. My "tutor" was Joe Crook, who also gets 5 stars all round. I am itching to get out there and put new found skills and understanding into practice. Before I attended I had my doubts as to whether the experience could really justify the high cost. Despite the rave reviews, until you have been there yourself you just don't know. But, as predicted, it was invaluable for anyone wanting to get round a track faster and safer, with more confidence to push the limits.

The great part of this course was bringing theory into reality - vision and 'feel' particularly were instigated in a very useful way, that allowed me to go away and work purposefully on developing the necessary skills.

A rare chance to put the theory into practice with an airfield track to yourself and well constructed 121 instruction in the car next to you. No class room sessions just clear instructions on the key components to help find the car limits under safe control. You will come away having seen the results in practice eager to see if you can apply them in a race setting. I feel like I now understand what to do and have proved I can even do it( some of the time) in a nice soft MX5 - can’t wait to try it in my race car!!

Had a really good day with Andrew. His coaching was great and he explained everything very well. From his feedback I now have a clear list of things to work on. It was exactly the sort of course I was looking for and I will definitely book on again in the future.

I can say I am very happy with what we achieved yesterday at the track with Joe. Breaking down the learning process into pieces and testing them one by one helps to digest the learning process... . Also having literally no-one else on the track helps to focus only on yourself, car and circuit. I bet there are a lot of other courses that teach you how to drive on a track, but this course teaches you how you can continue on your own to teach yourself better to find your limit and how to exploit that limit..

Had a fantastic day today. Was quite a learning curve with an unfamiliar car and an unfamiliar circuit. But Andrew was brilliant as he took me through the structured day. I learnt a huge amount through the exercises and practice.
Thoroughly enjoyable and informative. Looking forward to putting it all into practice.

Excellent days driving tuition. The instructor Andrew was very friendly and knew how to coach without overloading my brain.
By the end the day I was flying around the circuit much faster yet much more in control of the vehicle.
Having exclusive use of the circuit had huge advantages as we could concentrate purely on my driving without having to worry about other vehicles

Andrew Bentley is an excellent coach. That day was unvaluable teaching, it is worth every penny. Excellent conditions, total safety, great fun. I had a blast. Thank you Driver61

Great coaching session, very hands-on, time on track and behind the wheel maximized throughout. Off-track facilities pretty basic but not a problem for me - I was there for the driving and the coaching, nothing else. Highly recommended!!

This was my 2nd coaching session with Scott and it was even better than the first. The unique thing about Driver61 coaching is that you get 5+ hours of solid driving on a private circuit with no distractions so you can laser focus on particular techniques and hone them through repetition. It really helped me improve fluidity and with quickly progressing to the limit at each stage of the corner. Scott is a brilliant coach and I definitely came away with a bit of extra pace

A great day on a private track. The content was excellent and you have loads of time to try out all the techniques as well as the drills to understand the concept. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be faster!

I had an excellent day with Andrew. We went through and identified many common errors with my technique and made step improvements in my approach. I am looking forward to getting back on track and putting this new learning in to practise!

Should have done this a decade ago, highly recommended!

Scott really knows his stuff, and breaks down guidance into easy to understand steps. An excellent lesson that has given me tools to improve on the track.

Great day, great venue. Sun and rain so good to have benefit of driving in both conditions. Andrew was great teacher, very clear, demo first then plenty of time for me to practise/repeat. Broke it down into 4 parts so worked on each section, then added them together. All made sense then! Will definitely re-book once I've done a couple more race meetings (Radical) and put this session into real life racing! Many thanks to Scott and Andrew for fun, relaxed but extremely useful day! ps and a very nice Pub lunch! Cheers, Dominic

Andrew was really friendly, informative and not only explained what happened in all manner of situations but managed to get me to feel what was happening.

Thankyou for a brilliant day focused on driving fundamentals rather than coaching how to drive the track. I am confident of being able to use these skills across many situations. Great to be able to build the skills throughout the day and repeat the techniques to get them embedded. Plenty to think about when I am next on track and I am looking forward to building from here. Thanks

A very impresive day. I am now looking forward to racing starting again and hope I remember the brilliant coaching.

Andrew is an excellent communicator and this is the best tuition on fast track driving ive ever had , in the right car and right environment.We were able to practice numerous drills that help enbed information in my head that id never fully understood before ..full marks and a sorted day ..hopefully no one will read this review and discard this type of training as expensive and needless so i can win counless races while others wallow in self pity for not making the effort to understand their driving technique!!

It showed up the difference between an amateur and professional driver. Best things were vision, throttle control, trail braking and positioning through rotation. The masterclass videos and track guides are excellent. Pity no racing until at least May.
