any further interest in this ?i recently done the tuition day and it was brill ,id really b up for another go on the track .what can i say ,its the only place to find out about over/understeer on an mr2 relatively safely .i learnt loads in a safe ish enviroment ,very much worth what £40 or so .if u havnt been on a track before it will surprise you (and prob make u realise your not a driving god -did it with me anyway) but honestly its very good ,cmon peeps

I'm really interested in this but i have never had the MR2 on the track before. So i dont know what to expect in terms of vehicle wear and tear and of course my own ability. Do the tuition sessions run regularly?

If you are interested, please copy and paste the list of names and add your name to it!

I am sure they do run regularly.

This is an open session so if you go out and do 2 laps as a confidence builder it's ok.

You'll be ok either way! Get your name down fella!

I can do most of those dates. Is it as simple as dividing the £2000 by the number of attendees?

before that i never had an mr2 (any car really -had a bike on ,so i guess i had a bit of a start)its very safe and u wont bin your car (depends on your driving really )but there was very little wear to the car -the tyres were a bit scrubbed in but you would expect that .the only things it could wear down is as said tyres and brake pads ,mine are absolutely fine and the car still drives as it should .of course youl b revving it more than usual but if the car is in good order before im sure itll b fine .just take your time and get to learn braking points and stuff .its brilliant ,do it
