Looking to go to a performance driving school ideally in Ireland but will go to the uk. Would really love to know how to handle an e30.
Any suggestions?
any idea of the costs involved?
What did they teach you?

All help much appreciated!

Thanks

I've not used it, but the school at Three Sisters in Wigan, Lancashire is highly rated by those I spoken to who've been. I have raced on the circuit, though, and it is exceptionally good fun!

Best to actually learn anything is Silverstone and Bedford.

What do you want to learn? How to drive fast round a track or how to drift. They are two different things and will be catered for in different ways :wink:
