I have owned some very fast cars in my time but was always aware that I didn’t know how to get the best out of them. I was introduced to Nick after carrying out some research on driver instruction. I arranged one to one tuition in his Mazda MX5. We turned up at Bedford Autodrome on a cold and damp November morning. We had a driver briefing and then Nick took me around the circuit which was very eye opening. It was then my turn. The circuit was damp/wet and I hadn’t driven the car before and was a bit nervous. I needn’t have been. From driving out of the pit garage to completing a few laps, Nick was constantly telling me where to steer the car, when to accelerate, when to brake and how hard to accelerate and brake. Throughout the day the conditions changed. I was driving faster, with less input from Nick and did some impressive spins! If you don’t spin, you aren’t trying, that is what I think. Each lap I drove was faster and better than the previous one. I was controlling the car. I could feel when it was on the edge and could control it when it stepped out of line. Near the end of the day it was raining hard. However , I was driving around the circuit much faster than I had been at any other time of the day. Would I recommend The Real Gran Turismo? Definitely. I believe I am a better driver than I was before the track day.
