A fun and informative day. The team at CAT focus on educating you alongside the fun on their club performance day. Lots of tips to take into some interesting road drives over the coming years.
A personalised course was put together for myself and 5 friends, and I couldn't believe how much we learned and how enjoyable it was. I will absolutely be coming back, and spending more time and money on modifying my driving instead of trying to modify my car!
Great learning with step by step approach. Would recommend to every Porsche driver to do at least one.
Expert, supportive and impactful training that really enables you to understand and use how cars are designed to corner quickly. So well organised by such a friendly team and a unique location. Couldnβt be better!
This day enabled me to investigate my driving ability and understand the capabilities of the vehicle i own in a safe and structured environment. The team at CAT driver training developed my skills and road craft and encouraged me to explore the cars potential. Miles meant Smiles. A fantastic Day π
Superbly run day and practical and tailored tuition. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics of their car in multiple situations. I hope I will be safer and more confident. thankyou Nick
Wonderful organisation of the day and brilliant (brilliant) instruction from Colin and Paul. Will be booking for further sessions.
An excellent day spent and lots learnt. The team from CAT are great and very knowledgeable and the course will make a huge difference in my track driving overall
This was an excellent Advanced Driver course, delivered by highly experienced instructors. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand the handling characteristics and limits of their car, and be able to put it into practice on the handling track.
Excellent course and learnt a lot about myself as a driver, my car and how is handles in different situations and about the physics of driver - car - road. Paul shared his knowledge in an easy to understand way, and I left with a very useful set of drawings and figures to use for future reference. All in all a very enjoyable day.
A very constructive very structured and Informative day of training
Overall no doubt a 10/10 track driving training experience. After spending the full day with Colin at the incomparable UTAC proving ground I am now able to corner more quickly, with less risk and exploiting the handling characteristics of the car in a way that I did not understand before. The course method of building up skills individually (braking, steering, throttle use etc.) and then putting these together really works. This is delivered in way that combines demonstration, explanation of the theory and loads of practical time at the wheel means that you cover ground quickly and it goes in. Of course this only works if you have an instructor who can a) drive a race car b)knows how to teach c)is an expert and can relate to your car and knows why cars work the way they do. Colin is undoubtedly an expert driver, car development engineer and teacher
Great experience all round. Would recommend to anyone looking to gain more confidence in the capabilities of their sports or Supercar. Suited to all levels of experience
Cat Driver Training's Road Driving Academy is an exceptional performance driving school that delivers top-quality instruction and training for both beginner and experienced drivers. The school's commitment to safety, skill-building, and hands-on learning make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their driving skills, boost their confidence on the road or track. I had a great day with Paul which was full of learning as well as hands on driving experience, allowing to implement what we discussed. I highly recommend the school to everyone irrespective of the driving ability and experience, but would suggest to really think through the objectives, as this will really help to optimise your learning and get the most of your time with CAT. I look forward to being back soon!
A really fantastic day, one that was both very enjoyable and taught me a wide range of extremely valuable new skills. Steve provided excellent, detailed feedback and tailored learning points throughout the day, taking time to not only explain what areas I could improve in, but also to set out the theories and reasons that underpinned these points. As a result of the day, I both feel a significantly better, more capable driver, and take much more enjoyment from driving.
The whole team at CAT driver training were superb. A well designed training day, with one to one coaching in the car. I thoroughly recommend the experience.
The various challenged through out the day not only tested the car but also myself. Really felt I was more confident and, as a result, a faster and safer driver at the end of the day. Value for money through the Porsche Club GB.
Excellent day and really helped develop my drifting capabilities in a very safe and controlled environment, something you canβt do on a normal track day. Colin was fantastic company throughout and really brought the best out of me with his very easy and calm coaching style. Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to control a car when itβs beyond the limit- great fun and will definitely be back for another go!
The performance Driver "Track" day was a great experience and at the end of the day, I came away having learned a huge amount about driving and handling in various environments. The day was brilliantly organised, with the right amount of theory and practical sessions. The sessions were extremely well organised and Steve pushed you to perform better and beyond where you expected to be, all at your pace. Overall one of the best driving experiences.

Jun 05,2023After lock downs and a broken humerus, I had lost all confidence in my driving abilities so it was decided that a CAT course might be beneficial. Colin was understanding and supportive all through the day and quickly settled my nerves. I enjoyed the experience and am now far more confident behind the wheel.
