CAT Driver Training Ltd. Reviews 

Excellent course tailored to my requirements and experience level. Colin provides a great balance between driving instruction and an explanation of the physics and engineering affecting the performance of the car.

Yet another brilliant driver training day, but this time more specifically designed around Hillclimb & Sprint. Colin was yet again very instructive in both classroom explanation of car handling characteristics and the practical driving instruction.
Yet another day leaving the CAT Driver Training facility with a big grin! Bring on the next one

I completed Track L1 and L2 in my 911 with Steve as coach. It was, quite simply, one of the best experiences of my life. By the end of the second day, I could barely believe it was me driving the car!! Steve was expert, patient, and encouraging - focussing both on technique and (as importantly) on mindset. He’s such a reassuring presence and, even tho we were exploring my limits (and the car’s), I never once felt unsafe or stressed. It was a challenging two days - but in the most rewarding and exhilarating of ways. You will feel tired by the end!

Yes, this is a costly investment, but when you see the quality of the facilities and the depth of knowledge available through the coaches (developed over years of training), you’ll understand why you truly get what you pay for. Cannot recommend highly enough - and hope to come back for more. THANK YOU, STEVE!!!

BTW, top tip - absolutely let the coach drive your car to give you demos. I found this so helpful, and they will treat it with as much respect and care as if they owned it.

From the get go the team were helpful and friendly and helped me navigate to various options available. Steve,my instructor, was welcoming and gave me a through brief of the day. Gave me insights in to aspects that I thought I already knew, but added to my knowledge base. The training met the needs and more that I set out at the beginning of the day. His encouraging manner and guidance were invaluable and helped me to get a real understanding of my vehicles capabilities. When my lad is old enough I will be arranging a visit for him. Simply brilliant.

What an amazing day! Really tailored to what I wanted to learn and experience. The CAT team were able to translate technical to practical and enable me to feel the changes in the car in different situations. Ready for the next level

I returned to CAT driver training to complete days 3 and 4 of their track academy. Colin customised the two days of training based on our goals for the two days. We spent 2 packed days on milbrook’s dynamics pad learning how to control a car at and beyond the limits of grip. The instructor has a brilliant way of explaining how the car reacts to inputs and is able to make complex concepts easy to understand. Brilliant experience. Thanks Colin and Lynne.

excellent - breaks the complex into simple, then lots and lots of practice putting it to place

Colin's ability to articulate car dynamics and put this in to practice behind the wheel is excellent. He provides a platform of learning during the day, via classroom style discussion and practical examples, that would enhance even the most experienced driver's skill set. The facilities at Millbrook are also first class... Well done CAT!

Fantastic full day of track driver training at Milbrook with Steve. Steve's tuition was excellent allowing me to understand both what's happening with the car and why. His engineering knowledge of the car and putting it into simple terms that allowed me then to convert that into improving my driving was 2nd to none. Although there is a set agenda, Steve adopted it to focus on what I needed to in order to improve and get the most out of it. I will definitely be coming back for level 2.

I’ve just done my second limit handling course with Colin at CAT Driver Training, having done one about 12 years ago in a very different type of performance car.
Colin’s very technical approach suits me perfectly and being able to use the world class facilities at Millbrook proving ground is priceless.
Doing a 2:1 course with a friend who owns the same model of supercar was invaluable and Colin seamlessly adapted his coaching to suit our different levels of experience.
I personally believe that courses of this type should be compulsory for any high performance or supercar owner.

This course was excellent and did not disappoint. I booked the course to be able to find the handling limits of my car in a safe environment and to learn some new driving and handling techniques.

The instructors are calm, friendly and hugely knowledgeable whilst Millbrook is a great venue with a variety of test tracks and areas to learn on. I would thoroughly recommend this course. You may think you're a great driver but you'll almost certainly learn something new and useful on this course.

The only downside was that I discovered my car's ABS was not working (cue likely big garage bill), but better to find out here than when I actually need it.

Great day, wanted to find out what my car and I could do, now I know.

Colin is an amazing coach on and off the track! Really helped me to get match-fit for the Mclaren Silverstone track day by working with me to get the best out of the car, and me, with a tailored program. Highly recommended!

Unequalled venue and unequalled training team. Fantastic driver training, tailored to your needs and covering all experience and skill levels, across road, track day and race driving.

Steve was one of the friendliest, knowledgeable and accommodating instructors I have ever met in any field. I learned about driving dynamics in a clear, concise, and well-packaged manner, which made it easy for a novice like me to take my initial steps towards track racing. I would love to attend again.

A fantastic day, learnt so many important aspects of fast road and track driving, Steve was awesome from start to finish and we came away feeling more confident, better drivers bit also wanting more ... highly recommend CAT driver training, it was tailored to our needs and reflected the specific driving characteristics of our cars, great venue as well.

A brilliant day very professionally run and most useful.

A warm welcome from Lynne and Jo! Continued excellent tuition from Colin Hoad who has the rare ability to be able to put a driver in touch with their car and set-up the essential two-way conversation between man and machine. There is no better place to do this than Millbrook and certainly no better people in my 30 years of experience in performance driving. If you or your staff drive performance cars, you need to visit CAT Driver training and you will be safer, faster and happier for it!

Awesome day of training. The day was structured around my abilities and ambitions, and I came away with increased confidence in my vehicle and skills. Colin is a great instructor, both knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

My 3rd Cat day
I enjoyed every day. Friendly helpfull people, knowledgeable instructors help you to understands your own car and make it very enjoyable while feeling safe and learning.Highly recommended
