session is at 9am and the second at 1pm. Each session lasts around 3 hours.

get behind the wheel and become familiar with the control and performance of a vehicle.

A quote from the mother of this young driver:
"Thank you so much for today, I am so glad my youngster got a place.
He's not always the most confident or outspoken lad, but he came back beaming and
so proud of driving the sponsor round the track on his own (just need to add,
the instructor was in the car as well) A real boost to his confidence and self
esteem as well as a terrific start to his driver training."
