I had some mates in another car club do the Jim Murcott advanced driving course (not defensive driving course - that is a different one where they teach u to stop without skidding etc etc).

It was held at Sandown race course and they learnt racing stuff like heel and toeing (some of u guys already know it but anyway) and they analyse your driving style and tell you how to improve it and then time your lap once again to see if your new techniques have improved lap times. Looks fun, though some poor guy smashed his 200sx front bar into a barrier.

just my 2c

I was a senior instructor at murcotts from 1991-2002.

there is another driving school (which uses a racing car drivers name) that had an instructor crash an s15 at philip island, they told the poor guy that owns the car that they will NOT pay for the damage. Fair bit of damage too !!!

no you dont have to !!

often students will learn quicker by watching, but...instructor doesn't need to drive your car at 10/10, you can show the same thing at 7/10. as for crashing a students car, the so called instructor should be shot. Guys like that just give the industry a bad name.
