Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - New Z owner looking for recommended driver training

Hi Guys,

New to the forum and the 370 (2 days old now!) I have the Black 6sp.

I was wondering if anyone here can recommend driver training courses in Brisbane/Gold Coast. I am interested in doing some advanced driver training incorporating some skidpan and handling stuff.

I also want to send my better half along to ensure she is comfortable behind the wheel with the extra power.

I see there is a "defensive driving course" at Mt Cotton Has anyone done it? Was it any good? Do you know of any better ones?

I am little unsure about the defensive driving as I am not looking for a lesson in driving on the road, hazard avoidance, how to position yourself in the car, allthough maybe that is exactly what constitutes advanced driver training? - I am really not sure - I am really looking for something that improves driver skill and tests the limits of the car so any feedback or experiences you have with this sort of thing would be valuable.

I will do some track days and have been looking at Paul Stokell's track training as a second step so any feedback from anyone on that is much appreciated also!

thanks in advance for your input!
