What was it before? I assume he's not solo with 25 clients?

Usually 12....but it's only 1-2 out at a time on the course (for obvious safety reasons) so there is quite a bit of downtime even then.

There's 2 of them running the day.

I reckon 8 would be perfect. Andy would happily do that, you just have to pay 50% more.

Would be great to do an ov9 day, but alas we'd never get 8 people.

It's because 50% of the forum have moved north of the wall!

I think we'd get 8 though. Andy has a few 2/4 person says he'd probably change if he got 8 people @125 each? Maybe sometime in September?

Ive been looking at this for a while, it's £70 for 25 car day which is probably not a good idea, was looking at £250 for 4 or £474 for 2.

Id be interested in the 8 people day, assuming no one would post on here about my lack of skill or fashion sense.

The 12 car day is £125 each, but the 4 car day is £250, so I'm assuming the extra £500 is for his +1. Dunno whether he feels he needs two people for 8 or not.

Looks like he pulls in £1750 for a 25 car, £1500 for a 12, and £1000 for a 4 car.

His 2/4 car days are 1:1 tuition, so he sits in the car with you doing the tasks and advising as you go. The activite days he only goes with you when requested, otherwise you're out on your own after he advises from the sidelines. Depends what you're looking for from the day.

Yeah I suspect that's the case, Andy (aka Panda) will need paying too! Whether 8 or 12, I assume he'd be happy as long as he gets his £1500.

Yeah, I've done the 4 car day before (with Flewy/YK) years ago. There was another proper instructor there that day with Andy, mind you I don't know if that was the norm because Andy was injured from a crash at the time and wasn't jumping in cars too much.

Assuming we can't get 8 people interested from here, there's no reason why you can't jump on a SELOC organised one. They're just happy to fill them and anyone can book on to them from the AW website, there's usually all sorts of non-Lotus cars there either from ex-SELOC or just friends of SELOC, or even just the odd random booking.

Side note, the high performance courseI was recommended recently, seems like part of their course involves Andy at this location.

I'm booked on the 18th March 12 car day. I guess I better get my coolant leak sorted by then!

i can’t see any 12 car days on their website at all (booked up or free) - is it the link in your first post?

I assumed you can find it on the website, but also assume you're on SELOC?

You're right, can't see it listed on events. Link here: https://www.awdrivertraining.co.uk/even ... 18-03-2025

booked!

Nice! Will be interesting to compare cars.

Yeah, i think that’ll be a slightly one sided comparison!

Do you need a helmet?

Nah.

Great, i’m bringing my brother too - looking forward to it!

Nice. There's no rules about who drives or anything, so if you're not having too much fun (and trust him enough!) you can swap seats with him / let him have a go etc.

Or even let some fellow forum members have a go I only booked in last time to drive Duncs' car!

As per earlier in the thread, I swapped keys with another SELOC member - he did a few laps in the QV, I did a few in his Evora. Nothing to hit so risk is incredibly low.
