Group Training Pathway

Each day is an action-packed day run by CAT Driver Training Ltd at UTAC Millbrook delivering a fast-moving experience for groups of three with their cars, working with one instructor on a shared basis. Designed to be informative, exciting and fun, the group size is purposefully kept small so that the maximum can be obtained from the day in a highly personalised environment.

You will drive five of the unique circuits at the renowned UTAC facility - a venue not normally accessible to the general public.

Your learning is progressive and developmental. Skills are built prescriptively over a series of exciting and challenging exercises, using these 5 key circuits:

Mile Straight | High Speed Circuit | Alpine Loops | Dynamics Pad | Handling Circuit

You will never be asked to drive outside of your comfort zone. An instructor is with you in car throughout your driving time, which is approximately 100 minutes across the day, as you take your turn on the circuits. You have the opportunity to unwind and chat with like minded clients, as social and rest time is built in.

Hot and cold drinks are provided throughout, plus an M&S sandwich lunch together at CAT HQ.

Cost £840.00 per person

Note on noise limits… to quote me "there is no limit unless you are a Le Mans Prototype or an F1 car". If anyone thinks they can compete at that level on noise, be sure to mention it when booking!
