Motorsport Instruction
Alternatively we'd be happy to utilise your existing car and show
you just what can be achieved from your current car.
Both Tim and Andrew were instructors and judges on the Channel
4 'Formula Woman' series which pitted novice women racing drivers against each other in a knock out style contest with the
winners receiving a years racing. The competition was held at the Dunsfold circuit near Guildford in Surrey, better known
for hosting Top Gear. Trackday Tuition at Goodwood, Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Mallory, Oulton Park
During your instruction we work with you to develop
your confidence in the car, and also a technical understanding of the way in which you and the car interact. We believe
that an understanding of this link is invaluable in achieving the ultimate performance when driving on track.
Techniques include:
Heal and Toe - which crucially
balances engine speed and road speed when changing down the gearbox
Trail braking - the art of using
the brakes to retain balance in the car right up to the apex of a corner
Left foot braking - a variation
of above, and also applicable to paddle shift cars
Steering input - it seems so obvious
but to get it right is an art, and you'd be amazed at the improvements that can be found in something that seems so fundamental
Racing lines - lines can differ
on the same track for different cars, and certainly in adverse weather conditions
Gear changes - to develop a positive
use of the gearbox, allowing it to do some of the work for you. Gear changes can also be asking a lot of the car mechanically
and sometimes its important to understand what you're asking it to do - especially driving a historic or classic race car
Weight transfer - an average racing
saloon car weighs in excess of 1000kgs, and you can make your life as a driver twice as difficult if you don't understand
the implications of your driving inputs on the effective weight within the car.
Tyre wear and preservation - tyres
are your only contact with the track and can be the difference between winning and loosing
Understeer & Oversteer - understanding
the cars feedback to you can be vital in understanding car set up and analysing your driving, we also show you how
to control it, and how to promote it.
Chassis set up - fine tuning the
set up of your car to suit your driving style, the ultimate bespoke package
Driver feedback - the difference
between a good driver and a great driver can be how they work with their team to develop a car, and do that a driver needs
to understand both the physics of the car, and the best way to communicate that to those around them.

Junior Drivers:
Having competed in Karting and progressed through the
ranks of junior motorsport both Tim and Andrew have great experience in working with junior drivers, whether embarking on
making the transition from Karting to Cars, or taking that first step in to Car racing. Tim contested the first ever season
of the junior T-Cars series in 1999 and we believe that makes our tuition of young drivers second to none - we can talk
to you on a par about it, because we've actually been there and done it. Its an incredibly important time for a junior
driver with a mountain of information to take on board and the right guidance and instruction can make a huge difference.
Advent Motorsport have a T-Car that we can make available for Track Day hire.
We are also able to offer ARDS instruction for those looking to
progress from trackdays to competitive motorsport.
