| This is an update on this oldish thread. The three of us have just returned from this course. And, it was as bad as I thought, I am afraid to say.
I learnt absolutely nothing new. And I mean nothing. Instead got to see all the flags again up close as you do at any decent trackday briefing. Also got to listen to a bunch of anecdotes from an ex-GP 125/250 racer who presented the course.
It started off on an ominous note, when this bloke said: "I don't actually work for the ACU, so if you have grievances, please don't take it out on me".
I spoke to several people who were just irritated, having to take the day of, drive to Derby, pay 50 quid, and all so that the insurance companies are happy.
Now, I am not entirely against the idea of a novice training course, but then make it worth 50 quid! This certainly wasn't! |
