Ian Luff Motivation

[eugen_syd]

Hi everybody,

I went yesterday at Ian Luff Motivation fist driving course. It is called Drive to Survive. It was pretty good considering everything they spoke about there I never heard before. It is much more different than what your instructor thought you when you learn to drive.

There was a series of exercises which teach you how to stop your car in en emergency. Maybe this will save you from a major crash, save your precious SKYLINE or eventually your life (if you put any price on it) First course is $285.00 and if you book it on the web you get $10.00 off

After this I am going to the next, stage 2 which teach you to deal with car slipping. Would be good to do this in a controlled environment without the big BANG. Maybe when in such situation on the road you know what to do.

Stage 3, Performance driving will also give you a CAMS license. You can jump form stage one to stage 3 but stage one is a must!!!!

Here everybody the link http://www.ianluff.com.au/index.asp?pageid=1 , go check it out.

Cheers,

EUG.

i did stage 1 and 2 about a year and a half back, and they are well worth it! a lot of fun too.

stage 2 is the better one though. all about understeer and oversteer.

just a note, best not to wash your car before you go, it get covered in dirty water from all the sliding around in the skid pan

Yeah I did the Luff courses years ago, they are a great into to track and performance driving....

I wish more people would put aside a day to learn from the professionals instead of just hitting the track and wondering why they aren't going quickly enough....

If you are interested in more formal training, Peter Findlay's race courses are the best ones in NSW, he is very strict and formal about his training where Luff (and McGill) are a bit more friendly.

Ive heard very good things about the Ian Luff Courses, so i mite give them a try sometime.

Ive done 2 driving courses, the first one i did was with Sideways Action, i thought that it was very good, teaches u all about oversteer and understeer and car control on the Eastern Creek Skidpan, pity it wasnt in my skyline since i didnt have it at the time.

And the other one i did was the Peter Finlay Car Control Course, which i didnt like very much. I did this in my skyline close to when i first got it. Pretty much the whole day we did just simple manovours and And did a little wet braking, which was just a little water sprayed onto the road. At the time i was keep to see what it was like losing control of the skyline in a controlled environment, but they didnt allow it. I dont think i took as much experience or knowledge from that day that i should have.

Cheers,
