Thinking of booking a car control course to achieve this and would welcome any suggestions or advice from anyone who has already completed a course. Obviously keen to hear if it was a worthwhile experience

I would suggest you find a local organization that runs an Autocross program. You will learn valuable car control skills while learning about your car and possibly, even have fun.

What is Autocross?

I’ve been on a “car limits” day & also been to the prodrive track and skidpan, both recommended for improving car control

I'be done the car limits airfield day which was excellent, and I try to get time with people at track days when I can to learn from others.

CATS training I like the look of but very expensive.

For a bit of fun - and learning a little bit about car control, try this: https://www.paulswift.com/experiences/s ... periences/

It's huge fun and you will genuinely scare yourself doing things in a car you've only seen in the movies. The precision element is also great, with you completing a short auto-test in a Mustang or Focus RS.

I would highly recommend it - even if it's not a substitute for a more formal 1-1 lesson.

Paul is a the UK autotest champion, professional stunt driver - he ran the Top Gear Live shows for many years and historic rally champion. His Dad - Russ, is now semi-retired, but you may remember him from the Austin Montego adverts from the 80s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMTx0ZTOaIc

They are well worth it in my experience. The Prodrive Course was the excellent. One to one, two different skid pans. A fast circuit and a handling circuit. Long while back may be different these days. I would also recommend a rally skills day. Bill Gwynne, used to run one. Whatever you choose, have fun.

PS Just checked, Bill is no longer with us
PPS The rally school is still going strong.
