Yeah, the fella in the passenger seat is handy. Class

long time no speak, pleased to see you still in the drivers seat

Great fun, enjoyed that.

Nice laps, stage 2 or more?

Chris Hodgetts instructed me in an Exige at Silverstone years before I had one. This is exactly as I remember him 😂

Thank you! Amazing how much quicker you are everywhere apart from the straights, I need better tyres, or at least that's the best excuse I can come up with! 😂 That was a brilliant session 👏👏👏

Well driven!

🙂

Thanks for the great racing Kevin 👍

That's a scary bend, very fast to have a spin.

I think the instructors delivery would slow down improvements in the driver. I know that would get me flustered more than improve my driving. Could be much more effective if he changed his style in my opinion. I've never had an instructor grab the wheel either and would hate that.

Awful instructions!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I want him to instruct me!! Please! Just take my money and get him!!!

He's instructing exactly how I take the corkscrew, when everyones going way over to the left, glad I'm doing something right!

I've owned 2 focus rs's mk2 one kicking out 375 bhp plus numerous other fast cars stis etc now have a Yeti 2.0tdi it's no sports car but trust me properly driven it can move as the vxr was finding out tuned yeti are real sleepers trust me

Track day instructors are ace. I'm glad for this style of coaching, because we all think we are Senna, we all get giddy with excitement when we hit the track and the instructor has to cut through that and quickly! This style of tuition may not feel the most comfortable at first, but you have a better day because of it.

Nice vid - he likes your tyres :) CH cracks me up ! :-) I'd pay just to have him nag me to death - brilliant

Grumpy but good

Sports car against a shopping car that's not fair surely.

Gave him absolute hammer about his ditch finders 😂😂

I did a Vauxhall VXR day (when they still ran them) and you get to go in several different VXRs with lots of different instructors and it was surprising how different their approach was. Some just wanted to tell you how great they were, some just sat there and said very little, but a few were excellent and really good at getting the most out of you and the car. The one thing I hate more than anything is when someone grabs the steering wheel rather than providing instructions - I think it is a bit of an "old school" way of instructing.

What rear view mirror is that? I like it

I’d have done one lap, pulled in the pits and said “get out my car you patronising condescending twat!”

Are you running an lsd ?

Can you tell me where you bought that from and how much it was please

Co driver seems a right bellend

That's the best view I've seen of my collision with Gareth. It was an even more abitious move than I realised at the time!

That first corner was excellent Kevin :)

nice one mate

"For a first go on a cold day..." excuse book always at the ready! XD

It’s a 1.8tsi not a converted car

Some here seem a bit sensitive about the coaching. You can't argue the results though. How many laps did you do with the instructor and then before you put that lap together? You went from shit to well done. Great job. Does your Lotus have ABS? Though in that one combination where he had you brake with quite a bit of lock on, that seemed sketchy.

You certainly get your moneys worth with this guy

I'm not a fan of the 'Tell you off' style of teachingI teach HGV and I find if you win their confidence they'll learn better , tell them off and they'll make more mistakes.

Good coach

Typical race instructor , they have a tell you off style , what about a reinforce and commend style..

So, Chris is one of the best driver coaches you`d meet. What he is trying to get this guy to do is turn gently, apply the power gently whilst driving the optimal line. Way too many guys jump in and want to be the last on the brakes or a drifter.......but that is never quick. The reality for this guy is, he cannot downshift correctly which unsettles the chassis and affects the turn in and braking, plus as Chris accurately says his tyres are terrible (every time Chris tries to get a bit of extra turn on the car they understeer badly). The comment about short shifting is totally accurate (Chris's not Hypersoniks) - because the power is linear its producing power in line (hence er, linear) with the revs. So short shifting will maybe kill a little power versus revving its nuts off down the straight or between corners but also approaching or in corners will help settle the chassis as I suspect Chris is asking this guy to do. Anyone who doesn't understand short shifting on a track should not be commenting on it. For anyone who still wants to make stupid comments google BTCC champion..........twice a champion. Doubt anyone commenting here has any trophies at home.

I feel the need to comment but I have nothing positive to say... so I'll just go with "wow".

Really enjoyed that session; thanks for posting. Probably heading there end May'19

New surface is good then! Nice lap

You got shit tyres!! 😂

Very fast!

Doesn't really show how they compare since some of them are clearly taking it very easy. Poor show to the lotus drivers who didn't have the decency to let off or let you through.

A good driver doesn't necessarily make a good coach...

Well that's one driving coach I'll never use.

Out of curiosity what tyres did you have on??

"Turn" So he turns..."You turned too early"...this guy is full of shit.

A very enjoyable race! What a move round the last corner!

Some of his he's telling you to do are shocking!
