I spent a day with Steve doing the advanced control course and came away feeling a lot more confident in my car control as well as my general road use.
I could not recommend enough, the entire experience felt extremely safe and intuitive.

An educational and exciting day! A must have for all drivers, old or new. Something to learn for everyone. I would send everyone I know on this course if i could!

What a fantastic day at CAT Driver Training. Learnt so much! I would recommend ANYONE to do this course, you'll be surprised what you don't know! Extremely friendly staff who we're extremely knowledgeable and very sun!

6 out of 5. Helen was super knowledgeable and has changed my perspective on driving, and how vehicles feel in different situations. Amazing and fun day with all the staff from CAT, thank you so so much! Would recommend this for all drivers, regardless of driving experience.

What a fantastic team! The course provided me with so much more confidence and knowledge and Colin our instructor tailored his approach to our learning styles. I cannot recommend this course enough!

Had a great day at Millbrook with Steve from the CAT Team, not only thoroughly enjoyable but also highly educational gaining really practical insights in road and vehicle dynamics. I’m using his tips to improve my daily driving. Highly recommended! I will be looking to go back for more training.

Steve was an amazing instructor, was able to put me at ease immediately and was infinitely patient at the same time. His detailed explanations of the theory behind the practice were really informative, and made the whole day much more enjoyable. The location at millbrook is brilliant, a really interesting place to see and drive. I will definitely be back for the next courses in the series!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Millbrook with Steve at CAT Driver Training. I could not have asked for a better instructor. Hugely knowledgeable about car handling dynamics, excellent at communicating in a way that made sense and could be learnt and applied whilst driving, and an all round lovely guy. The testing facility itself is brilliant and allows you to test what you are learning in a safe, controlled environment. It's also just a fascinating place to be, seeing new test car prototypes driving around. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their driving skills.

Fantastic experience to understand just what me and my car are capable of. My instructor was very clear in the tuition given and explaining the theory.
Millbrook is a great location to try new things in a safe and controlled environment where techniques can be tried many times to get better and help understanding.

What a fabulous day. Booked through Porsche Club GB, and the whole process was a doddle. Jo and Lynne are friendly, helpful and extremely efficient. All paperwork, payment and joining instructions were clear, timely and the secure process is very slick.

On the day, getting onto site is easy. And what a site!! Interesting stuff everywhere, a lovely place and all the facilities you could wish for to mess around in cars. It was all great, but the highlight for me were the Alpine Loops (which you have to do each time you transit back to CAT’s base, not really a hardship!).

Which brings us onto Colin. A fabulous instructor, his depth of experience is amazing but what really sold it to me was his talent with a varied audience. He had 3 of us - ranging from me, a beginner in my 21 yr old modern classic to an experienced competitor with a specialist sports car worth 10 times as much. His ability to clue into each of our needs, skills and learning styles was impressive. To watch him seamlessly switch back and forth between all 3 of us during the day was REALLY impressive. And just a lovely bloke/good company to boot - I’ll say the same for Jo and Lynne back at the office. What a nice bunch of people. Having spent a day with them, you’ll come back better at driving, with a better understanding of the vehicle you own and how to exploit it, and you’ll have had a lot of fun with a great bunch. I left in very high spirits, with a smile on my face. Highly recommended, thank you all!

Colin was a great instructor - calm, clear and providing the theory behind it which helped me absorb the information and provided greater confidence. The facilities are excellent which allow for a great range of learning

If you want to improve your skills and understanding of how to get the best from yourself and your car, look no further. The booking process is very efficiently run by the girls at CAT Driver Training as is the whole process for that matter.
Our instructor for the day was Colin who provided top notch coaching and understanding from the start.
A nice lunch was provided and everything was carried out in a structured way and easy to understand but most of all it was enjoyable and I left the day feeling more confident and connected to the car. I hadn't realised what we were capable of !
A fantastic group of people to deal with and a day I will never forget!
Keep up the good work guys, its game changing!
Best Regards. Steve.

The UTAC Millbrook proving ground is a truly extraordinary place—a constant buzz of world-class machinery being pushed to the limit. So to spend a full one-to-one day there on the Road Advanced Performance course, surrounded by serious kit and under the expert eye of the absolute legend that is Colin, was nothing short of unforgettable.

The day was brilliantly structured and tailored to me. Colin quickly assessed my skill level and then built on it with a smooth, progressive programme that developed my abilities step by step. His tuition was spot on—clear, insightful, and always with the “why” as well as the “how.” That deeper understanding unlocked mind-blowing techniques I’d never imagined using, like toe-curling to manage understeer!

By the time we hit the handling circuit and alpine loops, everything I’d learned seemed to click into place. The skills I’ve gained will change how I drive—whether it’s everyday motoring, a spirited Sunday blast, or the next track day.

Colin an excellent instructor and thoroughly enjoyable man to spend the day with talking all things driving and car related. Highly recommended.

I recently attended a Performance Driving Day (Porsche) with CAT Driver Training at UTAC, Millbrook in Bedfordshire.

It was an absolutely exhilarating and informative experience! From start to finish, the day was packed with invaluable learning opportunities and more of an understanding regarding the engineering of the 911 (which in turn helps us keep safe whether on track or road). The instructors Steve and Colin are top-notch—knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about driving. They broke down complex techniques like cornering, braking, and throttle control in a way that was easy to grasp, no matter your skill level.

The one-on-one feedback was invaluable, helping me understand the limits of my car. The different tracks were fantastic, offering a perfect mix of challenging turns and straights to push the cars (and Ourselves!). Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just looking to sharpen your skills, there is something for everyone. The organisation was seamless, with a great balance of track time, classroom sessions, and breaks. The staff, not forgetting Jo and Lynne made safety a priority while keeping the day fun and engaging.

CAT Driver Training is a must for all level of drivers. I’m already thinking about my next session! Five stars!

A fantastic experience to not only drive at Millbrook proving ground but also be taught by the best and learn some great new driving techniques. Steve and Colin are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about getting the best out of you, and really take time to explain the mechanics of what is happening. They also allow you to try things at your own pace, only encouraging you to get more from your car without pushing you to do so.
I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone, irrespective of how much experience you have, as I'm sure that you'll benefit greatly, as I have.
Thanks also to Lynne and her team for arranging everything and making it all run so smoothly on the day.

Great day of driving and tuition with Colin on the CAT performance driver group day.
Listened to what I wanted to focus on and really tailored the driving experience to me . The course made me more confident on the track and road. Left me capable balancing the car on the limit and improving my sight ahead to the vanishing point and anticipation.

Thoroughly recommend

So, I’ve been driving 30 years and a few years ago I bought a performance car but realised I am never driving it to potential or really understanding what it can/can’t do….. time to introduce Colin at CAT Driver training. Set in Millbrook proving ground and using all the facilities expected of a top class testing venue -the training focusses on you and what “you” want to get out of the day (or ‘me’ in this case). The techniques I learnt way surpassed my expectations eg advanced braking and high speed driving techniques. Within a few hours I was competently and confidently driving at speeds of 130mph and able to brake in all manner of different ways…. Not sure how
Colin does this but patience and his passion for what he does show through! (Probably helped by his extremely thorough (engineer by trade) knowledge of the car)….. I left with skills that I can continue to use and embed! Thanks for a great day.

Brilliant tuition from the best in the business. Had a fantastic day learning new driving concepts in the best environment possible. This is my second experience with CATDT and can’t wait to return to do more. If you love driving and the technical aspects of driving dynamics then this is the place to learn what driving is all about.

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our day in the safe hands of expert instructor, Colin. We were carefully guided through each stage of the training to ensure that we gained best value. Safety was of course paramount, and at no point did we feel exposed to any level of risk to ourselves or the vehicle. We can't wait to come back next year for the next level!
