A fantastic day, learnt so many important aspects of fast road and track driving, Steve was awesome from start to finish and we came away feeling more confident, better drivers bit also wanting more ... highly recommend CAT driver training, it was tailored to our needs and reflected the specific driving characteristics of our cars, great venue as well.

A brilliant day very professionally run and most useful.

A warm welcome from Lynne and Jo! Continued excellent tuition from Colin Hoad who has the rare ability to be able to put a driver in touch with their car and set-up the essential two-way conversation between man and machine. There is no better place to do this than Millbrook and certainly no better people in my 30 years of experience in performance driving. If you or your staff drive performance cars, you need to visit CAT Driver training and you will be safer, faster and happier for it!

Awesome day of training. The day was structured around my abilities and ambitions, and I came away with increased confidence in my vehicle and skills. Colin is a great instructor, both knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

My 3rd Cat day
I enjoyed every day. Friendly helpfull people, knowledgeable instructors help you to understands your own car and make it very enjoyable while feeling safe and learning.Highly recommended

Excellent coaching. If you want to drive better & understand how to do it, these are the go-to folks. UTAC Millbrook is a unique venue & experience.

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.
