Advanced driving course
 

The thread started by light got me thinking...

How about we group together and propose to Toyota SA that all 86 owners get a day of skid pan and track experience :drool:

* It would be a great way to promote the brand
* Safer/skilled 86 drivers would reduce the chances of fatal accidents - Toyota wouldn't want the 86 to be known as a "widow maker"

Good idea! I was at their driving academy the other day and one of teh guys from Toyota seemed keen on the idea/

I'm up for that :thumbup:

I think it would be a great idea - my one skidpan outing revealed how unforgiving these cars can be, and that there is so much more to be learn't...

:thumbsup:

I'm also keen on this.

sounds like a great idea. waiting for the skidpan event next weekend but im dead certain, i need alot of help learning about her.

Theres a few places that offer it but most dont offer "in your car training", either that or i've been reading wrong.

Im keen on joining in on a course, heres hoping.

I'll be interested

Sounds good, I'm in.

That's the idea mate but the difference here is a sponsored TSA event for 86ers.

Next step is to contact some TSA employee to help make this happen. Preferably someone on the same wavelength as Tada San. :D

If you have that kind of contacts mate, I'd be there like a bear

Get a hold of Leo Kok. I've spoken to him via Twitter and he seems to be a bit a of a petrolhead. I think he is in the events department.

Toyota Rivinia gave me an advanced driving coarse when i bought the car,so much fun,expecially on the advanched handling track.

Too late for me. Will have to run my new one in before I do this.

This is a great idea!
Please try to organize it, I'll definitely be in!

This is SA. By the time this happens you would have had your first service already. If it even does happen.

I'd like to join, if you'll admit a BRZ twin!

@GavinAnt lives!!!How's the BRZ?

Jason Hine from Barloworld Tygervalley says that he's registered but can't post yet so I'm posting on his behalf.

He says that he would like to help us organise this and wants ideas/suggestions from us on what we would like. He also needs an idea of number of owners that would be supporting this event.
