I’ve had instruction from this fella. I tried to ask him a question about the correct line - his response “DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A CHAT OR DO YOU WANT TO DRIVE”. By the end of the session, we were both peeing ourselves with laughter and I was doing some super quick laps. The wheel touching would annoy but every time he did it he changed the trajectory - eventually the driver got the right line and was MUCH faster.

Could not handle someone touching the steering wheel while I'm trying to drive. Is he gonna put his leg over and dab the brakes too?

If the guy in the driving seat had known when to turn it himself then he could have.

How funny I've been watching the Van videos and I'm doing Brands tomorrow and this came up as track guide, very good as all I have to remember is Tree- straight-shingle 😂

Thanks for posting - though this is a lesson on how NOT to instruct.

Nonsense, stop being precious and realise that he knows 100 x more than you and is trying to give you insight. I'd grab him as an instructor any day. The guy in the video was fighting him all the way, he even admitted "I'm fighting my instincts to turn in". Duh. You dont need your instincts you just need to LISTEN, it's not hard.

Had Wil as my examiner for my ARD's test yesterday, great guy, seems a bit abrasive at first but bloody hell, he knows his stuff. Was amongst a very busy track day at brands so lots of traffic but showed me some great lines, encouraged me to "get a move on' and only touched the steering wheel once! 'Tree' is still ringing in my ears, Brands will never be the same.

Brands Hatch is the circuit more than any other where you NEED instruction!

If the driver wasn't so slow to listen and learn, the inputs would be different. He really was a veerrrrrrry slow learner.

@@rhobbis He was ignoring the instructor. Pretty much every turn of every lap he was telling him to go straight and he'd start turning in way too early, and then he'd tell him to straighten up and use the track and he'd still have a bunch of lock on.
