Millbrook Pro Driving Course: 7hr with 3.0hrs at Millbrook – £1,150.00, which includes a £200 transferable discount on any future full-day on-road courses with us.
Introduction:
Millbrook Pro is an exclusive, specialist course tailored for owners of high-performance vehicles who want to become safer, more skilful, and more confident behind the wheel. Delivered on a one-to-one basis, this bespoke training experience is designed entirely around you, your car, and your personal driving goals.
This isn’t just another driving course. It’s a rare opportunity to understand how your vehicle behaves at, near, and beyond its limits, insight most drivers never gain. Learning how your car responds in emergency situations, and more importantly, how to regain control, significantly enhances your ability to handle the unexpected.
Every Millbrook Pro course is a unique, one-off experience, delivered at the prestigious Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire, one of the world’s leading automotive test facilities. You’ll have access to a variety of specialised test environments, allowing you to safely explore the dynamics of your car under expert supervision.
While the on-track training focuses on reactive skills (how to manage emergencies), we complement this with proactive on-road coaching. This helps you anticipate and avoid risk, further strengthening your control, judgement, and decision-making.
Mastering both reactive and proactive techniques gives you the confidence and competence to truly enjoy your high-performance car, safely.
Course Content Based Around You:
Our Millbrook Pro course runs for approximately seven hours from start to finish. Throughout the day, you’ll receive a combination of on-road advanced driver coaching and specialist training that can only be delivered at a purpose-built test facility.
What makes Millbrook Pro truly unique is the level of customisation we offer. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all programme, every course is tailored specifically to you. Whether you’re looking to master high-speed control, emergency handling, or refine your overall driving technique, we will shape the course around your goals, your vehicle, and your experience.
- You can have 4hr on-road training and then 3hr at Millbrook, or maybe you would like to do 2hr on-road, then 3hr at Millbrook, then 2hr on-road. Due to the nature of the training, it does make more sense to start any training with an on-road element.
- When at Millbrook, you may wish to work on perfecting high-speed braking or maybe experience your car at 100mph + on the high-speed bowl. Or perhaps you want to work on developing your car control on rural roads – the Alpine Circuit is perfect for this. Should you wish to experience skid control, we can spend time on the dynamic pad, we can even arrange a water cannon to wet the surface if you’re thinking more about limit control in the wet. Your exact content will be discussed beforehand with your tutor and us.
