Hi everyone,

Does anybody know if Mini is likely to be offering more sessions of their driver training? I missed the June session due to other commitments but am interested in doing a Level 1 course. Bathurst would be great but I don't think they would close the road to let us tear around it. If anybody gets wind of further events please post.

I got this message from Geoff at clubMINI last week - yes, it's in Melbourne

I'm informed there is a Mini Driver Level 1 Advanced Training course being held at Phillip Island on the morning of August 10th. There are about 13 places left if you are interested. Cost is $440. Ring 1800 000 269 to secure your place or go to www.mini.com.au for more information.

Good Luck
Chris

Would love to, but I was hoping for one with a little more notice (some people are impossible to please!). Unfortunately, I need to organise time off work well in advance. Any others in the offing? The Mini web-site seems to be very out of date, as it is still advertising events back in May and June only. Thanks for the quick reply though.

I was supposed to do my annual advanced driver training at MT Cotton with Sideline Motorsports, but my company has been told that the insurance premium is $40,000 for the day

and, seeing as Sideline is a non-profit making organisation, my company would have to fund that $40k... so no driver training for me this year

Steve, I think they hold them at Eastern Creek once or twice a year but you might have missed this years ones. Best thing to do is call the 1800 number that's listed on the driver training web page - they're really helpful

I did the Level 1 course in June at Eastern Creek and it was a lot of fun. The best bit was getting to drive a JCW MCS and a standard MCS back to back on the track

Forget about it if you want to get into the August 10 one, they're driver training person finally bothered to get back to me just now to tell me it's booked out.

Lovin' this "MINI experience"...

Oh well, $440 saved I guess.

Save the money for the next time, well worth the cost, trust me. Do it no matter how long it takes to get onto the course.
