The Driver Training is non competitive and open to anyone 12-years and over, with little or no experience - no licence is required.
Instructors are provided to teach inexperienced drivers or juniors how to drive both automatic and manual vehicles.
Part of the course is aimed at vehicle maintenance, such as checking tyre pressures, changing tyres, checking the oil and other fluid levels.
The training is a great opportunity to learn car control at lower speeds, but can be enjoyed in everything from a standard road car, through to purpose built specials.
The training courses are held on unsealed surfaces and are designed to get students familiar with car craft, giving them the basic skills needed to drive a vehicle and also the basics for maintaining their car.
Instruction will be in the form of lecture, followed by question and answer, before learners will be permitted to enter a vehicle.
Participants will be accompanied by an experienced instructor, as approved by the club chiefs.
