We had a school about a month ago, as well, but we do two different levels. In the morning we have an advanced course and then in the afternoon we have beginners. I taught both sessions and had three very different students.

My student in the morning was a great guy named Graham, in his Lotus 7 clone. He built it from a kit his friend manufactures and sells out of New Zealand. The car is powered by a Toyota 20v, which is a great deal of fun.

In the afternoon I had two students, one in a Mazdaspeed 3 and the other in a Protege.

All three of my students were very different and needed different advice. I think all of them improved, but it was difficult to tell in the morning - the timer displays weren't working, so we had no way to measure improvement.

Graham asked if I would drive his 7 but, being even remotely Lotus, it broke before I got the chance.
