Such a memorable 3 days with Ivan
Such a memorable 3 days with Ivan. His knowledge, professionalism and patience made for an unforgetable experience. I never thought i could drive like i did, but with Ivans instruction i did. It's quite fascinating how you can feel in control and safe with calmness going round bends at twice the speed from the start of the course. Ivan gives you the knowledge and understanding that really makes you feel you are in harmony with your car and the road/track.
I can't recommend him enough. Great value for money also. I'll definitely be booking him again in the future.
A must for all drivers.
Both my wife and I had 3 days each with Ivan at Millbrook. 2 days experiencing the various tracks, the straight, the skid pan and the bowl. My aim was to wanting to experience what my car was capable of and finding its (and my) limits. I've never been a fast driver as such but have always enjoyed the acceleration cornering and indeed the braking. Ivan taught me pleasure you can get from driving swiftly and safely. The final day was spent on the public roads where everything learned at Millbrook was put into practice. Car balance, road positioning and better all round awareness. We cant praise Ivan enough and I will certainly look forward to my follow up course.
The course was intense mentally and physically. I slept so well after!!
Top Quality.
I can thoroughly recommend Total Car Control. I recently bought an M3 Touring and my objective was learn how to get the best out of this car. I wanted to learn the difference between the various drives modes and, in order to do that, I needed to understand how to utilise the performance capabilities of the car. Ivan has obviously put a tremendous amount of work into the preparation of the exercises, all of which can be customised / fine tuned according to your own objectives. In addition to learning more about my new car I wanted to “unlearn” some of the habits that I had acquired over half of century of driving and become a better and safer driver. Ivan was very patient and explained things extremely well. He clearly takes great pride in his courses and is also superb company. As an aside, it’s well worth getting Ivan to take the wheel occasionally to demonstrate the right way to do things; that was very exciting!
In conclusion, considering the how much I learnt and how much safer (and, yes, faster) I am now, I think that the course represents extremely good value. I hope to return to learn even more in the future.
Amazing and eye-opening experience
Ivan is a total legend and completely changed my view on what it means to safely and swiftly drive a car. The time at Millbrook was eye-opening and has given me skills and knowledge for life. As others have said - this is one of the best investments you can make into a driver's car.
Excellent coaching & well worth it
Ivan is a super experienced coach and trainer. He knows a lot about how to drive both on road and track and the skills that I have learned will make me a far better driver. He blends the right amount tension and friendliness into a bespoke/tailored 2/3days. I can still hear Ivan speaking to me when I am driving!
Just completed a 2 day course with Ivan…
Just completed a 2 day course with Ivan and really enjoyed it and learned so much more than I expected. Having a performance car I wanted to ensure I was getting the best out of it and also I was safe as I drive at higher speeds. We all think we are great at the wheel but you are never to old to learn.
Putting skills into practice at Millbrook and learning how the car handles in a safe environment really helps build confidence before we had a full day on the Cambridgeshire B roads. Ivan challenged my thinking and pointed out some areas for improvement and things I can develop.
Now to trick will be to put what Ivan has taught me into practice over the summer months. I would 100% recommend and can see me booking more time to Ivan to keep improving and building on the skills I've learnt further.
A fantastic investment in high performance driving !
I approached Total Car Control primarily to gain more confidence driving at the limit in a track environment. After a phone conversation with Ivan one evening, I decided on-road tuition would be worth adding as well so booked two days at Millbrook and a day on the road.
After decades driving and a keen motorcyclist with an IAM Advanced Rider qualification I expected to pick up some feedback and get to improve my technique in a safe environment but I never expected to have my fundamental approaches to driving to be revised so thoroughly.
The two days at Millbrook were great for both improving technique (you think you're smooth, Ivan will make you smoother!) but also for really understanding how great modern performance cars and tyres really are. The road surface was largely damp to wet and by the end of the two days I was driving smoother and swifter while also being safe, with reasonable margin for error than I'd ever have thought possible. I came away ready for day 3 on the road and intrigued as to what we'd be covering.
The third day in fact quickly became the highlight for me which was not something I was expecting. Having Ivan in the car critiquing (always fairly) and narrating the road was a real privilege and it broke so many assumptions of my level of driving. By the end of the day I really could feel all the lessons coming together, technique, vision, smoothness and an increased respect for the road and other vehicles. I learned as much about driving at 20-30mph in built-up areas as I did about car control at higher speeds.
I can guarantee if you've not done something similar before and go through a few days with Ivan, your driving performance will be at a completely different level by the end and I'd add you'll gain some new appreciation and joy for driving at all speeds.
I couldn't recommend training with Ivan at Total Car Control any higher and fully plan to return in the future to ensure constant investment in my driving performance.
Driving with Ivan is challenging
Driving with Ivan is challenging - in a good way. I thought I was a smooth driver.......oh dear!! After two days at Millbrook I have come away with a new 'toolkit' of techniques that will take time and practise to commit to muscle/brain memory, but my driving has already much improved. My new understanding of the car's capabilities makes driving much more enjoyable - and confident.
Wish I'd done it sooner!
I completed a two-day course with Ivan, one at Millbrook and another on the road. An outstanding experience, with every minute feeling genuinely tailored to me, my experience and skill level. I came away with new confidence, practical insights and plenty to reflect on. Also, a top bloke with the right balance of strict, friendly and "approachable". Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks to Ivan for a great 2 days
Thanks to Ivan for a great 2 days and improving my driving skills in the Supra. The day at Millbrook was challenging but the following day out on the roads I throughly enjoined putting me new skills to work.
Improve your driving skills
I can only confirm and reinforce the many positive reviews about Ivan’s fantastic tuition and ability to install the much improved confidence and my ability to drive. With a busy calendar first two days at Milbrook and an extra day on the open road, l learned so much about both the car and my abilities. This was seconded by my wife saying how much smoother and happier it made her feel as a passenger. I would like to thank you for teaching an old dog many new tricks.
Top marks Ivan 11/10 !!
The whole experience was fantastic.
Being driving for over 40 years with no further tuition (apart from speed awareness courses) this course was well overdue.
I’ve never been a boy racer but have been fortunate to have some lovely powerful cars, the time was overdue to bring my skills up to date and Ivan’s expert tuition was just what I needed.
The two days at Millbrook demonstrated just how good modern cars are and the driving aids they are equipped with was proven on those days as I was able to push the car and myself to limits simply not affordable on the UK’s roads.
The methods and tasks introduced by Ivan built up progressively and culminated to a great third day on some excellent B roads where everything could be put into practical use.
In short it opened my eyes (literally) to a much better way to drive not just quicker but much much more safer.
Thanks a totally unforgettable experience.
I had a full days course with Ivan
I had a full days course with Ivan at Millbrook
The reason I did the course was to improve my driving and learn a little more about my cars abilities as I was doing a 2,000 mile driving trip to the Pyrenees
The course was very intense and got me out my comfort zone on several occasions
I was surprised how poorly I went around the first course compared to Ivan but by the end of it felt I had a better understanding of driving quicker, smoother and thinking about were I should position the car
On the car I was very surprised how much grip there was and again on the braking exercises which did give me a lot more confidence
I have now completed my trip and feel I enjoyed it considerably more than I would have before and in a safer manor
After some 40 years of driving it’s taking a lot to change some bad habits but having said that I am really enjoying driving my car and feel a lot safer as a result
Now looking forward to the next alpine adventure
There’s always another level to go
Having previously been an observer for the IAM and spent a lot of time driving I thought I was a good driver but the things Ivan pointed out proved otherwise!
He provided great insight into the effects of my actions, a huge amount of guidance in practical ways as to how to improve and as a result has greatly increased the amount of pleasure I get from driving.
I would definitely recommend Ivan and Total Car Control to anyone looking to get more enjoyment from driving, especially a high powered car.
Gave me real control and gave my wife peace of mind
I booked an advanced driving session with Ivan at Total Car Control at Millbrook Proving Ground ahead of a planned road trip through the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps, and I’m so glad I did.
Ivan’s instruction was calm, precise, and incredibly effective. We covered wet handling, drifting control, advanced braking, and how to maintain composure when driving at speed or in unexpected conditions. His way of breaking everything down made it easy to absorb and apply straight away.
Not only did it elevate my own confidence behind the wheel, but it also gave my wife much more peace of mind knowing I’d had proper coaching in high-performance car control. It completely changed how I approached mountain passes and spirited driving with far more awareness, balance, and control.
If you’re planning a driving tour, own a performance car, or simply want to be a safer and more skilled driver, I can’t recommend Ivan and Total Car Control highly enough. A top-tier experience from start to finish.
Takes your driving to another level
I am a very experienced driver but wanted to enjoy increased confidence in the driving seat of my high performance cars. Ivan has delivered this in several significant ways including giving me a better understanding of the dynamics of the vehicle. Thanks to his tailored teaching I now have greater control of the steering wheel, am looking miles further ahead, have improved my planning and anticipation AND I’ve started to apply his method of controlling other drivers’ actions.
The blend of track and road sessions allows you to learn safely and then apply the new techniques in the real world. Highly recommend to anyone seeking to become a superior driver.
Three days well spent
I can highly recommend the three day course, two amazing days at Millbrook test ground then a final day on the road, Ivan has improved my driving enjoyment and confidence no end. I wish I had done it years ago.
Great learning experience
Ivan from TTC was excellent in helping me get the most out of my MR2 on track. He quickly picked up on where I was leaving performance on the table and gave clear, practical feedback that made an immediate difference to my lines and cornering. His calm, confidence-boosting style made it easy to push the car harder while staying in control. I left the day feeling much sharper behind the wheel and with a much better understanding of what my MR2 can really do.
2 Days of Expert Driver Tuition
I spent 2 days with Ivan and realised 2 things very quickly: I had a lot to learn and that I was with someone who would expertly and patiently guide me to becoming a better driver. Over the 2 days we covered many things including improved car control, road sense, wet weather handling and basic vehicle dynamics. His approach made it feel safe to explore the performance envelope of my car and apply new to me techniques of improved driving. I would highly recommend Ivan to any driver.
Thanks Ivan!!
Thanks Ivan. What a fantastic day. I wanted to explore my limits and the car's limits in a safe environment and that's exactly what I achieved today. Having done a fair few track days over the years (with no incidents by the way) I did wonder how much more I would learn, but I most certainly did. The innate reactions in all of us when driving was eye opening. Can't recommend Ivan and the course enough. Thank you.
