I'd strongly suggest that we could spare the time to get some of the experienced drivers to go out with the inexperienced drivers, to show them all of the lines, and braking points etc. prior to the start of the practice day.
Then keeping them in the "novice" group on the practice day.
Then they would be a lot more confident, and enjoy the experience.
3. For these same drivers....as mentioned above...a "regularity" event is perfect for those who would love to try the track, but would like to have a competition whilst not driving at 10/10ths.

The passenger laps originally started as driver training sessions with other inexperienced drivers going for hotlaps with fast guys or fast guys riding with more inexperienced drivers. It has become a hotlap passenger session for spectators which is fine, but it does take away from the driver training. I have taken a few drivers who were just starting for laps and tried to give them all the advice I could and from what they tell me, it helped.
Same thing when I went out as a passenger for two sessions with another young driver (father son combo). He was appreciative and said it helped a lot also despite the fact you can't driver train in a cobra on the run due to the noise, you have to debrief after!
I like the idea of driver training though, I think it's great and benefits people a lot. Would like to see it again for sure.
Regularity also used to be an event i'm sure. I remember the old man used to quite often get a trophy for that!
I like these suggestions Warren, would be good to see these two things back especially.
