Professional Instructors

As instructors for Skid Control, we all cover a variety of driving disciplines and we all have to be at the top of our game to be able to teach and drive at the level required.

Our drivers have both professional and personal experience in film, motorsport and other driving industries. All of our drivers are well presented, quality driven and super easy to work with.
