Today was 13 year old Patrick 'Patch' Mason's first time out in his Saxmax Racecar. Other than a bit of practice around his local supermarket carpark this was Patrick's first time driving a car.
Patrick's dad Edward has bought him Daniel Brown's frontrunning Momo liveried saxo which is extremely well prepared.
We covered all of the usual things for a first day in the car - Gearshift Practice, braking with the right foot, skid control and analysing the feedback from the car. Patrick took to it very quickly and we were doing heel and toe braking within half an hour - most Junior drivers take a day or two's training to get there!!
Now that Patrick has completed an airfield day he can start to drive at some circuits. We're going to silverstone on the national circuit this saturday. I'll try to get some pictures and video and post up here.
