Default Looking for Track/Race School with an S2000

Does anybody know of a track or race school that has an S2000 on their school fleet?

I'm looking to get some track tuition in an S, but for a variety of reasons taking mine on the track is a non-starter.

Any info gratefully received, thanks.

I can state pretty categorically that there aren't any.

Based on Tanuki's reply, you might want to consider this: https://www.motorsport-events.com/pages/1-to-1-tuition in your own car. No-one else around to worry about (assuming that's one of the reasons you don't want to use your own car).

I sold an S2000 engine to someone who said he might be interested in other bits because he had a garage with a client who has a few S2000s that he uses for driver training and they get abused and broken. So, assuming that place still exists, there is somewhere. I think this is his garage https://dream-automotive.myshopify.com/pages/about-us. He'll hopefully give you the number if they still exist. If you find it, post the name of the place up, I'd be up for some S2000 specific tuition without sacrificing my car.

And since asking the question this morning, I also found this:

http://www.performance-cars.net/track/page-1812.html

So, many thanks for all your replies. Does anybody have personal experience of any of the companies/indviduals whose links have been posted above? It's always nice to get a personal recommendation if at all possible.

I've done the 1 to 1 tuition with Ed Moore. It was great fun and very useful, too.

I wouldn't get too hung up on having tuition in an S2000. Most of the techniques you will learn can be applied to any car at beginner level.

Plenty out there use Mk1/mk2 MX5s. I'd suggest you go and start in one of those it'll teach you a lot.
