Just remember not to try to impress the instructor. Smoothness is what they are looking for, not to be scared by how fast you can drive. If you drive smoothly, then the speed will come.
Good Luck!

Hi Austin.

Best of luck with your day. Funnily enough you will not be the only forum member there doing there ARDS course that day.

Cheers Matt

best of luck with the test. As said before dont try and impress the instructor just drive nice and smoothly, concentrate on your turn in and exit points and the speed will come.

one tip, make sure you learn every flag and its meaning. you get a multiple choice question and answer for these but you HAVE to get every one right to pass. 19 out of 20 is no good.
I thought i knew every one but there is an obscure flag that they only really use in karting that i didnt know. luckily i managed to take a peek at one of the other lads sheets and he gave me a nod

also remember that if no starting lights are used then it is the national flag that starts the race (not the union jack) you may be racing in another country

Matt, are you refering to Tim? I spoke to him on Friday and he said he was intending to book it the same day.

Hi Austin.

Yea it was Tim. Now as above dont go trying to out do each others laptimes.
Save that till your both out in RGB then its game on.

Hope you both have a good day.

Cheers Matt
