ABOUT THE EVENT Tesla cars have broad appeal. You might have chosen one because you like gadgets and technology, or because you want to reduce your carbon footprint. However these cars are all seriously quick, and for many owners they are a BIG performance upgrade. This driver activity day provides an opportunity to explore the full performance of your car in a safe and friendly environment. Start by enjoying our high speed bend where we have the space to allow you to push your limits and that of your car, with input from our instructor to improve the control and handling of your vehicle. For many it will turn the well known rules of driving on their head! Later enjoy the circuits around soft cones, improving your lap with each time around. Unlike the road or track days, on the activity days with only one car travelling at speed in an area at a time, you can concentrate on what you're doing without worrying about everyone else's actions. A great day to increase your driving ability and have fun. If time+weather permits in the afternoon, we'll put all of the exercises together into the sprint circuit, as shown here:

LOCATION Merlin Way North Weald Essex CM16 6HR If using Sat Nav, please note, some sat navs will take you to the wrong part of Merlin Way as there is an old gate in a car park that is now locked shut, so access can not be gained from this direction. The easiest way is to get off M11 at Junction 7 and just follow the signs to 'North Weald Market'.

ITINERARY 08.45 Meet on the airfield by the coffee bus. 09:00 Once most people have arrived there will be a briefing by the instructor. 9.30am - 4.00pm - A large group day with the following activities; High speed bend

Small circuit

Medium Circuit

Sprint Circuit included weather/time permitting Lunch break is usually around 12:00pm. INSURANCE This is NOT a track day - it is driver training on private land. This is normally covered under your standard car insurance policy - if in doubt please check your policy wording and/or contact your insurer. SPECTATORS, PASSENGERS + MULTIPLE DRIVERS? Spectators and front seat passengers are no problem, but rear seat passengers are not allowed on the activities. There is no problem with two or more people sharing the driving in the same car with one ticket. Don't buy multiple tickets for one car as you'll run out of battery. WAITING FOR A MODEL 3 DELIVERY? Please do not book a place on this event unless you have at least a delivery appointment scheduled prior to the event date. If the tickets sell out before you have this don't worry - we'll organise another date. RANGE ANXIETY More like range euphoria! The first exercise of the day will probably be driving to the airfield in the most efficient manner possible, but you should only expend 40-50% of your available charge while you're there - so if you arrive on 75% you should have around 25% when it's time to leave. The nearest Tesla superchargers are Birchanger Green (15m) and South Mimms (25m). I took the photo below near the end of the day in between runs on the sprint circuit. I'd arrived with ~85% charge.
