Book One-to-One Lessons with Dan

Hi, my name is Dan Willison. I've been a karting instructor at Midland Karting for several years, and I specialise in teaching students of all levels, including children with learning difficulties.

I've done karting at almost all levels including competitive and was part of the Naval Karting Team from 2003-2008 and raced in several championships. I've trained 10 Current Champions that have all learned their skills from a well-organised and disciplined approach to karting, and countless others that are still on their motorsport journey with me. Private training sessions with myself cost £120, but I get results.

If you would like to book me specifically when choosing an instructor, please let the sales team know when placing your booking.

Single Sessions

From £80 for 1 hour session, our one-to-one tuition lessons are perfect value and gives your child a better start to becoming a more competent driver.

One-to-one Packages

For those looking for a longer-term set of goals and a continued tuition process then you can book several sessions at discounted pricing + receive a free helmet when you book a bundle of 10 sessions at once! Lessons will take place on the Family circuit and on the Premier Circuit. All sessions can be taken during the year but don't need to be pre-booked, with limited weekend availability but usually run between 8 am and 9 am (subject to availability).

Once you have completed your one-to-one lessons you will be required to take part in a basic kart driving assessment. Upon passing, you will receive a 12-month Midland Karting driving licence. A fee of £25 may apply to the test, which covers the cost of kart hire, instructor and licence for the session.

Please be aware that all sessions need to be pre-booked, and all drivers must be aged 7-years or over. For further information please contact us.

Group Bookings

For the drivers wanting to learn with friends or siblings we offer a group tuition, this is a great way for drivers to learn the fundamentals of racing with others in a smaller setting learning the skills at the same time progressing together at the same pace.
