Skills for the Road Car Day 2026

IAM RoadSmart’s Skills for the Road Car Day gives drivers aged 17–26 the chance to develop essential driving skills with hands-on guidance from qualified instructors. Set in a supportive, small-group environment, the iconic Thruxton Circuit becomes your classroom.

Whether you’re a newly qualified driver or already have some experience, these practical sessions are designed to help you build confidence, control, and awareness on the road, using your own vehicle so you can immediately apply what you learn.

What’s included:
