Coaching
'I used Ollie to help me learn the new Silverstone Arena GP Circuit in preparation for the 2011 Intercontinental Le Mans Cup Silverstone 1000km race. His approach was relaxed, understanding of my specific needs and he communicated clearly. It helped enormously to learn the lines of the new parts of the circuit but he also enabled me find time in the old corners that I'd driven hundreds of times. My first laps over the race weekend weren't spent learning and I was able to pull myself a lot closer in terms of laptime to Tim Mullen with whom I was sharing the car. At the end of the weekend I took my first podium in the ILMC. Ollie certainly helped me a lot and I would recommend him to anyone wishing to find those extra tenths' or to hone their technique.' - Roger Wills, Multiple race winner in Historic Motorsport, CRS Ferrari F430 GT2 LMS and McLaren MP4-12C GT3 Driver.
"I learnt more on a cold, foggy day afternoon in a radical SR3 with Ollie Hancock in the passenger seat instructing than I had in four years of track days and a years racing in a Caterham" - Erin Baker - Sunday Telegraph
“Had I not had two days of Drivers Club training with Ollie in the Radical at a very wet Silverstone recently, there’s no way I’d have been as quick and consistent as I was today.” - Chris Cappucini - Ve D Ve Sports car driver
“It was great, Ollie [Hancock] is such a talented instructor and really the best I've had. He provides great info and also knows when to shut up! I look forward to continuing the training.” Tobias Elbl
