Anyone know any advanced driving courses in Japan? I want to learn more about proper handling at speed, skids, spin recovery, track etc.

Thanks!

Hi,
sorry for my late reply.
Although I have not forgotten "IT", I did not have time to send a reply. :D

This site links and info is all Japanese.

(Ummm..........Last Update : '02.5.22)

If you want to drive to "Closed circuit Course".
Nikko Circuit
http://www.nikko-circuit.com/


next is "road".
I think Ashinoko Skyline (Hakone) is best.
That's Clean road Condition and Good View Location, Near from Tokyo.

Hi,

If you interested in Honda course "Twin Ring Motegi" it has trainning space that they called "Active Safety Trainning Park".
Please see this
