    Can you handle Mazda’s Special Ops Driver Training?
    We've teamed up with Mazda to give you the chance to learn counter-terrorist driving techniques taught by ex-special service agents
    03rd August 2006

    Mazda is offering a handful of lucky petrol heads the chance to spend half a day learning advanced driving techniques from ex-special service agents.

    The skills covered in the Special Ops Driver Training Day – dubbed ‘Renesis’ – will give successful applicants the chance to experience extreme manoeuvres, swapping mundane three-point turns for mind-blowing J-turns, lazy Sunday afternoon drives for high-octane power slides, and rush-hour gridlock for high-speed avoidance driving.

    Places are being determined and allocated via an interactive Renesis suitability profile, which can be completed online at https://www.renesis.co.uk The vital few, deemed to be most equipped to handle this specialised driving challenge, will be selected and offered the chance to ‘go for a spin’ Renesis style.

    As well as practical expertise, Renesis’ masters of motoring will also offer a rare insight into the world of special services driving, bringing their most covert of trades out from the underground to share with those who make the grade.

    Of the Renesis trainees, the best performers on the day will get to put their new driving skills to the test for real on an official Renesis training mission in Moscow.

    If you think you can handle it, apply at https://www.renesis.co.uk

    I applied for that for my OH. I go a couple of emails saying he was in the shortlist, and we'd hear soon if he had been picked, but i haven't heard anything more.

    Hope he gets picked cos he'd love it.

    Well done you - there must be loads of people applying:T
