Where can our son learn to drive his Aston Martin Vantage company car safely?

My 31-year-old son (who currently drives a Fiesta) has been told that his company car for his new job starting next month will be an Aston Martin Vantage. Lucky sod. Can you recommend a suitable course to keep him and it in one piece? He lives in Brighton.

He will be able to get professional road and track instruction at any racetrack, so the best thing to do is make enquiries at the track most convenient to him. Porsche has its own small track, skidpan and 'ice hill' at Silverstone. His nearest circuit is Goodwood. Mercedes-Benz has a selection of tracks and some very good, very calm instructors at the MB Driving Academy at MB World. He's going to be paying eyewatering BIK tax on that Aston Martin.
