I got a great present this year - a day of skid pan training. I'm really looking forward to it.

I did an hour or so a month ago, organised through my local IAM.

Great fun, learnt some new stuff on how to quell understeer but didn't learn much on controlling oversteer as I spent the whole time trying to powerslide (in 1.8 Sierra) around the cones.

I did learn the value of the saying 'Look where you want to go', even if it is through the side window!

I did a course at Castle Combe. Great fun.

I did a couple of laps in the RWD car trying to keep it clean, but after a while I had to give it some welly and sin it right out.

I wasn't going to leave without a few 360 degree spins. biggrin

I got a track day as my Christmas bonus this year. Thruxton here I come.
