Autocar's Drift School

[lotusnick S2]

I was reading Autocar today and I saw the event as mentioned in the title.
It is done together with Catherham in Silverstone and costs 199 squids
Has anyone done this before?
Is it worth the money? Opinions please

Thank you
Nikos

Did it last year, hugely entertaining. I think it was quite a bit less expensive last year though. Fun as it is, I'd think twice about spending that much on it.

Did it the same day as Trackdemon.

Am of much the same opinion as him to be honest.

You did?? Maybe we met but I didn't match the name to the handle?

Anyway, I think these days can only be value if you "win". I got a free sub to Autocar and entry to the sideways challenge (in one of there cars), which made it worthwhile. Looking back, 8 runs in a Caterham with crap tyres in a car park for £150+ doesn't strike me as value. I'm a big fan of Autocar, having been to many of there trackdays, but I don't think any of these Caterham days are value.

Yep, I was one of the pair of fat blokes who had trouble getting in and out!

Judas and Ace-T were also there.

Thank you for the feedback guys.

I thought it was going to be more than 8 runs.
That means I wont be doing it.
