[gcpeters]

Hello

my other half fancies doing this for her birthday (for someone who has zero interest in cars unless its a G Wagon i was amazed...)

anyhow, does anyone have any recommendations for a full days course?

thanks!

I did one with L2D (learn 2 drift) it was a female instructor who competes. Me and two mates did it.

Was brilliant we mainly drove is200 (nissans at end), we had a couple of car issues due to abuse, they just got another one out.

Not sure how big the groups normally are, my mate organized ours and instead of one of the courses you can pick got just us three for the day.

I did mine at rockingham.

really was good fun with breaks to watch the other people in car (gets hot in the car getting your head around it).

I found the women instructor brilliant, very relaxed. Best bit was when she said you've let off clutch to slow again you dick. Really chilled out mate kind of instructions i just found it a breath of fresh air.

At the end she took us round at full pelt and its an eye opener.

Anyway i used them and rate them.

Goodwood Motor Circuit do Spin and Slide, it’s only an hours experience though for £99, A nice new BMW M140i though. Could bundle it in with one of the other longer BMW track experiences though?

I did the half-day experience with RDX drift academy at 3-Sisters (Wigan) earlier this year.

They have a pair of 350Zs they use for drift tuition.

Great instructors. Loads of seat time for the money. Loved it and would recommend to anyone.

Driftlimits in Hemel are pretty good if they are still going.

I did a morning with them earlier this year. Wasn't bad, but they run on a badly oiled surface. On the day I went it was a really inconsistent mix of oil slicks, dry concrete and standing water. I found the surface distracted from learning the basics, even my instructor was struggling not to spin out on the demo laps at the end.

I had an email from book-a-track the other day about drift days they're running at Donnington... Might have been today and tomorrow though it looks like they have other dates.

I'd recommend the book a track caterham experience. I did it in the sopping wet but it was great fun! Here's my winning run from the day:
