Drift training

[xcentric]

Does anyone have any recommendations for places/people/courses to learn to drift? Based in Shropshire, but willing to travel. There are a few advertised but most have varying reviews, if any at all (typically, a few scoring 0 or 1 and a few giving 5.....) Wanting to learn both drifting and more generally over the limit car control. No open road or car park recommendations please

We went to drift limits last month, brilliant day out

Yep, Drift Limits are great and lots of positive reviews.

Did a bespoke full day with this lot. Excellent day

Are you looking to just learn car control or take up drifting as a hobby ?

Try any of the drift days for a taster - be warned though, nothing like getting into your own car and having a full day of it with your mates

I’d also recommend drift limits

[xcentric]

bit of both - at and beyond limit car control so it's second nature - but possibly interested in drift racing too. Would be happy taking my Caterham somewhere to do it if there were places/people who could teach me in that.....

MSVT Oulton Park Circuit Drift Days. It's your own car on their tarmac rally stage that they keep wet all day so its incredibly slippy and has very little car or tyre wear. Nothing really to hit either, so watch some guidance videos before, then just practice and improve in a safe environment. Can pay a little for an instructor to sit in with you for some guidance.
I personally found it much more useful than Learn2Drift at Birmingham Wheels.

There is a Caterham drift experience at Silverstone. It IS in a car park :-)

Did it with a few mates about 5 years ago and it was good fun. The car is set up so that it practically can't go in a straight line and it's all 1st / 2nd gear slow speed stuff but certainly tests your control of a car that's been set up to slide.

We all enjoyed it (& most of us were 7 owners)

I took my 18 year old son to a Drift Limits driving experience (track) and the folks doing the drifting looked to be having a fun time.
