Going for the day in March with a couple of Lotus driving friends ....

Anyone had experience ?

I went on a 4 person day in December (though there were only 3 of us!)... The day was awesome.

I went along in my Chimaera and there was also a 911 and an Elise - a good front/mid/rear engine comparison! Basically you get taught various aspects of car control and have a fairly free reign in choosing what you want to learn. You also get plenty of hoon time to practise everything! The surface isn't too abrasive so tyre wear isn't excessive, and there is loads of open space to play around in.

I learnt a lot and would recommend this to anyone. Enjoy!

Not been myself but a couple of friends from work went in December and they said it was excellent. The video I saw of the high speed cornering and J-turns looked really good.

The guy that does it, wasn't keen on them videoing the day as he is going to release an instructional video soon but they did get some good shots.

But watch the gully as you gracefully bounce over it having realised that you over cooked it!

Sounds like we're going to have a great laugh !

Cheers for the responses all ....
