Can anyone help me? I’ve had my Elise s1 for 8 months now and have been going sideways without much confidence for a while, so I want to find somewhere like an old disused airfield or a big car park, in the Cheshire area, out of site to the public if possible, to practice my sideways technique and gain more confidence, any ideas guys??

Join Lotus on Track and do one of their activity days.

Ten quid, North Weald airfield and as much space as you want to hoon about.

Great fun, don't take your wife along though, she may cry in the passenger seat when totally sideways at about 80mph

Next time, I will be going alone.......

sainsburys is too public, would attract to much police interest, and i wanted to brush up on my skills before looking like a fool in front of my fellow lotus nutters! i tried a burtonwood but its full of fleet rovers any other ideas?
