This fantastic activity will teach you how to control the car in a drift manoeuvre, utilising figures of eight and long swept corners, navigating through donuts and tight corners. A fully qualified instructor will first teach you to control the vehicle, understand the counter steering and feel the raw power of the car. Then move onto the autosprint to be tested against the clock as you drift your way round a tightly coned course. Next try the slalom and test your handling ability to the limit. After lunch (not included except at Bedfordshire venue) hone your drifting skills further. All events are timed and count towards points at the end of the day with prizes for the top three drivers. This high speed adventure will have you smiling for days!
