Extended Motor Racing with Tiff Needell at Thruxton
Overview
Tiff Needell's TV appearances on Top Gear and Fifth Gear have cemented his status as master of drifts. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness his legendary car control first-hand from the passenger seat of a BMW M4, whilst also taking part in some driving yourself. After three demo laps with an instructor, put the pedal to the metal and drive a Porsche Cayman for three laps of Thruxton's 2.4 mile world-class circuit. This is followed by ten laps driving a Formula Renault single-seater. If this wasn't enough, hold on for two high speed laps in a mini Le Mans Peugeot Cup Car driven by an instructor, before Tiff takes you for three passenger laps in the BMW M4. Relive the day from the comfort of your sofa with a HD DVD of the day.
