I am keen to get to know my latest beastie (a C63 AMG) in a safe environment and in the past have enjoyed excellent value days with Carlimits. Unfortunately, Andy Walsh the owner and chief instructor, has badly broken his shoulder and is out of action. Does anyone know a company offering something similar? Ie pay £25 and hoon about around cones on a large expanse of tarmac with nothing to hit...

At this time of year you'll get an airfield track day for around £100.
Thanks, but I'm not after a track day. That presents the risk of other people bashing into me and most operators will black flag anyone who drives sideways. The beauty of the Carlimits days was that they set up little relatively low speed courses which you drove around one at a time and gave you the chance to learn your car's behaviour at the limit. Any other ideas?

Try a track day at Curborough. One car at a time on track, and you can do what you like regarding skids and sideways antics. "Skylinecrazy" on here organises a monthly day there - see www.facebook.com/sprintandtrackday. Cost about £60 when I went in the summer.
Thanks that sounds ideal, at least it would if I didn't live on the south coast! Does anyone know of any similar venues in the south? I'm based in the New Forest near Southampton.
