Caterham Drift Experience - will my wife be bored?

[ghibbett]

So tomorrow I am attending the Caterham Drift Experience at Silverstone. I've paid for my wife to spectate however I imagine there's a good chance she'll be bored. Anyone else who's been with their partner found this to be the case?

[Guy Lowe]

Yes & Yes.

pay a bit more and get her in the car she wont be bored then

On the ones I did, the wives/girlfriends feigned intrerest surprisingly well.
Especially when armed with a camera!

Thanks All.

The old Doris has decided to stay at home (hopefully to clean the house), so I'll head off on my tod. Looks like it's going to be a wet one!

I was at the morning session this Saturday just gone of the Caterham drift experience - it was fantastic!!

What did you think of it? My only gripe was that there were 18 of us in the group so there was a fair amount of waiting around between drives.

I loved it! It was wet in the morning and gradually dried out throughout the day until, of course, the assessment when it pi55ed it down and completely changed the grip levels. We had 13 in our group, so had a little more car time that normal. It was a brilliant day though and I would highly recommend it

Will you go forward and try the advanced drift school now?

I heard there was a fantastic "macrae - esque" type character that won the assessment......

What number were you? edit- just checked your garage and noticed the C63, so you were the one with the grey/red top?

[ghibbett]

Yes I was No2 (literally!) in the grey/red North Face top. Really enjoyed the day but the conditions changing for the assessment made it tricky. Had a blast tho.

Didn't realise there was another PH'er there

[scoobyc]

Shame I never twigged sooner or we could have had more of a natter about petrol stuff! Catch you next time though

[binnerboy]

I have done the drift day a couple of times. It is good but the afternoon is a lot of waiting.

The advanced drift experience is awesome and I highly recommend it. 4 people, 1 car, 3.5 hours.

knackered and happy at the end.

Booked in for the 16th September.
Unfortunately, we're only in the UK for my wedding so as well as the new wife, I also have her sister (very cute) and her Mum (looks like Yoda) with us. Considering the new MIL can't speak a word of English not the fairest of things to leave her behind in the hotel on her tod.
New wifey isn't too impressed and thinks I'm trying to kill myself so soon after the wedding but I told her that I have to have at least one enjoyable day out of the trip to the UK

Should be fun having the 3 of them in the rented RRS trying to travel sideways at every roundabout on the drive back down to Dorset afterwards
