Keeps popping up in my fantasy mind. How do I buy a piece of land in the middle of nowhere in the UK, pave it with slippery concrete and then just have a 24*7 spot where I can go to do donuts whenever I want. Is there a Rightmove type website for this lol.
Likely to fall foul of planning regulations. Just because you own a piece of land doesn't mean you can do what you want on it.hidetheelephants said:
Why does it need to be in the middle of nowhere? Rent a big enough portal frame shed/industrial unit and you can doughnut indoors.
Many years back I worked the nightshift for an engineering company, the factory was so big that we could park our cars inside the factory to stop them getting frosted up during winter.One morning I may have been a little too heavy on the throttle resulting in two black lines each about 12~15ft long and a foot wide on the perfectly smooth white painted floor...

One winter we had some over night snow, so obviously being a grown up sort of person I made sure the engine in my M5 was properly warm before turning the traction control off and doing donuts in the car park

Buy a pickup and find a field - even my gutless Hilux will do do pretty decent donuts on grass with nothing in the bed. You can do what you like on it for up to 28 days a year, more than enough to make yourself feel very sick or get very bored of doing donuts.
An old Omega or BMW would work too but will easily get stuck if it rains. Concreting acres of ground will be extortionately expensive and need planning permission.

Wouldn't you get bored of doing donuts after about three minutes?
Or too expensive.Reminds me of when I got my first litre bike back in the day & how willingly it would spin the rear tyre when attempting a burn-out.
Interest quickly wore off after I knackered two rear tyres at £100/each in the space of a week and also realised that even in the middle of a car park in a "bikers pub", with encouragement from onlookers, it still made me look an absolute bellend.
Win the lottery and make these guys an offer? https://www.silverstone.co.uk/about/british-racing...

Hah! The only time I've ever done that was on the way to get the rear on my GSX-R750 replaced. Figured I'd give it a go. That was the right time to try it Reminds me of when I got my first litre bike back in the day & how willingly it would spin the rear tyre when attempting a burn-out.

Spend a few ££ on going to an 'own car drift day'. I've done one on a tarmac rally circuit at Oulton Park, which is incredibly slippery when wet, and it is regularly dowsed by a bowser during the day. The car gets filthy, and if you leave the track energetically you can damage your car if you're unlucky, but it is great fun, you're supposed to be there and you can transition from one direction to the other on certain corners as well.
