Im looking for somewhere in the Soth East that I can take my Westfield, stick on some old rear tyres on it and learn a little more about the car's handling, oversteer, doughnuts drifting around cones etc.

I've done a Caterham drifting day at Brands Hatch and I took my Sylva Striker to the Kent Police skid pan both where extremely helpful and a LOT of fun.

Before anyone recommends a big deserted car park at midnight...no thanks, I did that 25 years ago! smile

i had a caterham 7 and I went along to have a play and the bug caught and I ended up modifying the caterham just for autotests

Huge fun and costs bugger all to enter as in £20 to £30 up here in the uncivilised end of the world

Rent an airfield for an afternoon/a few hours.

Similar costs to a trackday, with no other traffic to worry/be embarrassed about.

Have a chat with Johnny at www.driftlimits.co.uk and see if you can do something in your own car?

I've done half a day in their MX5s and thought it was great.

I rented Bruntingthorpe for 3 hours. Fun doesn't come close.
