Looking for feedback. Has anyone done one? I know they're quite spendy...was it worth it?

I’m going to do the Below Zero one. Both Harris and Catchpole have videos of it and seem to enjoy it.

Apparently the Best thing for reduced grip car control , Yellow491 done it and really want to do myself .

If you want to learn true car control,tuthills is the one,absolutely brilliant.

I've wanted to do this for ages but could never justify the spend. I suppose the budget alternative is to fit Pirelli P Zeros to your car and go out in the wet....

I really want to do this too!

I've done Below Zero Ice. Best time on 4 wheels I have had outside of racing. One of my friends on the trip had done one of the Porsche ones and enjoyed the BZ trip more. I went 3.5 years ago and it was about £5k for the trip. Probably more now, if only because of £ depreciation. 4 of us sharing 2 cars over 2 days was £4k each, plus £1k for flights, hotels, etc. So as you say, quite spendy, but well worth it if you only do it once.

Never driven on ice before, but by the end I was flicking a rally prepared, air cooled 911 lock to lock oversteer around a frozen lake. Just so much fun. Instructors are excellent, the numbers are small (just me and 3 mates on our second day) and you are well looked after.

I had done what was called Camp 4 in 2005 and 2006 with my Porsche Centre. Best experience ever. I will do it again probably in a few years as driving in such a safe environment makes one push the car and discover the limit (but also the resilience) of the cars. As great as Silverstone and instructors are, the Porsche Finland Winter Camps are the best memories I have had of car driving and meeting enthusiasts. This in a magic environment!

The main issue for me is that is that whatever I spend will get spent again by SWMBO
