I'm coming from Ireland via a ferry to Hollywood so am thinking about an Anglesey track day. How do you think this track would suit my car - a standard k-series Elise?

I'm also thinking about doing one of your caterham drift days. Can you provide a bit more detail on these days? Are they full or half days and what format do they take?

Thanks
Hello, it should suit you pretty well. We run a day at Anglesey for the Lotus club each year and it's always a popular day.

Our Drift Champion experience is a full day, which runs from 8:30am-4:30pm (approximately). You will be taught how to drift and donut in our Caterhams. It will also teach you car control and handling. During the morning you will be introduced to a series of drift skills, which you will then have the chance to practice and perfect, allowing for plenty of time in car. In the afternoon we will expand the course, adding in extra challenges, which you will then be able to practice again. The main competition will begin mid-afternoon, where everyone will compete against one another, to be crowned Drift Champion.

The day will end with a prize giving and an award for the Driver of the Day. Our qualified instructors will be on hand to teach and guide you throughout the day. Lunch and all day hospitality is included for all drivers. If you would like any further information about this, or anything else we do, just let us know.

I attended the drift day at Donington last year, and I highly recommend it.
The only complaint is the limited amount of time in the car, because each run is very short, and each car is shared by several drivers.
Nevertheless, well worth the money.

Glad you enjoyed it. We have revised it over the winter and changed the format for this year. Our main aim is to provide as much time in car as possible for each driver. This year we will run longer courses and more cars, with each person driving more laps at once, to ensure every driver is in car more than they are out of it.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

Calling all track day newbies! We are running a novice track day at Donington Park on Saturday 26th August.

The day is aimed at anyone who either hasn't done a track day before, or who hasn't done many track days - no race licence holders. It is a full day, open pit lane track day. Booking numbers will be lower than normal, to ensure everyone can learn without feeling pressured.

As well as an extended safety briefing, we are offering free instruction sessions for each driver. It is the perfect time to get used to track driving, with some invaluable tuition and advice from our qualified ARDS instructors.

Bookings must be made on our website, but if you have any questions about the day, please let us know.
