PH Drift School: It's Back
Come drift with us at Silverstone to learn the art of going sideways in a Caterham
Oversteering, drifting, skidding, going sideways....call it what you will, but however you describe it nobody can deny that it's great fun, and doing it with other PHers in specially set up Caterhams only adds to the giggle.
During the day we'll teach you how to get the car sideways, adding in various elements along the way to increase your skills. At the end of the day we'll have you at a level where you can tell a crab a thing or two about going sideways, as you 'hang it out' around our custom-built course (using cones - doesn't matter if you get it wrong then).
Have a read of the original article we ran for the first session to get a few more details - or find out just how badly Riggers did when he had a go back in October - then call the Caterham team on 01883 333700 to book, or there's Online booking available here.
One more thing to mention - Caterham has dropped the price by £30 to £195 per person - so get booking!
We look forward to seeing you there!

That's how I learnt my craft. No kids or Polar bears died in the process either.

Brownie points Scotty?
28 cars were there I think, spread across two "stages" of low-friction track.
Laps are only about 30-50 seconds long but you can have as many goes as you want, you just queue up and go when you're ready and the track is clear. 2-3 cars on track at once.
Cost is usually around £150 I think.
It would have been well worth it, but I'd buggered my neck up a few days previous. It had healed a bit by the Saturday of the event but 3 laps and some sideways movement and I'd done it in again, so I had to abort for the rest of the day.
Good fun though.

What you lose in terms of driving time, you gain in using someone else's tyres, having a series of good courses set up for you by someone who knows what they're up to, being given good advice that is specific to you and from someone who knows how to do it well, and doing it all in the context of a good day out.
It's also nice to know that your drift will not be spoiled by the sudden appearance of a blue light, Nissan Micra, or kid in a pushchair.
And I'd say I got a lot more than 12 minutes.
(But hey - I drive a 911. What do I know about value for money?
