Caterham drift day or Phil Price Rallying?
Discussion
Hey, so my 30th is this week! Debating a decent track day, not a short lived, restricted blast like I had in a 360 years ago.
I've read good things about both Caterham drifting and Phil price rallying full days, has done both of these to compare?
Something tells me the rallying one may be slightly more action packed with the higher cost but I'd like to get into Motorsport in the future, so maybe the Caterham day might be good experience as a drift intro...

Having done the drift day and read a few reviews of the phil price rally day I think the rally day has more actual driving time.
the caterham advanced drift day is great value but you need to have done the first one.
I think the Phil Price day suses mk2 escorts so you will be drifing anyway :-)

I've done the Caterham drift day (shortly after buying my R400) and have to say it was an awesome day. Whilst you're not in the car constantly, I certainly didn't feel short changed in any way by the amount of time we got (unlike many other experience days). As has been mentioned, it really helped with my car control A LOT, getting a feel for how a car breaks away and how you sustain it teaches you an enormous amount.
That said, as has been mentioned above, the Palmersport day is also absolutely excellent, a lot more expensive, but if you can stretch to it it's certainly worth it.... That said, it was driving their Caterhams that meant I had to buy one... so it was SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive that i'd expected!

I have done a rally experience, and while it was interesting, it taught me relatively little about car control as they insisted on using 2 litre Proton FWD rally cars, left hand drive, and insisted we got to grips with creating lift off oversteer. As I had only rear wheel or four wheel drive cars, it was a tad pointless.
The drifting session sounds a lot more use and hence fun.
The other suggestion I would make really works best if you have a mate to share the cost and the fun:
Call Johnny at Book-a-track.com, and book a Caterham R300 for a full track day. I do loads of track days and regularly see their cars on track. I have a 5 litre TVR and they have a similar pace to my car. I tend not to drive more than 15 minutes in every 30, so sharing a Caterham with a mate makes a lot more sense than it sounds. Book-a-track bring the car to the track, fuel it, insure it, mend it, they even bring instructors to help you with lines etc. You just bring yourself and your driving licence.
