I just had a chat to the guys at Thruxton (Driving Management ltd) A 3 hour course costs £75, 6 hours @ £125. If there are 9 of us attending the there is a reduction of £10 per head.

We get a briefing, Demo then get to learn techniques like cadence braking and car control. If you do the longer session then you do "bandit runs"

At the end of the session you can take your own cars on the skid pan!

I have been on an off road driving course run by these people and they are VERY good. I really had a great day!

www.skidpan.org.uk/

Anyone up for this?

I would be interested but will be very date dependant, might be worth talking about over breakfast at next meet, when we are all together.

Hi

Also very keen. Depends on dates etc of course. Count me in in principle, not that thruxton is an ideal elise circuit - fast but not that twisty. Skidpan is always a blast - usually reminds me what a cp driver I am!

Cheers
Andrew

I'd be up for either option as well depending on the day.
