About the experience
Delight in an exciting yet valuable driving experience for one. Thruxton Circuit will show you the skills of skidpan driving on a purpose-built, low-grip polished skid area. After a safety briefing and 10-minute demonstration, you’ll receive tuition on useful front and rear-wheel-driving techniques and how to handle a car in slippery conditions. Take the wheel of a Mini Cooper and Toyota GT86 with a seasoned instructor and one other participant as you put those essential driving techniques into practice. Drift and slide your way around the course with this immensely fun experience. After 25 minutes of mastering your handling skills, you’ll be ready to face unpredictable weather and road conditions with complete confidence in the real world.
