My wife chose the course as a gift. She researched extensively and went for the best course, not the cheapest.

This course was great fun! It was physically MUCH HARDER than I expected. It really helps develop car control skills and is incredible fun!"
- Soni Pone
I had an unforgettable day. I have been on a few of the Car Experience days (Silverstone etc) and absolutely nothing comes close to what you learn and do yourself with the car by the end. I was a bit worried the cost and the amount of time would not be enough but, I couldn't have done anymore than what we did and I would have paid double what I did. The teaching is invaluable and I now have some knowledge of grip, throttle and steering to really achieve a drift. The feeling is un-rivalled and Colin allows you to really push the car and yourself, until you 'get it'. Most of the other days I have been on with others are rushed and extremely controlled and there is no way you can learn from that. If you are a car enthusiast and want to learn how Jeremy Clarkson does all those power slides - the drifting course is an absolute must! But, assume you are an amateur and listen to years of experience to get the most out of it"
- Steve Adams
The experience was fantastic - very well organised, all procedures were explained thoroughly. I was quite nervous at the start but Colin was a brilliant instructor and above all made the day so much fun!"
- Jo Neville
Excellent day."
- Richard Davenport
I cannot recommend this experience enough. The level of thought given by Colin and his team to the mechanics of driving is extraordinary. Simple stuff that genuinely changes the way you view each part of driving a car and how you can better predict a car's behaviour."
- Andrew Healy
I've had plenty of 20 minute sessions on track days, but the problem with those is they aren't long enough, and they're delivered by racing drivers - and the characteristics that make you a good racing driver (ego & aggression) make you a very poor teacher. Colin describes in detail the point of an exercise, then you repeat it until you properly understand what the car is doing underneath you, with pauses for further explanation, on both sides." - Hugh Davies

You will learn the secrets and master over limit handling and ultimate car control. You will understand and practice the building blocks of controlling a vehicle at and beyond its limit of adhesion.

The course itinerary has been carefully crafted, promoting confidence at grip limit. Gravel and tarmac rally drivers, racing drivers, track day drivers, drifters, advanced road drivers and driving coaches have all enjoyed and benefited from this unique coaching experience.

drifttraining2A successful drift is the culmination of many core skills polarized into one “extreme” exercise. Those core techniques are explained and demonstrated in finite detail.
