Looking to book a skidpad course/advanced driving or something similar for my daughters 23rd Birthday. Anyone have a recommendation either near loughborough, or louth (lincs) direction?
NLincs police used to do one, you had to live in lincs and be under 25,. might be worth a shout. It was at their HQ on the north side of Lincoln
Went on a driving experience day about 3 years ago in Loughborough, you get a choice of cars to drive, Ferrari, Lamborghini, R8 etc, couple of laps
with an instructor, then a set number of laps driving with him/ her at side of you. Also get a couple of laps as passenger with a lad drifting a 6
litre Holden ( I think it was) round the track and there was supposed to be an off road experience but that never materialized, although it was
absolutely hammering down with rain.
It was good although very busy, my lad drove a Lamborghini and loved it. Think it was a company called Everyman and was at Loughborough. Google search
should find them. I booked it as an offer on Groupon.

Donington Park have a skid pan car. Or at least they did.
Did one at Silverstone, would 100% recommend and would purchase this for any new driver (or any driver who hasn't done one before).
Cannot express how much it helps understand car control and wonder how long it is until it is part of the driving test.....or at least should be!
Thanks everyone,
I will have a look through those options tonight

Yes there is still one at Donington: http://www.donington-park.co.uk/events/skid-experience/
Also, I did one fairly recently which you might be able to also sign your daughter up to:

I did the MORE Drive one, and don't live near Luton so it didn't seem to be a problem.
Hope that helps.
