I asked Andy Walsh at Car Limits, to make up a bespoke course including basic slalom ( eg in and out of a line of cones, handbrake turn at the end and back again) and an intro to drifting - a chance to practice controlled longish slides. I know the Scoob is not ideal for drifting, but its an excuse to try some controlled lairy driving
Its a full day course for 4 people, so I'm looking for 3 more Scooby drivers.

I have some worn tyres to use on the back, as I think this may not be tyre friendly

Having done one of his courses before, I can recommend the day. Its a concentrated learning experience. 1-1 tuition to get the technique "right" then practice on your own, but Andy is always there watching, and to ask questions, and to passenger with you to help you perfect the manoevre or to demonstrate again.

Andy said
‘As Scoobys don’t like tight stuff we can work on the hand brake stuff and the Scandinavian flick, trail braking to cause over steer, drift control and even the j turn could be covered along with the usual re-cap of the high speed bend that on a standard second day we usually work on sideways recovery anyway.
I will talk to everyone on the morning of the course to assess the requirements of the group.

Please mail me if interested. Then we can sort a date. His "4 person" days are normally £220 per person.

Or you could all give me £50 and I'll take you down the local tesco car park on a Sunday afternoon. They close at 4 so should get a few hours spinning about before darkness falls.
I'll even bring some cones from work and set out a little course.......
LOL......

Setting out the course is the easy bit ! Learning to improve your driving skills is the difficult bit !
These courses are excellent for those of us who still aren't experts

The last one was excellent, great fun, and great value. And no risk of getting pulled by Mr Plod, as I did when doing a supermarket slalom in snow back in the 60's.

I have some old (almost illegal) tyres for such events, which seem sensible to use rather than wear out still legal ones. Using those doesn't cost anything
You just need a spare set of rims.

Thanks for the positive comments - I assume you won't be coming !
