Question

Anybody interested in going to a Skid Pan Course at Castle Combe, have done this before and found it very educational (the woman at CC told me to mention the educational bit ) and good fun.
Cost is £65 each for more details see

Simon,
Looking at the website they use a FWD & RWD but not 4WD cars. The way all of these cars are handled in a skid would differ wouldn't it? Therefore would we learn as much?

Can you use your own vehicle?

DT,
Last time i went on the course there were people with various types of vehicle including Scoobies, one guy had even arranged his holidays over from America around doing the course for the third time.
Everyone agreed at the end of the day that the course as i have said was educational whatever you drive.
No you can't use your own car, but it's amazing how much fun a knackered rover and bmw can be on the slippery stuff. At the end of the course they have a time trial where you all drive against the clock in both types of car this includes hand brake turns into cone 'garages' etc.. Guess who was numero uno last time

Web Guru,
If enough people show an interest then we can organise to go as a group and sort out a date , there is no minimum number of people required so i am going anyway.

You deffo wont want to use your own cars there. They use engine oil on v smooth concrete. The cars you drive are absolutely filthy.
