Every cloud caused by smoking tyres will have a silver lining for Drifting fans on this Silver Drift Battle experience that's exclusive to our Bovingdon Circuit venue based in Hertfordshire, in high spec drifting cars from both Nissan and BMW on offer to get behind the wheel of and go sideways in! Upon arrival at the venue, your expert drifting instructor will give you your 30 minute briefing session, followed by four sighting laps that will help give a feel of what to expect out on the drifting stage - which is where you'll then get to take on cruising sideways in both the Nissan 350z and BMW E90 Drift Taxi for 8 laps each!
