Get ready to witness an epic showdown between two amazing drift cars - the Mazda MX-5 NB and the BMW E90. Drifting is considered the "dark art" of Motorsport, and once you master the technique, you'll be completely engrossed. The instructors are absolutely wild, and after your initial sighting laps, one of them will take you on a thrilling high-speed sideways ride to really get your adrenaline pumping. If you haven't fled the venue by this point, get ready to experience drifting both cars yourself, with 4 laps each, around the street-derived course at Bovingdon Circuit. After this exhilarating experience, getting back into your own car for the journey home is going to feel incredibly dull in comparison!
