36 Laps of Drifting! - Get sideways in a Mazda MX-5 NB and the BMW E90. Drifting is the "dark art" of Motorsport and once you nail the technique you'll be hooked. The instructors are bonkers and after your sighting laps, of them will be taking you for a sideways high speed ride to get your juices flowing. If you haven't fled the venue at this point you'll enjoy drifting both cars yourself (8 laps each) around the street-derived course at Bovingdon Circuit. Getting back in your own car for the journey home is going to feel very boring!
