Have you ever wanted to master the art of skidding? Now you can with this fantastic Skid Control Taster Experience at Tockwith Motorsports Centre in York. Behind the wheel of a BMW 3 Series, you'll spend approximately 10 minutes on the skid pan with a professional instructor, learning how to navigate various skidding scenarios. With one on one guidance, you'll gain hands on experience as you push the car to its limits in a safe and controlled environment—all while having an absolute blast! Perfect for beginners, these sessions run year-round at Tockwith’s purpose built skid school. Unlike other venues, no cradles are used here; instead, you’ll experience authentic skidding as the tyres lose grip on the slick surface. This experience isn’t just about fun—it’s also highly practical. You’ll acquire valuable skills to help manage skids in real world driving situations, giving you greater confidence behind the wheel. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy expert tuition at this incredible facility. Book your spot today with a gift voucher and get ready to skid like a pro!
