For me I would always have preferred to have used my own car. Great value too.

Am liking the look of the Norfolk Arena days, thanks Stuart.

There's an airfield in North Essex we can hire for less than that where we just get on with it. I'll try and get details.....

Will be interested in the details mate :thumbs:
One of the good things about Norfolk Arena is that the surface isn't too grippy, so getting the car out of shape is easy.......keeping it out of shape is less easy!

Keep the thread updated Rob :)

I would say that Gosfield would be great for testing purposes but drifting and car control with screeching tyres would surely be out of favour??

A good option though.

Totally agree, they'd have a shit fit by the look of it. I'd worry that the Norfolk arena would pebble dash the side of my car though. (presuming I did nt stuff into the nearest wall!)

Side? No, more like the front of it as you'd often be out there with another car at the same time and a lot of those boys drift there all the time. I hit a cone in Betty and it wrecked the indicator and wing, bumper trim etc but it was a right grin.

Best to avoid any sideways shenanigans if you're at all interested in protecting your paintwork mate. You would be entering a world of pain :thumbs: (unless you buy a load of spare panels?)
