Thanks guy's and girl's.:blush: Looking like the rally one but the drifting at the pod would be good fun! Rally's at sliverstone. Which one would you say would make me a better driver? Car control etc? Thanks Nick.

I have done the passenger drift taxi at santapod which I thought was wicked until I done a few laps as a passenger at Brands Hatch in an F1 sidecar:twisted: so maybe the lambo could be good for the speed freak aspect :ninja:

Happy birthday, Spurs new home shirt in the post for you :razz:

Worth checking on the lambo. I did a ferrari day which was 5 laps unrestricted at Prestwick Hall in Leicester (albeit with the instructor next to me) and to offer a 'quiet' word when you make the car twitch!

However, did a BMW/formula ford day at Brands Hatch and you were restricted on RPM/Speed as it was more of a coaching day about driving lines etc...Wasn't exactly a thrill a minute and in a 320 BMW which isnt quick at the best of times and being asked to drive it in a 'controlled' fashion ws a bit dull!

I wasnt allowed to do my second set of 10 laps in the formula ford for continually driving above recommended speed and RPMs :( This was because I was so frustrated after the BMW I couldn't resist maxing the formula ford!

Also pay the insurance waiver, which is about 35 quid otherwise if you smash it the disclaimer you sign says you have to pay for the repairs!! (unlikley in the dry though you'd go off track)

Haven't done a rally day yet but that would be next for me

Happy birthday nick :)

If the drift was anywhere else apart from pod I would say do it but it all seems to slow and such a small circuit :) so unless a better location is available then I'd go for the rally :)
