who thinks it would be awesome if some of us got together and found/hired a skid pan

i remember Ian vids of him in the corsa having some fun in a slippery place

would be great i reckon, BUT dunno if any places let u hire the skid pan and do it in your own cars???

would also improve driving skills etc, wouldn't need a hi-spec corsa either

Found one in Northampton Don't know if you can do it in your own car tho!


Got an E-mail back

Hi Phil

Thank you for your enquiry on www.skidcontrolcentre.co.uk

We would be delighted to have your drivers attend our track for driver training.

With regard to your enquiry about driving your own vehicles. Obviously we normally use our vehicles with special tyres. The use of our own cars also means that everyone is covered by the appropriate insurances.

We would prefer for you to use our cars as you would get just as much benefit as using your own, without the risk of damage ot your vehicles.

However I can imagine that your club is particularily interested in driving your own vehicles. We would be prepared to let you use your cars on the condition that you put on special tyres, and you sign a legal disclaimer stating that we are not responsible for any damages caused.

Would your drivers be interested in some advaanced driver training? We could put on some special sessions for you, and this could definitely be in your own vehicles.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Stan Heggs

Skid Control Centre
