Be the Hero & Villain in a 'Cops and Robbers' Chase
The glamorous skills of stunt drivers in Hollywood action movies can very often leave you desperate to jump in the old motor and practice for yourself a few handbrake turns and reverse J-turns. Well, as well as being highly dangerous and extremely expensive (should it go wrong) it is very difficult to learn such amazing feats of car control. Well here it is, a lesson in how to maneuver a car in such unthinkable ways! With expert tuition at your side, you will learn how to execute perfect handbrake turns, reverse J-turns, sideways sliding and high speed chases! This really is the glamorous side of driving mixed into one great experience. This superb high adrenalin day will also give you the chance to be the hero and the villain in a high speed game of ‘Cops & Robbers’. Then, after you’ve irreversibly improved your driving skills it's time to see how the pros do it with a white knuckle passenger ride in a 300bhp rally car!

Agenda
Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will begin with a thorough safety briefing covering all aspects of high speed car control. After the meeting with your specialist instructors it’s time to learn some maneuvers! You will learn precision Handbrake turns, Reverse 180 degree flicks (J turns), accelerating hard in reverse gear and then spinning the car around 180 degrees whilst selecting forward gear and accelerating forward so that no momentum is lost. You'll be given lots of practice at the great Airfield Venue with expert and friendly tuition.
You'll also learn and practice the art of Power sliding a car, using throttle balance and opposite lock steering to control the slide. You'll experience and learn how to handle understeer and oversteer, which is great fun but could one day possibly save your life! Finally you'll finish with the grand finale - The Cops 'n' Robbers chase! You'll drive both the get away car being chased, and the Cop car doing the chasing, using your new found skills around our purpose built course.

Really nice bunch of people, who allowed everyone to have excellent fun. A lot of these activity days are three hours standing around and ten minutes over-safe 'enjoyment'. Not this one - brilliant atmosphere and worth every penny for excitement.

If you are not used to driving powerful cars at speed it's a bit daunting. I enjoyed the bits I could do but I wouldn't do it again. I'd do a skid pan or something. Petrol heads only.

As a small group of four we all had a fantastic afternoon in Bristol late October 09.
