This skid control centre near Epping in Essex has been instructing drivers for over 20 years.  Under their expert tuition you will have fun but most importantly will learn valuable skills that can save lives.

This two hour course starts with a short briefing, you will then move out onto the airfield site in one of the BMW or Ford skid cars.  You will share the vehicle with two other drivers, each spending around 40 minutes at the wheel rotating through a variety of simulated situations.  You will learn to identify the behaviour of the car and balance the steering, brakes and throttle in order to regain control.

As your skills and confidence increase you will soon be able to push the car through a course combining gates, curves and emergency braking areas whilst maintaining control.

Your experience ends with an overall assessment of your performance and presentation of certificate. IntotheBlue has over 800 gift suggestion ideas, please see our main gift ideas area for the perfect personalised gift. 

You and up to two other drivers will be in the car and each driver will get around 40 minutes behind the wheel. This venue uses cars in specially designed cradles to simulate different driving conditions.  Skid control experiences are available in other areas of the UK. Interestingly, you could always take a look here for an alter-ego approach to your driving and book one of our stunt driving activities for a day.

Courses run all year round on weekdays and Sundays and operate in nearly all weather conditions.
