Very entertaining afternoon
There were 3 instructors for 8 people on the experience and 2 cars. The instruction was excellent. There were very sensible safety considerations in place due to Covid. All in all a very enjoyable experience, I would thoroughly recommend it and happily go again myself.

Lots of sideways fun...
My girlfriend booked this experience so I cant comment on any of the process. I can however comment on the experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it!! Its like the fun part of go karting with much bigger and better vehicles!! The hosts were fantastic as well..small pointers to encourage you to get the best out of the day and they made it fun. I definitely want a little kit car now!

I had one of the best experiences so far in a car. The instructors were really good especially when they showed us how to do the track. And to end a perfect day I won the driver of the day.

Fantastic atmosphere!
Were should I start. Really cool people, friendly atmosphere, pure fun. Track large enough to not worry about hitting anything. Cars (Caterhams) are awesome! Loud, brutal, primal little beasts. Loads of fun, smoke and noise!

Great fun
Three of us did the drifting experience. Great fun and excellent instructors. You get to drive the Caterhams on your own which is always better than having an instructor sitting beside you.

Great fun
I had a really good time. A good session trying to get the hang of donuts and figures of eight. Then a good four laps on the big track (1m 20ish) trying to drift round bends, roundabouts and figures of eight). Caterhams were fun too.

Amazing few hours
Was a really good experience. You're not gonna come away being a drifting king but they do just let you get in the car and give it the beans. Really fun car to slide about. Would do it again

Exciting Drifting in a Caterham 7
It was very exciting and great fun but a little short. We started by signing on at 15:10 but it didn't actually start until 16:00 (30 mins late because signing on was a long way from the drifting centre). We actuallly on had approximately 7 to 8 minutes in the car itself so were probably just getting the hang of it by the time it was all over. However, the instructors were excellent and very helful. The were also very good and perfect for the task. I'd love to do a longer session.

Go mad in a Cateram
The Cateram Experience was great fun. It is quite difficult to get the car to drift and even more difficult to control, yet their demonstrator made it look so easy doing a perfect doughnut. So the concentration level is very high which makes it more tiring than you would imagine. The Silverstone staff were very helpful and encouraged us to achieve a reasonable standard. Excellent!

Soft Aston and Bruising Caterham
Did a double header first the Aston thrill and then drifting in the Caterham. I was looking forward to the Aston, but it came well below my expectations. Nice noise, but soft and I was not able to learn the track in the 3 laps we were given. On the other hand the Caterham experience was superb. Great lead instructor (Brian) who encouraged everyone to push as hard as possible. Eight runs in total getting the back end out. Superb. I look forward to going again.

Caterham Drift
The instructors where polite and the cars where great. The instruction was limited. The amount of actual driving time was limited. The driving experience was enjoyable but left me feeling a little shortchanged.

Did not meet the expectations
The instructions for registration weren't provided (to me) as all the rest have received it. Silverstone members were very surprised. Out of the drifting experience just under 50 min event, you get around 6 minutes of actual driving. Mentioned in the description about the test run with instructor prior driving that did not happen. It is an amazing experience to have fun with the car but it could be longer as it's a little upsetting almost not to drive.

Not the experience I was expecting.
Donāt get me wrong, I didnāt have a bad time during my experience, but drifting it was not. Consider the experience as Caterham Auto Testing and youāll probably have a good time. I was expecting a basic form of drifting tuition in a car with an instructor on a suitable course. What I experienced was a small coned ācircuitā run by polite, but mostly disinterested staff who watch you thrash a Caterham around a car park, alone. Iām glad they werenāt my tyres, but thatās about it.
