What Can I Expect

Exclusive skid pan training at Tockwith Driving Centre near York! We are offering vouchers for up to three of you to share an hour in the car together, or have two hours of training all to yourself.

The skid control team is made up of highly experienced drivers who are ARDS or BARDS qualified. Most of them race or rally, so they know a thing or two about oversteer and understeer when going around corners!

You will be in a standard car, that’s to say something like a 3 series BMW, for these sessions. Hydraulic cradles are not used, you will be getting your skids on the very low-grip pan that has been specifically created by Tockwith Motor Sports.

The theory of skidding will be covered in the classroom, so you will be fully-armed with all the knowledge on front wheel skids, rear wheel skids, all wheel skids and things like spin, as well as the aforementioned phenomena of oversteer and understeer.

Now you’re out on the track, it’s time to find out what you can do. In our experience, it’s pretty easy to get the car skidding, but not quite so simple to get back under control. You’ll be grappling with a steering wheel that seems to have taken on a life of its own and these are manual cars, so you have to factor in trying not to stall too!

So whether you fancy getting a little group together to share a training session, or prefer to go private and have one to one time with the instructor, this Tockwith team near York is ready for your exclusive ski pan training!
