Yeah I'll most likely be going. Ive done the skid pan days at oran park, but that was more emergency stopping etc (which I must say was useful though), but this course is more hand brake turns, mild drifts etc

40 minutes or so. Maybe a little longer 'cos of all the school zones (unless you get there by 8.30) :)

There's a few spots left. $200 includes lunch and refreshments.

Should be fun. I've never done a skid pan day either so not sure what to expect. :)
