Skid Pan Training using Low Grip Tyres and Clean Water - Totally Unique!
Full Skid Pan Course Details
The Most Realistic Skid Pan Training You Can Buy!
On this course you will be driving a normal modern unmodified family car which is fitted with special low grip tyres on a clean water skid pan area. This technique which is unique to DriverSkills has been proved to be the most realistic and effective method of learning skid control skills.
 Choose from Front or Rear Wheel Drive Skid Cars
The skid control techniques for front and rear wheel drive cars are very different. When booking you will need to tell us what make and model of car normally drive so we can put you in the correct car on our skid pan (for 4WD cars choose front wheel drive as it's the same technique!)
Caterham RWD Option
If you are booking Rear Wheel Drive Skid Pan you might want to consider our Caterham Drift Course Please note that this option does not include ABS training.
Experienced Instructors
Its important that your skid pan instructor has the skills and experience needed to help you improve your skills. Your DriverSkills instructor will be a championship winning race or rally driver with lots of experience in training skid control skills.

The Skid Car That You Use Is Vital!
Most Skid Pan Providers use a car fitted with a skid frame. These systems do not allow the car to move on its suspension and handle in a normal way. The frame also increases the weight of the car dramatically. Therefore the techniques learnt using these skid frames cannot be applied to a normal road car! DriverSkills do not use skid frames or any vehicle modifications, we just fit our unique low grip tyres. This technique will allow you to experience real skids and learn the correct skills!
Anti Lock Brakes Utilisation
Also included are sessions driving on our simulated motorway area, here you will learn how to control the use of ABS (Anti Lock Brakes) for emergency swerve avoidance.

Skid Pan Session 5 - Skid Control Skills
Back on the skid pan again. On this session you will find everything much easier and more natural. Your instructor will encourage you to let the car slide more and even spin around!
