Default Drifting or skid pan experience

Anyone know where you can do this in the South East ?

I fancy it myself but also want to find somewhere for my son to have a go... he's only 11 but it'd be an excellent 12th birthday present.

Goodwood has a track but its tiny

(Gone are the days when you could practice on a beach like I used t with my Dad)

Any advice welcome

I liked wet roundabouts myself, but not till I was old enough to my own car.

Most circuits have some kind of skid training facility, either a pan or a cradle car, there's a full list of people and their contact details here (just click on he area and the details will come up).

Not sure many of them will allow a 12 year old though, minimum age for circuit driving is 14 with a race licence. Worth ringing around though.
