Advanced Skidpan Training

Great for gift ideas, group celebrations and social groups!

Here is a link to a video of our Skidpan Days

These half or full day Skidpan-Drift sessions are a great opportunity for individuals and groups that have the passion to play to GET THE PERFORMANCE EDGE, but who realise the public streets are not the place to do it.

Pricing for these Advanced Skidpan Sessions

• $195 per person. Participants may share a car, however it is $195 per person to book a place on the day.
• Group Bookings are $1650  half day, $ 3200 full day (Plus BOND - see below for details)

The Skidpan can be utilised for safety based 'anti-skid' training as in our Defensive Driving Courses, as well as performance based 'drift/car control' training. The theory is the same, but the application varies and outcomes are very different. It is entirely your choice which approach you choose, Fifth Gear Motoring is happy to support you either way and both styles can be supported within a public skid pan session.

About the Skidpan

The skidpan we utilise is located at the Sutton Road Driver Training Complex, located between Canberra International Airport and Queanbeyan, approximately 15 minutes from the centre of Canberra, 2 ½ hours from Sydney, and easily accessible from the Federal Highway.

The skidpan is a kidney shaped purpose built circuit. The surface is smooth concrete which, when wet, becomes very slippery. The skidpan will not damage your car. The surface provides very little traction, meaning it won't wear your tyres. The area is surrounded by high grip concrete, meaning you won't come off the circuit. Fifth Gear Motoring only allows two vehicles on the circuit at any one time, meaning you have plenty of room and little chance of colliding.
