Price: £110  Contact: 0800 234 6034, www.racing-school.co.uk

You’ll never have as much fun in a Nissan Micra as this, as you learn the mysteries of J-turns, reverse 180s and gated 90s from a Hollywood-trained instructor. You get a briefing and 20 minutes in the car, so you’ll have time to also tackle the Drift Experience (£110). This teaches you to drive a Mazda MX-5 (right) in a tyre-smoking figure of eight.

It’s a day’s training with three others where you tackle a series of exercises in turn, showing you how to deal with front and rear end slides, left-foot braking and heel-and-toe gearchanging. If your car isn’t suitable, you can hire one for £250.
