    Hey all,
    Got a skid car and have done a lot of Googling, but it seems the only places near me are Arena Essex and Pod, the former being nearly an hour away and the latter being about two. Is there nowhere closer to me that you chaps know of? I'm happy to drive if I have to but it'd be good to know of some smooth tarmac a bit more local.

    Ta,
    Chris.

    1 hour is local. 2 hours is normal. Thank yourself lucky you dont need to drive 12 hour round trip to get to Teesside. :smash: :smokin:

    That's so close to stuff. 2 hours to anywhere for me. You need to travel dude to get the most out of it, this year I've done Scotland, Wales and Birmingham. Plus Lydden's only down the road from you too. 2 hours is standard travel dude.

    Ring the council, tell them their being out of order by not providing you a nearer drift track and theyll build you one closer i bet.

    I live just down the road from you and to be honest i dont think its to bad where we are. 40 minutes to arena on a good day, norfolk and pod are easy enough to get to, Also lydden aint to terrible!

    Hey chaps,
    Cheers for the replies, I thought this would be the case. Like I said if they're the closest ones then I'll have to do it, I'm sure it'll be worth it. Glad I got a comfy old Soarer now :-) Just gotta work out where to out the spare wheels....
