Does anyone know any good spots around basingstoke, just anywhere not bait where i can burn some tyres :) like an abandoned industrial estate or open tarmac out in the middle of knowhere?

Hopefully one of you people here can help me out:)

Much appreciated thanks in advance. :)
 
Yeah loads thats why we all pay for track time.

This country isnt big enough for old abandoned industrial estates miles away from anyone. Unless you maybe live out in the middle of nowhere up north. Basingstoke isnt that.
 
well the closest track is santapod which is 2 hours away from me, and im not travelling 2 hours just for a skid? this is why i was asking for anywhere closer i could go? :(
 
Santa Pod is 3.5 hours from me, Lydden about the same. Get used to it.

Keep it off the streets man, do it legally or not at all.

Man I'm driving 3 and a half hours to get to Lydden hill tomorrow and believe me "just for a skid" is worth it. People drive from the south coast of England to drift land in scotland. 2 hours to santa pod is not "hard done by".
 
Machams is fairly close to us I think.. there's also Birmingham wheels which is the same sorta thing (banger circuit) problem I have with pod is they're always on a Wednesday, and I struggle to get time off work! Once you've got over the 'burn some tyres' thing you can always book lydden, really nice track although a bit more expensive.
 
Matchams is cheap and close by - about 45 mins from pourtsmouth, but is also on every other weds night and its only 20 quid, but its a pot hole filled car park with cones out and is sketch as on the back courner. When i last went there 3 people snapped wishbones. if you have a missile and live close by its deffinetly worth it though.
 
its not that 2 hours is far cause id happliy drive that :p but its just what if somthing happened to my car i have no trailer... and breakdown only covers 50miles. Matchams sounds like a shout just for abit of fun!! thanks guys :p

No one I drift with up here uses trailers.. or break down cover, .. lots of people crash their cars, flip them, ditch them etc.. its what happens. You either deal with it and sort it, or you dont bother and plug in the xbox. :smokin:
 
Yeah, i drove to Lydden in Kent from Norwich, which was about 3 hours i think. Backed it into a tyre barrier on the back corner, bent it back, went back out, drove like fuck, then drove home. Then drove it in to work on the Monday haha. Its not driving for 'just a skid' its supposed to be your hobby/passion whatever you want to call it. Most people would probably kill to have something as local as that.

I mean i live 10 minutes from Snetterton as well, but ya know lol
