A skid driving experience is a driving session designed to teach drivers how to handle a vehicle in slippery or low-traction conditions, such as on wet or icy roads.
RED’s uniquely enjoyable skid experience teaches valuable driving skills in a risk-free environment. RED’s track surface is treated to replicate challenging road conditions in a safe, controlled environment, and we’re confident drivers will leave Donington Park a better, safer road user.
Following a short safety briefing, participants will venture to our skid area for the practical section of the skid experience. The students will understand what makes a car skid and experience the feeling of losing control of a car on ice and water. Most importantly, the driver will learn how to react quickly to get back in control.
All experiences are hosted at Donington Park, Castle Donington, Derby DE74 2RP

A skid driving experience is a driving session designed to teach drivers how to handle a vehicle in slippery or low-traction conditions, such as on wet or icy roads. This takes place on a specialised track called a “skid pan” – the surface is treated to replicate challenging road conditions in a safe, controlled environment.
This experience enhances driving confidence and safety skills, preparing participants to handle real-world emergencies. It’s both educational and fun, while also reducing the risk of accidents by improving control and reaction times.
Yes, our skid courses run throughout the year. It is a valuable skill that can be taught anytime, but may be most useful in the winter when it is snowing and icy.
Skid training will provide drivers with the skills necessary to quickly control a car in the event of a skid. Drivers will also be taught what the 4 most common causes of skidding are and how to prevent them.
The course is suitable for all types of drivers, and because it’s RED-owned, we’re also able to run the course for those who have yet to pass their driving test. But, if that’s the case, we insist that drivers are currently trained to a level where they are competent with car control, and this may need to be confirmed by a driving instructor.
Unfortunately, our skid experience is only available during the week. For more information on availability, please give our team a call on 0330 332 2680.
