When you spend a lot of your time working as a car presenter and TV host, it’s easy to forget what first drew you into the world of cars in the first place – pure excitement. My day at Drift Limits was the perfect reminder!

What is Drift Limits?

Drift Limits is one of the UK’s most exciting driving experience companies. Based just outside London, it gives you the chance to get behind the wheel of everything from supercars and track-ready machines to drift-tuned specials. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just looking to try something new, it’s a place where anyone can live out their motorsport dreams.

For me, as an automotive host, it was the ideal opportunity to step out of the studio and back into the driver’s seat.

Getting Ready for the Track

After signing in, I was kitted out with a race suit and helmet before heading into a safety briefing. The instructors at Drift Limits are brilliant – not only are they highly skilled drivers, but they know how to put you at ease if you’re new to performance driving.

The atmosphere is fun, welcoming, and charged with excitement. Whether it’s your first track day or your hundredth, you feel like part of a motorsport family.

The Experience

Sliding into the driver’s seat, I could feel my nerves turn into energy. My first laps were all about learning the track and understanding the car, but soon I was testing limits – drifting through corners, pushing acceleration, and enjoying every second.

For anyone who hasn’t tried it, drifting is very different from a supercar experience. It’s less about precision and more about balance, control, and keeping the car sideways at speed! It’s a skill that takes practice, but also one of the most thrilling sensations you can have behind the wheel.
