Handling Challenge
The tight handling circuit is designed to test your driving skills not just your cars power. So if you've got a Micra or a Starlet and are afraid of the big-boys on the dragstrip then show 'em your heels on the handling circuit! Power counts for nothing here, so work your steering wheel into a blur and tug on your handbrake around the tight corners.
The best news is it's completely FREE to enter and there is a cool trophy up for grabs. All you need to do is show your driving licence and fill in the sign-on form.
