I booked through the Lotus & Club... think you have to be a member though... and needless to say the places went very quickly... I will try and find out which company are running it and let you know though 
I thought it quite cheap... as it is using their cars and their tyres

I'd love to get soem tuition to do this ..
Powersliding in the S is easy, but holding it is a different matter.
I've managed to hold slides twice .. both by pure luck. The other times I've usually ended up fishtailing up the road in a state of pure panic.

The drift can be easily controlled with your right foot and a slight turn on the wheel.
Anyone can drift and control it with v little practice.
I wouldn't advise trying for the first time on a public road, but if you do, make sure you know the road well, it must be fairly wide and be sure you know your limits on entry and exit speed (where applic.).
You don't have to be the stig - I'm only a novice!

) but the S2000 is very hard to hold a sustained Drift, we are not talking about a short 'Power Slide' but real sustained long drifts with direction changes.The AEM S2000 drift car had to have major suspension changes to make it drift, and that was with a Pro driver/drifter at the wheel..
"The team also ran into issues with the weight of the S2, which is really centered because of the engine position and fuel tank, both of which are positioned more toward the passenger cabin. "It's very twitchy," he continues, "especially when you're trying to get it sideways. It won't hang out, or if you want to make a transition from one direction to another, it wants to stop on center." With those concerns addressed, the team made the necessary changes to the suspension in order to "unbalance" the car and, at the same time, alter the Honda design to give Steph the most suitable drift S2000. Afterward, the team needed to prep the F20 motor for a much-needed power boost."

But I can't get the car to stay out and keep my direction right, and changing direction is a big problem.
But I'm willing to learn, but public roads are not the best places to pratice
