Is there anywhere you can go to learn car control/drifting?

So the snow made me realise I dont actually know what the fuck to do when it all goes tits up and you do a 360 lol.

Would love to learn how to control the rear end for some nice power slides on track days...

Anyone got any ideas?

i personaly think you can only learn from your mistakes. Loosing it in the snow is one thing but loosing it in the damp / dry conditions in a 350 saph is another story especialy when your gunning it

Don't know where you are in the country, but this would probably be your best bet:
