i dont know how many of you are into or have tried drifting but i am very intrested in doing a drift day or school type thing to learn more about it!
i can drift so to speak ie i can hold a drift round a roundabout with the nose pointing at the round about but i want to be taught the rights and wrongs!

has anyone done or know off anywhere you can do this?

I take it youve got a welded diff then, or a LSD as my silvia wont hold a drift due to the open diff trying to straighten me out.

The entry for the fist corner is pretty darn fast, however you could skip that one and from there on in they are not so quick.

There isnt much room to the rather tough looking earth banks at the side mind if you get is badly wrong. Makes for a great spectator track as you can be sprayed by bits of rubber as the cars go past

although it is cold as hell!
