wont be getting me drifting anywhere near barriers that close to the side of a circuit, plus did they wet the track or was it because it rained as it looked to wet to be controllable?
i bet the ring piece twitched a bit at the spin at the end LOL

they wet it regularly it's slippy anyway though barriers are no where near on the other track i didn't drift through the barriers though not worth the risk was a fun day though gave me alot of confidence in the car since i'v only had it 2 weeks, looking forward to doing another, the spins aren't scarey you don't tend to go far that was the only time i spun off the track the rest i just span and stopped facing the wrong way it'd be difficult to do any serious damage there apart from the barrier bit of course

Looks like a lot of fun! Looks like you love the rev limiter in first haha!
Was that the special greasy surface they do with water and diesel? Really hard to put power down on it, in any shape or form?
Oh and what exhaust is that? Sounds sweet! Is that decatted as well?

You need to get second gear for the first left hander as the motion will transition you nicely.
More than that, you have the option to shift lock should you need it (I was using it at the hairpin before the barriers)

Little Tip.. Easy on the throttle, if you stab at it you have to steer like mad to try and keep it, if you ease it on slower it makes it ten times more managable.
Im not claiming to be a drift god or anything but i did a drift day at oulton a while back went round for a couple hours, really got the hang of it then had one of the instructors come out with me and told me exactly what ive just told you. it was like learning again from scratch but what a difference it made.
One from my day
