Norfolk was fun last year. Its a real tight technical track which favours driving skill over engine power. The atmosphere was great there too, with really entertaining twin battles as naturally you are so close to the other driver anyway.

Track time should be good too, as the classes are split up over the two days, so instead of waiting in a queue of 50 total like last year, the semi's will only have a queue of 30 and pros of 40. We were also given 3-4 laps in one go so you got longer on track each time and so people weren't going on and off every 20 seconds.

And yeah, thats a vid of me. Tyre wear wasn't toooo bad, it just sounds bad in that video as I had a really crappy pair of part worns on at the time which just seemed to fall to bits. if you have a look on my youtube channel theres a decent out of car vid of me from the same day showing the layout. With a properly wank looking car.

Lol, I wish, definatly no power advantage here, small and tight but lots of fun, looking forward to using the bunny here as the BIG 34 was a nightmare last year, somehow got some grip and smashed a drivshaft ??.
Track time will be interesting as BDC has grown so much.
Thinking of running R888's on 17" rims to try and get some grip

Norfolk is like a roller disco for Datsuns, only with less STD's.

OH I love the atmosphere Norfolk creates, the crowd are SOO close its mint!

Yeah getting on and off track is a pain but there wasn't much moaning after last year with Lord Daz in charge.

Friday will be ALL DAY PRACTICE! Hopefully 8 hours of it! 4 hours per class!

Saturday - Normal service will be resumed but with added practice then the finals taking place into the evening/night.

Sunday - Triple drifting for the teams! The perfect track to get door handle to door handle! WOOP WOOP - So if you haven't got a team sorted you better get your finger out!

Polo - NO

Battling inside the purpose built oval will generate an electric atmosphere with enthusiastic crowds just metres from the action. This event will offer three days of drift action. Friday will see the track open to all competing drivers as a full day of practice, Saturday evening will see the BDC Teams battling it out in front of the always excitable audience. The Pro class will be given Sunday all to themselves to prove they are the King of the Arena.

Yeah sorry Andy, that info has changed. Saturday will be the normal BDC format but with a lot of extra practice.

i hope im gonna prefer it this year... with the 3 days.. and the team thingy..
but with peter barber no longer in the BDC.. I lack team mates!!


I thought the track sucked last year only cos of that 1st gear corner (after the sweeper) or it was for my s14 as it was soooo slippy it just wheel span on the spot or slid wide. It sucked. The dirt is there for years..

however, cant deny the atmosphere was the bollocks tho!!!! weather was great.. cheering on the pros on the stands.. Team green + Ant with our own stand .. was so cool. I had a great time overall.

Camping was funny as hell too!!!! Any one else remember the campsite owner??? those who were there (nightwalkers/TG and pals) should remember it well..
