Should have the steering sorted on the lexus for this and maybe, just maybe have more fun not fighting broken power steering.
Thanks, will try my best get back on track. Finding agood batch 145,40,18 tyres with meat on at an affordable cost is being a bitch.
If I were you, I would try and downgrade to 17" wheels as they are more popular than 18's. If you can live with the ground clearance and they fit around the brakes, it should be fine.
We will bring some 18's on the next day. I'll see if we can get your size above for you, If you like.
I have a full licence, I had my ID stolen and don't think the replacement would get here in time (still have the paper counterpart) Would I still be allowed to drive?
how much track time can be expected if its only one car on track at a time unless twinning and an unlimited amount of cars can attend? is the track a sprint layout or a circuit? cheers
The track changes each time we setup for the day. We normally have a twisty circuit layout, with a lane down the side to return to the start for another lap or to go back to the pits. Track time all depends upon how many people turn up, their skill level and how many wheels with tyres you bring. The surface is old concrete so it is quite rough, one person has gone through 20 tyres in one day. That is the record so far.
Also we now send between 4-8 cars on track depending on if they are twinning or not. I will update the info when I get home tonight.
Hi all, Unfortunately we cannot use the Tilstock Airfield for drifting any more due to complaints of noise and damage to the track. We are sorry for this inconvenience, but we will try to our best to revive Shropshire drifting at another venue.
