BAsically we would make a big mess of the track and its not worth it for them!

well either that or 50% sensible. for a practice session i'd imagine that duffus wouldn't be used on the first session to get people's confidence up but there are a number of really good corners on knockhill which would be better than the tri-oval but not necessarily as difficult as duffus

Drifting duffus(seat curves ) + scotsman would be the only reason i would wanna drift on knockhill track as the tri-oval looks shit and other corners look ok but a bit tame.

i know that and i know you can do eeet ( in my best Waterboy accent ) but others just couldn't right now and it's more them i was thinking of. obviously if we had a regular session at KH then others could work up to that level

Hmm thats a shame as if knockhill allowed people to practice there it would certainly mean there would be a lot more scottish drifters and it would help promote the sport here.

Not at all dude. I'm under no illusions as to how difficult it looks to successfully drift that part of the track. Much more difficult than skidding around in carparks . It seems like the only place to further any high speed drifting skills as knockhill paddock basically sucks for any advanced technique practice and crail has a shitty surface and is slightly better than KH paddock for speed. We need to look at how things can move forward in scotland or we will always be lagging behind others in skill levels.
