Free tuition is available from any of the DWYB marshalls who are happy to give some pointers - many of the fresh starters who have attended so far have been able to link the whole track by the end of the day

1 x Large Main DWYB Track

2 x 'Kidney' DWYB Demo Tracks

2 x Newbie play pens for fig 8s, donut etc

There is also the flexibility to change the track layouts during the day to cater to what people need

This vid give a good idea of how the Large Main DWYB Track can be laid out

will be open from 10am til 3pm

FAQs

How many tyres do i need ?

Lots - rule of thumb is as many as you can fit in car as there is nothing worse than being at drift day with a working car, empty track and no tyres

Help it has sold out - what do i do ?

We hold back 10 tickets at every event as people often dont turn up. Advance tickets are £60 - Pay on day £65

Do i need a welded diff / Fancy JDM 2-way ?

a diff that locks both wheels will help - however its not vital for you to come along and have FUN

Do I need lots of power/ Stage6.9chip/ SuperDuperHybridTurbo/ 2JZ

Nope.

As I was the tog that took that pic....

I can vouch that it was fricking pissing down. All. Day.

But that did NOT stop the fun, everyone had a great day!!! Non stop skidding from just after the drivers briefing until close of play. No breaks, no lunch, i was on track almost all day taking pics (only stopped for cigs, dry my cam off oh and a beef n onion slice).

In short, get in there, it's well worth the money!

Lex - The invoice is in the post for that plug....

shane · 11-07-2008, 22:05

Should be booking this up on Monday (work permitting). I'll have to come up to the top track this time to get in front of the camera, my S13 seems to have some kind of stealth mode when it comes to pictures

spin-king · 11-07-2008, 22:14

Cant make this one as i am getting married and need the money (would rather drift but dont tell the misses)
