    Hi everyone, Im new ish to driftworks and the whole scene.
    Currently driving an e36 coupe "316" honest:D
    Im from north east (near sunderland) and always wanted to go and play somewer where there is no kerbs and no chance of the Partypoopers showing up with the blue flashy lights:(
    Any suggestions? Was considering track days but not sure where around here and how much it would cost me.

    Thanks :dw:

    Holla,

    Im mates with L.Pedro above and also live in Sunderland, sadly Teesside is no longer due to noise regs and closest drift day/legal skid place to go is Santa Pod or Crail raceway,

    Now i have heard of a couple of tracks being in negotiation stage up here in the Northeast but sadly aint heard nothing as of when they will be available, Im pretty much upto BDC-Pro spec in my sierra but dont have the cash to travel 4 hours to pod and skid for a day so awaiting of these so called venues up here :)...

    Welcome in mate, if you want any info about anything up here give me a shout and hopefully i can point you in a decent enough direction

    Corey

    Barkston Heath in Lincolnshire is probably closer to you than pod - ace place to learn. The events are excellently run by Javelin Track days
