    Frequently Asked Questions


    Please read these before posting a question that is answered below



    How many tyres do i need ?
    Lots - rule of thumb as many as you can fit in car. There is nothing worse than being at drift day with a working car, empty track and no tyres

    Where can i get tyres from ? Rent spare rims ?
    Contact the chaps @ MINT TYRES.COM

    Where can i get pics of from ?
    Contact Ian @ Blackett Photography

    Can my mates come out for passenger rides ?
    Yup

    How much does it cost ?
    It costs £60 per driver

    Can i pay on the day ?
    No.

    Is it fully booked yet ?
    Once full i will post up 'Fully booked '

    Help it has sold out - what do i do ?
    Book for the next one

    Help I have bought a print at home E ticket online and dont know what to/dont have a printer
    Print your ticket at home. If you do not have a printer you can go in to the office to the right of the main gate to get it printed out.

    Help i have booked but my ticket has not arrived ?
    If your ticket does not arrive in post in time just collect one from main office before you drive up to track

    Help my car has died / i got arrested / my GF is expecting / i crashed so i cannot make it - what should i do ?
    Phone the pod booking office to arrange to get a credit for a future DWYB

    What will the weather be like ?
    Check - Weather Forecast

    What happens if it rains ?
    DWYB will run regardless - you will use less tyres and more petrol

    I want to have a go at the EDC 08 track but not sure about it ? HELP!!!
    Just ask one of the marshals who will hold back the queue and let you out for a few laps at your own pace

    My car is ridiculously noisy what happens if i get told it is too loud to drift ?
    You will be given a credit for another day

    I cannot be bothered to read the 1st post so i'm going to ask a question that has been covered in the 1st post. I need the post count !!
    Please do not be shocked if you are teased as a result. Its all about the seat time , not the post count !1!11!!1

    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.

    2 Volvo 940s booked :) passengers are welcome in mine after I have had a couple of warm up sessions! I thought MX-5s were banned form the September one due to monopolisation of the August one??? ;)
