    Drift matsuri tickets are out tomorrow and after going to watch for 2 years I want to go and drive, however -

    Although there are some mega serious pro guys there, is this a place for just normal type of drifter like me in a non caged car?

    I remember last year there was quite a few mx5s and a stock volvo 940 there that were having fun, it just seems like it's a super serious day and I'm not sure if it's a day that I'd be not welcome at without having 1 million bhp or 50k invested in the car. Just bit intimidating seeing Phil Morrison there last year doing 5th gear drifts, or all the idc lads doing monster manjis on the long straights?

    Just go and have fun. You'll find most of the bigger power cars on the west track? (fast track with banked corner) so you could focus on the other two.

    Not sure what you mean about tickets being on sale tomorrow though?

    Good luck getting driver tickets.

    Me and a few lads are booked as spectators - my first year so I am keen.

    As long as you can drive within your means and not spin on every corner you will be fine.

    The pro guys have no interest in trying to get on your door and the tracks are all very long so there's plenty of space for everyone to share.

    The backwards entry/practice track is also great fun to practice on.

    If your lucky enough to get a ticket you'll have a great time

    Matsuri tickets are not on sale tonight.

    Tonight is the reveal as to what date and time the tickets will become available.

    Tickets for Matsuri have notoriously sold out within a few minutes of going live do they make a big deal about it.
