The 4th event this year up here in the Peak District. This event is at Buxton raceway, about 3 miles from Buxton town at SK17 0RR. The ODC competition is on Sunday afternoon but more and more people are spending the weekend here, it's a great atmosphere and great fun. The timetable will be something like this: Saturday. Drift practice from 12 noon. If there are enough entries we will run a 'just for fun' Team drift event late on (5 ish). We did this the time before last and it went well and I'm keen to repeat it. I'll remind you to have a think about who to team up with in the briefing, last time we had 4 teams of 3 enter. Don't worry if you're coming on your own and want to enter, you'll soon make some friends here. If there are still people wanting to drift we'll stay open til 7. Practice sessions are tailored to drivers ability. If you are new and want to go out alone that's fine, let us know. If you're with a mate and want to practice twinning then queue up together and let the gate men know. You'll see the regular guys going out in huge trains, I've seen 12 or more, quite something. Saturday night. Bar open until late. Mayhem and daft games all night. Camping free. There are good clean toilet facilities for a wash in the morning but no showers or hot water. Sunday. Circuit opens at 12 for practice. Then at 3 we start the third Buxton ODC round of the year. This will be on a different track layout to whatever practice track we've had and is open to everyone as it is also the qualifying for the Twin Drift Battle afterwards. Obviously only ODC competitors will get the ODC points. The format will be changed a bit to speed things up in order to have a decent practice session afterwards. There's a burger van on site and a bar open. Anyone thought to be drinking and drifting will be breathylised. (Never had to do it yet!) £10 to get in for every adult. £10 to put your car on track (per day), and £10 to be a passenger. Kids get in free. Passenger rides available. These events get better and better, there's a great atmosphere and we're very newcomer friendly, you needn't worry about turning up on your own and not knowing anyone. Pleas read the timetable above and understand what you are coming to. Also the competition is open to EVERYONE so don't worry about your level of ability, you're welcome to have a go. PLEASE CAN WE KEEP THE GRASS FOR CAMPERS NOT PARKING! See you there!
For the competition on Sunday, as John said it will be open to all drivers on the day but the ODC drivers will be scored afterwards in the order that they come respective to eachother. So if a none-ODC driver comes first, and an ODC driver comes second, their ODC score will be as if they came first. The competition will consist of a sighting lap and a solo qualifying run scored out of 100, with a spin knocking 30 points off your score (rather than being a 0 point run as normal), so if you spin on your solo run you still get judged on the rest of your run. This score then ranks you against the other drivers, and the top 16 WILL go through to twinning until we find a winner! This should shorten the competition but keep as much twinning action as possible. We are hosting the disclaimer form online so you can print it at home, complete it and bring it with you to the event. If you want to drift on both days then turn up Saturday with your completed disclaimer and £20, you will be given a wristband for each day's drifting which means you don't have to sign on again on Sunday. We'll post the link up here when it's been hosted.
