    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 Steve @ MINT TYRES

    Can my mates come out for passenger rides ?
    Yup - they must wear a seat belt and be signed on which is free for passengers

    How much does it cost ?
    It costs £80 per driver

    Can I pay on the day ?
    No.

    Is it fully booked yet ?
    Click here >> Santa Pod Ticket Shop if "Drift Voucher" is not listed is has sold out

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

    Doh it has sold out can I add my name to the reserve list please ?
    No. There is no reserve list.

    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

    DWYBs keep selling out weeks in advance why don't Pod put on more dates ?
    The number of noisy days has been agreed with the local council

    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 !!
    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 it is not vital for you to come along and have FUN

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