i have seen people doing the drift day at outon park when i have been on track days thereits a seperate course on the right when you come in looks lots of fun and slippery ,i think they let you go one at a time and you TRY to drift your way around the course.....last time i went there was two young lads in an old bmw estate spinning around every five mins ,laughing there heads off it looked like they were having fun

It says its the BARC car champs on saturday @ Oulton and theres no timetable.

The drifting will be on the smaller track on the right as you go in. People just take whatever they want on there and they wet the track regularly. Always a load of BMW's on there!

just turn up sign on etc and away you go.

you can get free tuition if wanted.

i have done this a few times and it is good to get you used to your car etc....no one rushes you you just go around as slow or as fast as you can.

last time we were there me and JC got told we had to slow down for saftey reasons , Gareth Lloyd was in with us two all day and was pissing himself laughing at us going for it all day, Gareth even drove our two cars too with he loved.

go for it.

ello rigdy matey,looking on the link i posted from the mitsubishi lancer register it says...

Normal rate for the day is £140 but MLR members can come along for just £120, passengers are welcome to sign in for £10 and extra drivers for £35. Please shout up on this thread if you’d like to come and I’ll send you the booking details and discount code.

i reckon a cossie or a old m5 would be a good motor to drift with or go the 2.0 skyline turbo route.
or somthing very cheep you don't care about.

might pop down for a butchers anyway,its usually free to get in so its not exactly a dear old do unless you get in the cafe lol
