Michael robinson Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 has anyone tryed this and could tell me if it's value for money? http://www.driftone.co.uk/fasttrackcourse.html Quote
Ekona Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Just 28 laps for £350??!! Doesn't sound like very good value to me if I'm honest, you could get 2 x open pit trackdays for that and teach yourself within limits. Quote
Michael robinson Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 i thought it was abit pricey just wasnt sure as av never done track days before ( except one lambo day as a prezzie) and am looking in to trying my hand at drifting for something to do. is it that pricey because your using there car? or is there other places that will do that but cheeper?? thanks for your advice Quote
Ekona Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 To be fair to them the cost probably is increased because you're using their cars, but really I'd want to use mine anyway to learn something like that. Drifting's not really my scene if I'm honest, however there's gotta be a couple of guys on here that have done this kind of thing before I suspect. Quote
Michael robinson Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 thanks mate it wasnt my kind of scene till i bought the z then i thought i would like to try it and test the limits of the car and more importantly myself , obviously al start with a banger not the zed so i dont wreck it haha thanks for you help tho Quote
Ekona Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 If you want to test the limits of the car I'd highly recommend doing an airfield day in the Zed, there'll be almost zero things to hit and you'll be able to push in safety. Not really sure what's up your way in terms of airfields, possibly Elvington is the closest one I can think of but then I get a nosebleed if I go any higher than Birmingham Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 +1 on the airfield days well worth the money Quote
marzman Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 This is at oulton park on their drift track. You can do this for £140 for a full day in your own car with Club MSV (operates Oulton Park, Brands Hatch etc. I've done it myself many times before, and its well worth the money. Quote
Michael robinson Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 thanks i might give that a go sorry but this is going to sound dumb is club msv just another operator ( whitch use the course) ? was thinking of trying this first or getting afew lessions just so i can get the basics down and if i do balls it up its not in my car haha Quote

However Oulton Park sublet the drift track to Driftone, which is what you saw. Check out this site: http://www.clubmsv.com/car-home/drifting.aspx You will be totally fine in your car, and you get free instruction too. It doesnt touch your tyres as its a special drifting circuit with a high glass content, polished tarmac. Quote
