Oulton Park drift and car control day Sept 26th

[StevePH]

It’s been a couple of months since Trackaction-Online last went drifting at Oulton so we felt the need for a bit more sideways playing!

We’re back on the drift courses again on Saturday Sept 26th and as usual, club discounts are available if you’d like to come along.

For anyone that hasn’t seen the two drift courses at Oulton, they look like this ”“





And this is what we do on them ”“




The surface is a special low friction tarmac that will give virtually zero tyre wear and is great for practicing drifting and car control and we always limit the numbers to ensure that everyone gets plenty of tracktime. Pretty well any rear wheel drive (and most sporty 4wd) car can drift on here and with the free instruction that we always have available on the day you can be sure that you’ll be drifting like a pro in no time!

Normal rate for the day is £140 but club 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.

Hope a few of you can make it.

[LeonNewton]

[stoneyV6]

Yep will pack the camera gear if i go.

[LeonNewton]

Good stuff. Don't know if I sead but the two vids you posted on hear wure good laps. The best bit was the door.

[alan1272]

i wouldn't mind a crack at this, are helmets required?

[LeonNewton]

yep but you can higher them at a reasonable price

[alan1272]

what's the format like? is it a whole day or just a morning/afternoon session?

[StevePH]

£120 gets you the whole day, we kick off at 9am, take an hour for lunch and then finish at 5pm so you get plenty of time on track .

[stoneyV6]

Good stuff. Don't know if I sead but the two vids you posted on hear wure good laps. The best bit was the door.

Have you done any trackdays yet leon ?????,, we are off to mallory which is a good fun and easy to learn track with a nice tight hairpin for putting the drifting to good use.

well worth a visit i reckon.

[LeonNewton]

I know it would be well worth it but it wuld be to mutch money. I Resantley started a new prodject and shuld not reley be coming to this one but I had my arm twisted.

There is a race meeting on that day so I think it will be about £10-15 for adults, usually free for kids but there will be plenty to watch as your lad will no doubt enjoy the racing as well.

[chrisroberts]

BMW kumho cup at oulton park on the 26th also, so good chance to see some pretty quick e30 m3's ragging it around the track aswell

[StevePH]

Quick bump for this one, still a few spaces left for this Saturday.........

[Card]

Yeah we are there that day racing should be a busy day two qualifying and two races in one day, there will 8 M3 E30 racing that day hopefully.

[StevePH]

No problem, I'll PM the details for both

The dec driftday will be £120 (club rate) and will be up in the shop in a few days.

[rix313]

Was watching the drifting guys from the Paddock looked like a good laugh!

[M3GTR]

It was good to meet you again Steve... I may even have a crack at drifting in the racer in December...assuming I've repaired the engine by then of course!

[StevePH]

That doesn't sound good . I gather the race didn't go as planned then?

[M3GTR]

Not really! I missed qualifying 1 because the engine wouldn't fire up (even though it was fine on and off the trailer), then when we changed the plugs for some others and it fired up, it did 4 laps and threw a piston ring....game over!

The really annoying thing is I qualified ahead of 3 or 4 other class A cars on the third lap whilst still bedding in my brakes!
