Hey guys,
another great day had drifting - kind of!
I was a bit of a mess from the previous night, having had 2 hours sleep so i wasnt in the best of moods I went and had an hours sleep in my car on the carpark...! S1HNK came and woke me up by knocking on my window.
The RX7 took some serious getting used to - i dont think i did a full lap where i didnt spin it . I dont know if it was the welded diff, the wet track, or my state which caused that! Probably all 3. The difficulty was that it would only unstick the wheels in 1st, but then you needed to change to 2nd mid-drift, and that would give you a power boost that would just chuck you off track!
Still, my mate tom was the best - before his first lap on the small track, he was telling me he was nervous - and then proceeded to drive straight into a barrier/tyre wall and get stuck there - 10 seconds into his debut, and then couldnt get the car to restart! Funny as hell.
Thanks to Darren, Martin, and S2k Nut for the passenger laps... i enjoyed them more than driving the rex! Its great to see everyone's different styles too -
Darren - you make it look so easy with your laid back style... very lethargic, but properly sideways on all corners, and great linking.
Martin - what can i say, you are just mental!! I dont see anyone else there driving like you do - its ace.
We got lots of in-car vids, so im sorting through them this week, and will post some after a bit of editing!
