Group Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling - Saturday 7th October 2017


CAT@CAT

Recommended Posts

Learn the secrets of over limit handling using your car and our Caterham 7.

 

A 5.5 hour experience for 4 owners covering the building blocks of vehicle control at grip limit.

 

A fast moving sideways experience. Designed to build on the skills learnt on the Performance and Cornering Masterclass club days or as an introduction to the techniques of over grip limit driving for the novice, our instructors will tailor the training to your level of experience.

 

Understand and practice the building blocks of over grip limit driving. It is not just nailing the accelerator and relying on instinct. A drift is the culmination of many core skills polarized into one extreme exercise. All explained and demonstrated by your instructor and practiced by you.

 

Enjoy the challenge of our very sideways Caterham, and experience the dynamic characteristics and capability of your own car as it realises its true potential at grip limit. Invaluable information for those owners wanting to maximise its potential and enjoyment of their car on track.

 

Your training session will include presentations on:

  • Understeer
  • Oversteer
  • Lift Off Oversteer
  • Roll Oversteer
  • Weight Transfer at Turn In
  • Tyre Grip Trade Off
  • Identifying Grip Limit
  • Breaking Traction

 

Your training will include an experience of a wetted as well as a dry surface on the Steering Pad at the Millbrook Proving Ground.

 

There will also be a bottle of Champagne for the best Drifting God on the day.

I am really looking forward to this, I secretly did the Cornering Masterclass with the BRZ/GT86 boys this weekend and it was BRILLIANT, so many new things to learn, I just hope I've got the hang of some of it by the time the drift date comes around.

Afternoon Gents - hope you're all well.  Very sorry I had to leave early and not see you all at end of day - my :headhurt:cough & sore throat got the better of me.  Paul tells me you had a great afternoon & that congratulations are due to:

 

Wasso x Drifting God

Beb x Driver of the Day

 

Are you still grinning from your slideways action? :D

I am fairly confident that I can say we had a superb day, mainly a day of spinning, cone battering, with an occasional drift in there too. Certainly no shortage of fun. I’m also a bit more respectful of the skills of the regular drifters, particularly anyone who can do it in a clockwise direction!

Well I had a great day as well :thumbs:

 

I now have a new "Point of interest" on my Sat Nav - its a cone on the skid pan - I spent so long staring at it and sliding past it we thought it only fair it get it's own entry :lol:

 

Learnt a lot had a great day with great instruction and some like minded petrol heads to share it with. We were all brilliant at any given challenge when watching from the sidelines :lol:

 

I  will be back for more :thumbs:

Great to hear Stu .... it doesn't feel right with no date in the diary to see you again ;)

 

I’d very much like to try and get something set up for us with you next year for more tuition days and possibly at a trackday too :)

We can talk about 2018 dates as early as you like ... now we have the Dynamic Pad we can plan all the different variant of club days (Performance Driver 'Track' Day, Cornering Masterclass, Group Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling & Group Optimisation) with diary certainty.  Track days we'll need to wait for the organisers to release their calendars - usually December time.

Hi

back to the over limit course, are these run all year round? 

Serious apologies Paul667 for the delay in coming back to you - I'm out of hibernation nowB) and can confirm that yes the Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling Course runs all year round.  

 

I'll be getting the 2018 group training day calendar finalised over the next two weeks.  If you would like to have options for the forum this year let me know.
