Stutopia Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 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.

CAT@CAT Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Afternoon Gents - hope you're all well. Very sorry I had to leave early and not see you all at end of day - my 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?

Stutopia Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Well I had a great day as well 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 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 I will be back for more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track days we'll need to wait for the organisers to release their calendars - usually December time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious apologies Paul667 for the delay in coming back to you - I'm out of hibernation now 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.
