Steve H Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Car control and drifting at Oulton Park Saturday 25th July We’re off playing on the Oulton Park drift stages again, this time it’s on Saturday July 25th and of course all 350z members are invited along. This is a bit of what we get up to – This is a great fun event and a good way to learn how your car reacts when it runs out of grip. As an extra bonus, even after a full day drifting, the low friction surface on the drift stages at Oulton give virtually zero tyre wear! List price for this one is £140 for the day but we are doing the usual members rate of £120, extra drivers can sign in for £35 and passengers for a tenner. Free instruction is included so it's no problem if you haven't tried it before - if you'd like to come along please shout up on here and I'll PM you the booking details and a discount code .

mick43 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Steve - I want to have a go at this, but can't make 25th July. Do you have any other future dates scheduled ? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Next one will be on 26th September and will be posted up nearer the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Provided i can get my car sorted in time, i'll be doing this again... i need brakes and a service asap! When do you reckon i'll have to be booked onto it Steve, to make sure i get a place? Also, come on guys - i really recommend you do this. It doesn't seem to get much interest which is disappointing - it was seriously the best thing i've ever done, and it doesn't wear your tyres at all...! I did 70miles of drifting when i was there in April and was on track from 9am till 5pm - with barely 30seconds wait between laps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zednick666 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Sounds fantastic, definitely be up for it in September (i can't make 25th July either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi Chris I'd just say book as soon as you can, we sometimes have spaces still available in the final week but it can get booked up a few weeks in advance Good to see we are getting some interest in the Sept day already but anyone else for the July one?

If a few from the forum go ill come up, but the last two times I did it there was lots of hype on here about going then it just ended up with me and Greekman going It looks like you and Chris (Marzman) are up for it Darren and all being well Christos (Greekman) will be along some time soon to say he'll be coming as well. All we need now is a few newbies who want to have a proper play in their car and you've got a gathering! It's worth saying that the Z is such a great drift car on the Oulton stages that a local firm uses one as a training car on there and don't forget that unlike any other driftday, this event is not a tyre killer .

Every event we run must get about a dozen people who haven't done this before and turn up not entirely sure if it's a good idea but at the end of the day they are drifting like they've been doing it for years and they can't stop grinning . Hope your head is OK this morning! Steve H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
