Woohoo - My first 'proper' Drift session on Saturday !!!

[Ian.G]

Yesterday was the most fun I've had in a car in ages. And none of it involved travelling at over 40mph LOL.

The big thing I learnt yesterday was to RELAX. I think I am now a lot less frantic at the wheel which I think is making me smoother and makes the car less snappy too.

I have a long long way to go but I think it was a good start. The technique is completely different to grip style driving in the westi. Steering lock is a big difference in the hachi - in the westi its 1.5 turns lock to lock so you never really have to feed or slip the wheel through your hands when dealing with oversteer.

I think we were lucky yesterday - only 8 cars and three completely separate areas to play in gave us all a lot of time. I doubt I will ever see it this quiet again.

Cant wait for the next one.

Big thanks to Conedodgers/Graham(Easytrack). I even managed to pick up some prizes in the MacMillan raffle too which was nice
