Beginner's Training Day - Mon 17th November, Same As Before :)


Recommended Posts

We are back with another beginner's training night. After the success and great feedback from the first training night, we have decided to hold another as requested by many people. This will be open to complete beginner's for their first on track experience, through to slightly experienced/been to archy a few times but wants to advance their skills. We are organising a drift day that will have a maximum of 16 drivers which will be supervised by 8 'pro level' instructors.

Instructors:

Josh Newson

Sam Holz

Dan Jorgensen

We will be running the track simular to last time, starting with a walk around the track to highlight points that should be made aware of and the corners etc, followed by donut spots and figure 8s to get a handle on the throttle control. Once the drivers feel they are ready they will move up into practicing the corners (except turn 1 as donuts will still be taking place there until later in the evening). By the end of the night, the drivers are encouraged to attempt linking the corners with a continuous drift with the assistance of some helpful advice and pointers from our instructors.

Most of the instructors will also be bringing their own cars out on track to give you the opportunity to jump in with them and see what they do (eg. when they use handbrake, clutch kick, entries and exits to the turns, etc.) As every instructor will be taking care of only two drivers throughout the day, they will be able to monitor your progress and note areas that need improving.

It will be held on Monday 17th November from 5-8pm. We are now able to start taking pre-entries. First 16 payments received will have guaranteed positions on the night.

Cost will be $100 per driver which will cover the cost of 2 pit crew. No other spectators will be allowed entry as it is a beginner's day and the focus is on the driving not the crowds.

This will be a great day that shouldn't be missed by anyone that is wanting to get into drifting with a head start above the rest. You can pre-enter on the online form at the top of this page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself on [email protected].

** ANY DRIVERS WISHING TO BE INSTRUCTORS OR HELP OUT ON THE NIGHT PLEASE PM ME**

Please note this evening has been postponed due to the weather - there would be parts of the track under water which doesnt make for a good time to learn. We will keep you posted with the new date asap!!! Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hey guys,

We now have a new date - Monday 8th December. Everything will remain the same as described on the first page except for the date change. We still have around 5 (maybe less) places available - this is the perfect opportunity for anyone who has been putting off getting into drifting to finally take the leap and get out on track!! Also great for drivers who have had some experience but want to sharpen their skills. For any information or questions you may have, feel free to PM me or email me at [email protected].

Please note pre-payment is essential! If you have any troubles arranging this, please speak to me PRIOR to the date. Thanks.
