so i'm guesing this is gonna happen in the car park? how much track time each?

is this the same as a cams event so needed is a day's cam's license and gear would be required such as adr helmet long sleeve's and closed footwear ?

We're running it on the circuit, you dont need a cams or assa license to participate in any of our days, you also dont need a helmet, or any special mods to your car.

This is not a full on drift day, and is not suited to experienced drifters.

well if u block, by putting a chunk of wood or something there, the release lever so it'll always release the hand brake when ur foot's off it shud work.

Sorry mate , we cant have spectators.

not sure on booking but can you show up and pay on the day?

Sorry you cant show up on the day, if you'd like to come you'll need to book

CRAZY

i am in for sure without a doubt thou more info would be nice

bit worried about sandown those barriers arent exactly soft

will there be a driver in the car with us beginners as too teach?

anyone can go sideways but control and carrying a corner is a different bunch of potatoes

i will wait to see if my car will still be up for it closer to the day before i book but im there....

Does your car have to be registered? I just booked, but my car is not registered, plan on trailering it there. It's all safe and fine, but thought I better check! Maybe should've checked before booking, but I got carried away haha :)

It needs to be registered or in registerable condition

..er I'm a little confused here, does this mean you're coming or ur not coming ????

Yep, it's registerable condition, no problem. The only changes since it was last registered are just that the interior is stripped out, and it has a roll cage.

Cool :)

Kev

that means as long as my car comes out of the mechanics this week with no dramas after changing my turbo over ill be coming for sure.

i rang up today bout it all apparently they split the track up into 3 sections where its safe to "drift"

should be an awsome day there is only 10 spots left too so be quick i am penciled in for the day and i can pay for it in the near future....

:) haha must be cause i sweet talked the sexy voiced girl on the phone

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
