This day has been added after the huge success of the last day on the south circuit

[igor]

Is this drift only? Or is there a track session as well? As in grip racing. By the way 27 February is Sunday. So I guess you mean Saturday 26 February.

Three sessions of  20 minutes (one drift session and 2 track sessions)

Just to clarify - Is that only 60 minutes of track time for the whole day? And it must be 1 session drift, 2 track? I.E. Can you do 3 of track, or 3 of drift, or 2 drift, 1 track....

I doubt I will have my car by then, But I could be interested in the next one.

[fatz]

means every hour there is one session for drift and two sessions for track driving

9-5 so if there are no incidents= 8*20 inute sessions of your prefered style= 2 hours and 40 minutes of track time

You are put in one of the three groups (drift, track1 or track2).

Each session is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes you all go back in and the next group goes out.

The last one i think we all did 5 or 6 sessions at least?? The day is from 9-5. There is a small break for lunch which was filled with a passenger drift session. And at the start of the day is a driver briefing..

[eXc]

Cool.

So can you rotate between track and drift? Or do you select which you want to do and stick to it?

[fatz]

select which group you want to be in but at the end of the day if there is space in another group you can have a shot at the track stuff

[eXc]

cool. sounds good

So south circuit....is that the one they have the drift comps on (the one under the bridge) or is it the main faster circuit, where they cut of the cool corners around the bridge?

If it is the main circuit, how does drifitng go there? I havn't paid a huge amount of attention, but i', guessing u'd need to be doing some bloody fast drift to drift thos corners?

[fatz]

its the main circuit so it is a bit faster

we drift the first 4 corners then cool the cars down around the rest of the track

grab'd my interest.. but one thing i need to know is, and i've posted this up once b4. Can u drift using an auto/tipronic g/box?.. i'm interested in doin` the track but more liking to drift. If so would there be someone there to show me how to do so with the auto?.. Oh and another thing.. the car lags! Hits boost bout 4000rpm, is that a problem?

thanks
