    Car control and driftday at Oulton Dec 19th

    We are off to Oulton Park again on the Saturday before xmas for another driftday.

    For those that have not done this before, it’s the perfect way to learn how to drift your RWD or 4WD car and see how it handles and reacts in a slide. The low grip surface is very kind on tyres causing almost zero wear even after a full day of driving sideways! No problem if you are a complete novice, it’s a fun day out and a great way to practice your oversteer skills.

    Same format as usual, full access to both drift stages and free instruction available all day to make sure you get the feel for it, you can even get one of our annoyingly talented instructors to drive you round to see what your car can do!

    The discounted club rate is £120 for the day (£140 list price), passengers are a tenner and extra drivers £35.







    So if you are looking for the perfect way to get out of the shopping on the last Saturday before xmas or if you want to ask SWMBO for something better than a pair of socks as a present this year then shout up and we’ll get you booked in!

    Hope a few of you can make it along.

    Do you do this day at any tracks in the south? Looks great fun, but not sure my car would make it back after a day of abuse! (oh yee of little faith ;>)

    The course at Oulton is pretty much unique as far as we know so we only run the driftdays from there.

    There are plenty of other drift venues but they are all on concrete or conventional tarmac and so require frequent tyre changes and a more specific type of car.

    All you need is AA membership and you'll be fine
