My Day at Drift School, being Taught by the Pro's

Post by GeordieBoy »

It was done at Teeside Autodrome on Sat 26th Jan.

It was there 1st ever Drift School, so things didn't go to plan. Cars were unprepaired. But it was a good day being taught by the pro's.

The 200sx I was driving footbrake didn't work, had to stamp on it to vaguely slow ya down, so had to use handbrake to slow down and stop.

We been promised as it was the 1st 1 they had done, and cos it wasn't as expected we can do it again for half price when they get some cars and properly prepair them.

A Video of me just about getting the hang of some cone work:-

The car you were driving in that vid is a S13 180SX! Looked like a good day out and some top pics there! It's a sport which has MASSSSIVELY taken off here but the thing is that you get plenty of bellends taking it onto public roads... :evil:

How much does a R32 GTST Manual go for in old blighty?
