Drift Academy teams with PH for a very special day

---

Driftin'

Fancy trying your hand at drifting? Then come to the Pistonheads Drift Academy Day at a special PistonHeads price.

• What: Level 1 Drifting Course
• When: Thursday 8th December
• Where: Silverstone

The driving takes place in the ATC/Skidpan area on the infield of Silverstone circuit using Drift Academy Mazda MX-5s specially modified for drifting. At this venue we also allow you to bring your own car along to learn and practise. You must ensure that your car is suitable for drifting before booking a place.

This course is suitable for anyone who wants to learn advanced car control or drifting. You will be taught both the theory of drifting and practical aspects of controlling the car in small groups.

We only use wide open areas with nothing to hit apart from a stray cone. We only teach drifting in rear wheel drive cars fitted with a limited slip differential (LSD).

Friends and family are welcome to attend and you can book optional passenger rides if you want to treat them (or you!) An instructor will demonstrate high speed drifting in one of our competition drift cars.

I havent booked yet I still need to sort the dissy problem, but more importantly Im a little worried about cooling. My Tuscan doesnt run any fans so if there isnt much airflow it could overheat.

Whats the lenght of the sessions and do cars genreally run hot ?

cheers
