Need to do some work on this but was thinking with the amount of people killing our beasts maybe some opposite lock training would be good.

Im not saying im a drift king, but ive had 10 years experience in RWD cars the last 5 years above 300bhp, but ide love a day of practise!

I know drift academy used to do two prices one for using their MX5's and another for using your car.

I would reccomend using their car first, to be honest MX5's are alot harder to drift than a Monaro having a short wheel base. The Monaro is the easiest car i have had when it comes to back end out fun.

think it cost about £200 a go but bette than writing your car off!

I don't know about that. I'm confident until the car starts snaking and then i freeze. I'd love to be able to drift but the thought of it terrifies me.

Use their cars as well I think... if only because the rear tires on mine are so bloody expensive!

they are based all around London at 3 venues on or near the M25, or at santa pod

3 dates available per month Jan-February. They have dates 31st January, 11th February, 28th February, un booked at the moment

Would be £200 each and they have stated the following


"Yeah we are promoting driver control aswell, as ultimately, there quicker reactions from a drift will save them should they have a crash.

£150 for a half day
£300 for a full day

Normally we only take on 6 people a day, but if you where to get a booking of ten people we could bring this down hugely and make it into a mini coperate day. £200 for 10 people
Film it, all driver tuition by some of europes top drift drivers , and also tom with the vauxhall connection would be good.

Throw it a good few passenger rides etc.Show them advanced car control, lots of extra stuff we could do.Even bring a monaro for the day aswell.
And set that up properly with the aim to drift a monaro at the end of the day"

no for that price it would most likely be in their R32 GTST skyline looking at the website.

more than welcome to do it in your own car but them cones hurt the paint!

Well if you don't mind an old boy joining in I would love to do it. Just to say that if it is in the Nissan I used to time attack/sprint those for 4 years and they are ideal little weapons.
