Oulton Park - drifting

[911Thrasher]

Anyone has done the drifting course at Oulton park - seriously thinking of taking the RS there

[Steve H]

Great fun day out there but I wouldn't personally take such an expensive piece of metal as spinning is part of the learning process and damage is by no means unheard of.......................

Had great fun there with the Mustang,

But i have a feeling they have been puting some extra plastic borders so not as much grass is used

Beautiful Eduardo! Was it your first time drifting? Do you thinkitis suitable for a beginner?

Taken a while ago and it was very safe to spin off - not so sure now.

Yes was suitable , use the left track (easier to learn) , not much wear on the tyres too as very slippery.

Lived in Saudi Arabia for 9 years and that was my drifting school

The tarmac was so slippery that you could never keep any rear wheel drive going straight

PS (let me know if you go there, will pop to see you if i can)

Done a few days there and each time there seem to be more things to hit. However, if you build up your pace slowly then unlikely to hit anything. You need to learn which parts of the track are unforgiving and which are not. Some sections offer far less grip than others. Agree that the left hand track is the one to learn on even if the final curve has been removed.

It is brilliant fun though and very kind on tires and petrol compared to a track day. The only issue is if the day is busy then you can spend a lot of time queuing, especially if there are lots of spinners....

PD be prepared to clean your car afterwards as the mud gets everywhere

This is what i thought,

They didn't have the plastic borders when i did it.

The final curve was the best on the left track (photo of Mustang) , the widest part. What a shame.
