Steve H Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 It’s been a couple of months since Trackaction-Online last went drifting at Oulton so we felt the need for a bit more sideways playing! We’re back on the drift courses again on Saturday Sept 26th and as usual, club discounts are available if you’d like to come along. For anyone that hasn’t seen the two drift courses at Oulton, they look like this – And this is what we do on them – The surface is a special low friction tarmac that will give virtually zero tyre wear and is great for practicing drifting and car control and we always limit the numbers to ensure that everyone gets plenty of tracktime. Pretty well any rear wheel drive (and most sporty 4wd) car can drift on here and with the free instruction that we always have available on the day you can be sure that you’ll be drifting like a pro in no time! Normal rate for the day is £140 but club members can come along for just £120, passengers are welcome to sign in for £10 and extra drivers for £35. Please shout up on this thread if you’d like to come and I’ll send you the booking details and discount code. Hope a few of you can make it.

JamieP Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Is there any DB limits and how much track time will you get in a day? is it one car a time on track or open pit lane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi Jamie The noise limit is 105 db static, same as for a trackday, we release a car roughly every 20 seconds on each course so most drivers get over 100 runs during the day so plenty of tracktime Steve H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Always wanted to have a go at this, but didn't want to learn on pubilc roads! So 2 things here Steve... I know an LSD is recomended, but is it required? I have an NA with no LSD so just wondering how easy it will be to get the hang of? Also, I know you say low friction so virtually no tyre wear, but how quick will I go through a set of rears? And is there faciltites to change tyres on-site? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 You won't need to change tyres, typical max is 1mm wear over the day. I know it sounds too good to be true but that's how it works! LSD is obviously better as it makes it easier to sustain a slide but you will be getting the tail out either way and getting plenty of practice.

Mcgoo Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Like the sound of this, just hope I'm not working. Is the noise limit strictly enforced? If so, at what revs and distance is the test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Gutted... I have been waiting for something like this, but I won't be out of plaster before the 26th. Are there plans for any other dates before the end of the year?? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 The noise testing is done at 3/4 revs static from 1m at a 45degree angle. If tested they are strict but so far we have never had cars noise tested for a drift event. We will probably be running another one towards the end of the year details to be psted when we have them.
