Drifting
The ability to take a vehicle from a straight line into controlled slide through a combination of corners or obstacles.
In competition the exercise is based on control and appearance and is one of the few forms of motor sport where time is of no importance. Smoothness of the vehicle control is paramount and jerky inputs to steering brakes and throttle should be avoided at all times.
A typical drift layout will comprise 2 or perhaps 3 corners comprising both Left and Right disciplines on a Tarmac surface.
We Teach:
Scandinavian Flick, one of the easiest means of getting the vehicle to enter a powerslide or drift, get it wrong and you spin out, get it right and the experience is fantastic.
Transition, a left or right hand drift followed by a smooth transition into the opposite hand drift. Accurate control and balance of the vehicle is essential in this manoeuvre and will not usually be progressed until the Scandinavian Flick is right
Feint Drift; going through a slalom using lift off oversteer to balance the slide and minimise turning effort. Explores the limits of your driving precision and throttle balance, sorts out those who can drive from those who think they can.
Hand Brake turn, (E- Brake). The final element in the skill base. Proficiency must be demonstrated before this manoeuvre is attempted.
How we teach:
We do not believe that you need a 300 bhp super car; it takes very little skill to get the rear wheels to light up. We employ the RST, see brochure, a mid engined rear wheel drive 120 bhp per tonne package, left hand drive vehicle which will test your skills in the extreme. Power is nothing without control. We get you to complete the circuit then we analyse your performance before we try it again, this way we stop you making the same mistake repeatedly. We repeat this procedure as many times as possible within your allotted time.
Where we teach;
To help you achieve results quicker we use a loose surface, control the car in this environment and you can control a car anywhere, but things happen at a slower speed allowing you to react more easily to the instruction being given.
What we expect from you;
To take Instruction and follow the simple rules explained at the briefing to ensure a safe and incident free session. Do not hover the clutch pedal, we do not encourage clutch dumping as used by professional drift drivers. It is expensive and un necessary and repeated use of this may result in your experience being stopped.
