hey there guys, there are times where i just want to go crazy in my car but i dont want to do it on the road, just wondering if any of you guys know any places where you can just go anytime and do a lil drifting legally and safely. i wanna stay legal and improve my skills but just not on the roads where i could hurt myself and others and also damage my car.

Thanks

thats what the prastice night are for.. you learn :huh:

just to give you an idea on the price it cost

Cam L2NS $50 or if you want L2S its about $60 or $80 a year

WASCC $200 or so a year

Practise nights $50

Plus you got the cost of tyres and other random stuff.... but when you just start out a set of stockers will be for you :(

isnt there like lessons you can take or something??

umm not really...

maybe do some driver training days or some mc days or something like that maybe even some grip track days to get your general driving skill up...

drifting isn't that hard once you get a feel with ur car... just go out there smash the handbrake/brake/gas counter and hold....

try new things untill u find something that works for you :angry:

ALSO you will find that you can damage your car at the track too, got to watch urself they are a few walls and if u come off @ speeds u may hit them hard and do some big time damage

If your really keen do a practice night, first lap get a feel for the track & lines, second lap try & get a bit sideways in the corners, third lap & beyond go harder depending on how your going. Just don't try & make a 120kph sideways entry into cat corner first up...........

The driver training days at AHG are nothing like drifting. That is motor kahna style driving teaching braking and control techniques. If you have a nice instructor they might let you do something a bit crazy around the top corners. But you dont get the speed and length in the corners like you do in drift.

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
