Getting Into Drifting

[rSrkt_]

Hey, i used to race motocross for 5 or so years, and know that getting into a motorsport usually is expensive.

Im not racing anymore and am looking at buying a R31 and doing it up into a drift car, but i have a few questions before i start.

I just turned 17, do i need to be 18 to drive on a track?

Do i need to have a licence to goto practice days?

If so how much does a licence cost?

and is there anything else i need to know?

cheers

1. I just turned 17, do i need to be 18 to drive on a track?

2. Do i need to have a licence to goto practice days?

3. If so how much does a licence cost?

4. and is there anything else i need to know?

1. no. 16 and over is usually fine. a road licence is 'sometimes' required but you should generally be ok without, especially if you have a cams licence.

2. No. you will for events though. most competetive drift events in aus have been run under L2NS licence, but I believe that is changing to L2S or even NC.

3. check the costs at www.cams.com.au

4. yes, heaps of things. best to talk to a drift oriented club like initial drift, or nissan silvia or similar.

enjoy.
