Hey guys,

IDA have organised to a "Test" Drift Day at the new Marulan Driver Training Centre, 31 Jan 2009. This day is being used as a trial for suitability for future drift days.

Anyway, they have arrange for a few Drift Australia Drivers as well as some other experienced drivers to come and test out the Track. It looks like a very fun track and reminds me of some jap tracks.

Myself and Quakin will be heading up on Saturday morning to have a look. I timed the Drive from Marulan to Civic yesterday and it was exactly a 1 hour drive.

Here is some video of the track

Its tight and narrow, with the only safe place to overtake on a relatively short straight. If they don't move over for you, you can't get past without going off the track i.e. if they sit in the middle.

If you want a decent run without having to slow down for other cars, you have to back off and wait a while to make a gap, then get into it, as you will see Mark doing in the GTR in front of the car with the camera.

From Pete:

For anyone interested(from sydney) on cruising down with us, we will be meeting at Camden Valley Way McDonalds at 6:30 and departing at 6:45. It is located right near the M5 and M7 intersection for those who are unsure where it is.

From here we will be travelling down and stopping at the BP to top up on juice and then heading to the track which is only another 10 -15 minutes drive.

When we get there, not much will be happening for the first 1hr to 1-1/2 so if you want to sleep in a little and come later then you won't miss out on too much.

Please be aware that this is not a full tilt drift day, there will be stopages throughout the day for discussions with drivers and so on so don't be expecting too much. If you want to check out the track, then you are more then welcome to come.

It will more then likely start around the normal start time of 9-930am and finish around the 4:30 mark.

Here are the directions on how to get there.
