Driver Dynamics Sandown Drift Day

[Dean_HR31]

Hey guys, im attending the next Driver Dynamics track day at Sandown on the 7th of March and just thought id get some peoples opinions on their experience there if theyd been before.

Are u let free on the track at all or are u stuck doing little handbrake turn exercises and constantly stopping and starting? Feel free to give me all the goods and the bads.

And ALSO post up any pics that the professional photographers take of ur car on the day... or even links to videos... thanks!

You need to understand this very clearly:

It's called a Drift TRAINING Day. So you are not "let free on the track".

Having said that i found the day absolutely awesome and wish i had the time/funds to enter again. Learnt a few things and wouldn't mind a refresher course.

If you want to learn the basic principals of drift, this is great. Otherwise you need to go to a VIC Drift day @ Winton.

The Photo CD from Jarrod is totally worth it!!!

its stop and start but for a reason...theres only one instructor per section so he cant sit in all the cars at the one time..ha. as Al said its a training day not a drif practice day. Learn the basics and then go to winton to let loose.

I absolutely enjoyed the day...bring a hat and some sunscreen.

Awesome stuff mate. Is the track wet or dry?? I thought they keep it wet? In those photos its pretty clearly dry...

So the pro's come in the car with you? What sought of excercises did u do?

The track is kept wet for the most part, but would obviously dry a little till the water truck came round again. I actually stopped the water truck till after i finished my turn, just found that my car had no problems loosing traction .

Events:

- 180' handbrake turn

- 360' skidpan round a tight radius

- Left hand drift

- Linked Right and Left drift

- Right hand drift.

The order depends on the group you are in, but it's all fun
