Track Fee: $150 Paying Members ($180 Non-Members)

Limited to ONLY 20 PLACES.

Initial Drift Australia will be holding it's first official skid pan training day. This unique event offers an unintimidating and beginner friendly environment for drivers new to the sport of drift to learn how to do so in a safe and controlled manner.

We will be limiting places to 20 people only and due to the added cost of the hire of the skid pan this explains the cost.

Make no mistake it will be a training day with instructors taking you through the basics and moving onto more advance skills later in the day.

Held over a full day on the Eastern Creek Skid Pan facilities, drivers will will be challenged with obstacles and objectives that will allow the first time drifter to become competent in the art of drift as well as allow more advanced drivers to refine the more technical aspects of their technique. The wet low friction surface also makes this extremely car friendly with much less stress placed on the vehicle than an equivilant competition surface.

Notes

Though not an enforced requirement of attending the day, it is recommended that you use a vehicle that meets the following specifications to benefit from the available support and tuition.

- Rear Wheel Drive

- Manual Transmission

- Functioning Limited Slip Differential

A CAMS license is also required for this event and will be available on the day for a small/nominal fee ($20).

This day is aimed at the people wanting to learn how to drift and for the other people wishing to hone there skills on the skid pan.

Places are limited and have been filling up quickly so please pre-pay to confirm your place on the day.

    • Stock R33 except for suspension, tyres, brakes, and seats is a great ride. Get that power up around the 200mark, and it's great and reliable.
    • Here's the funny thing, my EV isn't that much heavier than its petrol variant. (1773 vs 1510). An R32 GTR is 1430... AND it puts all of the weight in the lowest location. So that's taking some higher up weight, and getting it lower, and all added weight lower. That gives a really nice low CG, and means it doesn't body roll that bad too... The one I'm driving is a Kona, and for a soccer mum SUV on cheapo tyres (not my choice), she'll hold the road surprisingly well. The only part that you've got to be aware of for cornering, is that at 80kmh it will still break into wheel spin, and if you lift off, regen breaking hits in hard. Hence in sports mode, I have regen breaking dialled back to its lightest setting without being off, other wise it's really jerky to drive if you want to roll out of the power a little.
    • There was a few times that 150m marker nearly got to exit the chat 😛
    • Well, just go buy some handbrake cables. S14, S13, A31 (? Maybe not - I suspect they have R chassis brakes), whatever you can get your hands on. And throw them at the car and see what sticks. Worst case, it is not impossible to get brake cables made. They just need the appropriate termination swaged on.
