Agree and apologies to Georgie for assuming the instructor was driving when she was :oops:

The SC was very keen to spin, but v.tricky to 'catch' and send into full drift - the instructor soon proved to me that it was possible, by swapping seats with me and doing a lovely circular full-on drift.
I had a few more goes, but nothing as good as him - but had a blast trying!


Jo, it looked really good from where I was watching! You can't expect to be as good as the instructor after only a few minutes at the wheel. I've got some pics, but unfortunately most taken of the far track are out of focus ](*,) because I was using max zoom and no tripod :cry: will post them anyway.

Hi Georgie, welcome to the friendly forum. :D Sorry about spilling the beans on your faux pas on buzzez :oops:. I should have realised that it would have led to a torrent of abuse. ](*,) Newbies eh :roll:

Georgie wrote:orginasation was a little poor.

That's an understatement, shambolic would be a better description. But they were really friendly people and it was their first attempt at such an event.

Yes it was. Such a shame that no-one caught your perfect figure of 8 on video.

Agree, too many of you for too few cars. I think most of the girls would've paid a bit more for more time.
