I'm back from a driftday at RDW circuit lelystad. I "ll tell you my experience.
06:45
I wanted to get out of my bed, but slept trough the wake up thing...
07:45
Got telephoned out of my bed by a mate.. Toke a quick shower, and jumped into the car. A our and a little bit more later I was just in time at the track.
09:15
A little theory lesson, wich wasn't more than "respect for others material" and "you don't want theory, so lets go drift"
09:30
Started calm, just look how the track looks like. The track was made wet, so its more easy to go sideways. One of the instructers drifted a few times in my car, told me the car was diffecult to drift (not stranges, with the 1.4 vario...) In the beginning I was drifting each corner, later more drifting from corner to corner.
13:30
Pauze, just a quick fuel consumption.
14:00
Drifting again, I was getting better and better, drifting the whole track 5 times around, from drift into drift, a lot a of maximum angle and without spinning. When the wet tarmac became dry, i stopped drifting because I didn't had enough power. Later, when i knew how it should be on dry, I started with high speed drifting into the corners, twice the speed compared to the BMW's.. (they had 100% sper and 170 bhp, and can go sideways without idiot speeds
) They have made movies, but i don't know or the filmed me. (lets hope)
17:00
The day is over, wow now already? Damn, it want more
Some telephone made pics:
Unfortunately I have no action photo's. .. There are made, I hope I can find something on the web.
I hope even more I am in the movie, wich will be availeble in a week.. I'll post the link.
And yes, it felt good to see that I did a lot better than other people who were there for the thirt time, and drove a welded diff and 190bhp Beamer...
If I can prepar my car a little bit more (welded diff, suspension and dampers changed) I wanna go for my drift License
Grtz..
