Westfield Chesil Limited Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Good Afternoon All, I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend and to those who attended KitFest thank you for coming to say hello and support us and the show. We are thinking of running a Westfield club member only drift day experience. Can I have people thoughts on this and whether or not you all would be interested.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Have done a few drift days previously, when they were at Donnington. Absolutely loved them, and would like to do again. Subject to cost/location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I did one about 5 summers ago also at Donnington just weeks after I'd bought my car. I'd certainly been very keen to do another although I'd be looking for more of a tuition session rather than jump-in, quick lap of the course, jump-out again experience I had. Just my own thoughts but if the instructers started with a sweeping curve of cones and encouraged us to improve our basic skills on that then perhaps the weaving slalom course may be a bit more achievable. I think a "members-only" day could accommodate a bit of tuition rather than my previous experience when the instructors had to deal with a mix of people most of whom (apart from me and Andy Lowe) had never even sat a Westfield previously. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 True, the one's I did, I did get some good 1 on 1 car control lessons from Russ, but something a wee bit more training orientated would be good, too.

Westfield Chesil Limited Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary @CraigHew the reasoning behind the Westfield owners was to allow more of a tuition based session. I love the idea of having a course comprising which could incorporate all different corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 If you need an extra instructor who knows Westfields I would be happy to assist (subject to availability / location / fee). Rescinded my instructor license these days but still do bits of work here and there to keep my hand in Did one of these days at Silverstone a few years back (and produced a promo video for you) and it was a really fun day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Done two, a fair while ago. And would definitely be up for another, as would a mate of mine. Usual 'cost/location/date'' dependency!🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Driving our own car or one provided? Or just being chauffeured around? I wouldn't be interested in the latter, but the former... sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Mart Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 They also need to be set up to do this - high tyre pressures etc? Agree - not ideal using your own car unless you turn up and use another set of wheels & tyres. Mart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
