CJspeedsport Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Both are £99, both are at Silverstone and my birthday is coming up...(well, May!) One seems to be autotest style drifting, the other skid control. Which do you guys think would be most useful for the Speed Series and racing generally? Thanks in advance.

Mid life crisis Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Urr neither IMHO Smoothness and lines spend your money on track, driver training / instructor Unless your intention is to appear to be spectacular at events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJspeedsport Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I've spent quite a bit with track instructors and will continue to do so I'm sure. However, I'm looking to get a bit of experience of controlling a car when it's on the edge or just ever so slightly over (as i understand this is the fastest way of driving a car?). Almost every time thats happened on the track I've tank slapped my way to a stop. (spectacular for the wrong reasons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKARM Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 So playing devils advocate for a moment, would it not be better to do something in your own car, like a car limits day at North Weald rather than a Westfield active day? Ive not done the Westie day myself, but Ive been on a few of the equivalent Caterham *spit* events where the cars were set up to be hugely laity. Great fun, but not sure I learnt much...

alexander72 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 IMO time in your own car getting smooth and recognising the limits and remaining within them to be quick have fun whatever you choose met Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having done both IMO i learn't much more on the Westfield day than at north weald. This was mainly due to the amount of excellent tuition I recieved from the Westfield instructors, whereas car limits gave us little/no instruction, but it was nevertheless good to see how my own car behaved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJspeedsport Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Well that settles it! Easter weekend I will be doing a Westfield drift experience!! Exciting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Good point Smokey. ive been to curb a few times and done corporate days elsewhere like Silverstone and brands but have learnt more, and got quicker, trying to remain within the limits of driving. Best thing i did was WSCC Sprint School last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 forgot to add that WSCC Sprint School was also Free Of Charge thanks to the time volunteered by the very experienced fellow members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJspeedsport Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'll hopefully be doing the sprint school, but I don't know when or where it is...any ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid life crisis Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It's normally on the Saturday before the WSCC Currborough Sprint. That will make it the 15th June I think Oh it's at Currborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
