Hi, signed up ages ago and have been lurking like an internet vigilante since. Been watching the drifting for long enough and want to start myself :) hope this is he right section for these questions, are there anything like the dwyb days like in the UK for complete beginners that welcome beginners?I'm 17 so no point insuring anything so what would a good beginners car be (roughly 1.5k)? How vital is mechanical know how because i have very little, would this be something i could learn as things went wrong or is there somewhere i could go to learn before hand?

Sorry for the inquisition, all replys appreciated
Thanks for reading
Paul

Thanks Alan and Romo will probably go down to Mondello and get a bit of instruction first, 375 for the full day...looks like its worth the weeks wages so :D Probably go down to caseys and barts as a spectator for a bit
