ah these tings are bound to happen in fairness ted i just have bad look to happen twice but ye even if there was a way of seeding the drivers or a way to asses driver ability and then put them into groups at least that way some silly things like that can be avoided its very hard to full commit ur self to a bend up there wen ur afraid of were the lad in front is going to end up before, mid way or after the bend.
It is bound to happen with the amont of lads on track at one time and cars seem to build up a bit on the corners. Lad spun in front of me on time and we hit both fronts :(
tats bad luck man but these things happen plus ya couldn screen every driver there as it would take for everQuote:

Ill edit and upload it tomorrow and put a link up. There was some people out and they spun on most corners for the whole day, i had thought a basic course before a drift practice day would be a good idea, but then mondello wouldnt do so well probly. Most drivers were good, only 3 or so spinning out on corners. Always wondered does it effect the other drivers day much when they are going good and come up behind a spinner.........................Quote:

rant over.......:p
Hahaha i think it then u type it lol:D But yeh there was groups of 4 and 5 cars coming up to the same corner then huge gap to next car.. Did'nt bother me tbh but yeh id see how it would put sum people off...Quote:

its impossible to stay back as so many cars on track also when drifting in third u catch the slower cars very quick and if u stay back your also gonna be holding people up also the people tat come up flashing the lights behind u should be kicked off imo as its fierce nerve wrecking on the driver in front one person out there does it at every track day im out he wasnt at the last one thou
