Heard it was a good day any more pics or is their more posted on any other sites
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
Mmmmm, its called ''Drift Practice'' day..... Its NOT a Race people...
So many idiots go speeding down the straight and don't give there cars a chance to cool down and let some air in... :(
But Mondello were letting way too many out in each group, especially at the start of the day, there was 20+ cars on track. Which is just wrong... End of the day, when people were leaving was much quieter and less cars in the gravel :rolleyes:
There should be a limit to the amount of cars out in each session or at least let people out in short intervals instead of everyone just piling into the first corner ..........
Anyone we know Podge:p;)Quote:

cause last time i was there the yellow flag was been shown on nearly every corner:rolleyes:
There's a blue flag to warn of faster drivers approaching so thats when your supposed to pull over, although thats not easy mid-drift!Quote:

They do split up the groups but maybe the should try figure out a way to split it up into cabalities, not easy though but i'm sure they could try!
Anybody know wat colour flags there are and wat they mean:confused:
i just slow down for a couple of seconds wen im shown a flag
But i dont know wat it means:D
Dont take this the wrong way,But what a fuckin eejit you are,What do you think the briefing is for.Quote:

First of all, alota people on here are beginers and they're not gonna have experience so there's no need to slate someone because of they're lack of it..
Ya cant expect people to know the flags if they've never been shown but as Paul said, he'll now make sure he's on time to get to the briefing, which mondello should have informed you of also and things should be that bit clearer!!
Thanks Stevo for the flag info too!
id like to get to see more of her...drifting of course;)Quote:
