    Default Starting off? advice

    Hows it going guys?
    Im looking to start out doing proper drifting, Im thinking a 318is might be a start as they seem to be going cheap as road cars even at the moment! The car is one thing but what are the basic requirments needed to be alowed on the track ie. safety and all that? Ive done drifting before in a saloon 318 that just had a welded diff just on a slab at home and around the fields but wanna do it properly!! so any advice and tip would be welcome!
    Cheers

    For drift fest I'm Pretty sure you need a harness. And you need a helmat. After that it's just tires and fuel.

    Seems simple enough. I thought a cage bucket seats and maybe fire extinguisher would be the minimum!!

    Try get your hands on a 325 if your going bmw route.

    No matter what car you get, get a cage, bucket seat, harness, fire extinguisher and a helmet etc for your own sake !

    Driftfest is only a pratice day so you don't need a cage, would recommend one tho.
