I did it myself and learned a hell of a lot. I found it was great for getting rid of bad habits you would have on the road and learn more about competitive drifting than you ever will at a track day. As Mike said it makes sense for someone who wants to learn without risking their car. It sounds expensive but every track day I've done has been around the same price, all included![]()
Ha ha ha BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
The Level 2 and 3 courses are relatively new but so far the people who have done them have been really happy and would really be ready to go and compete in the amateurs. There are different techniques in it, like high speed entries and how to carry your drift over a long distance using shallow angle etc. so for someone who can already drive but wants to improve then its defo worth a look. Like you also drive different cars, theyre all fairly similar handling wise but there are differences in the way the steering returns etc. so you have to be a bit more aggressive driving some more than others, and there are differences in power, so you learn how to deal with different situations and characteristics, which I guess can only be a good thing
