portlaois drift track tips/advise

[jeff nelson sileighty]

ya its not a technical track but make sure for your first time round it just drive and slowly get her going sideways, its what i do no matter what track im driving and it helps....youll eventually get it, believe me its beter than going flat on your first lap and leaving an inprint of your car on a container

I only done one practice day there and it was my first ever day drifting.. Ive a lotttttt to learn but like the lads said, enjoy it and you'l get the hang of it.. What i learned from my own driving is i didnt keep the revs up enough.. Ive a ps13, s15 turbo. nothin crazy but enough to start out in skiddin.. as i said, the next day i want to try keep the revs up when hand braking so that when i let the clutch back out it'l pull on out of the corner for me.. It was bogging down on me because i was dropping out of boost.. my plan is to keep the boost up and see does that improve my laps.. The only other bit of advice im qualified to give is feather the throttle when you have a drift goin.. if you plant it you'l run out of lock and spin out.. Thats what i found anyway.. First bend - About 5000 revs in 2nd gear on the handbrake, line yourself up for the corner and feather the throttle around it not letting yourself run out of steering lock, 2nd bend - stay out wide on the handbrake at first just to get around it, dont worry about clipping points, keep the revs up and boost on, steer out of it the hole way down to the last right hander, out wide again, revs up, on the handbrake, plenty of revs out of that one.. Thats my game plan for the next day, might not work for everyone but its my own opinion on how to improve my own driving.. Most important thing!!! Enjoy it.. Dont get depressed watching the hero's slaying the track.. Thats my 50 pence

Clip the bottom container! Tis a satisfying feeling. Just drive the track really, it's all 2nd gear well it was for me in the standard powered S14.
