Is it a 'drifting' event? or drive fast around cones on a slippery surface?

Its timed runs around a set course of cones, its up to you whether you keep traction the whole time. I slid my way around the last layout and got 3rd somehow :lol:

This was augusts layout.

so best to run decent tyres all round I'm guessing rather than average rears

Good tyres all round.
You don't need snow tyres or shitters.
This thing dosnt wear our tyres with the amount of time you spent on track.

Drop the rear pressures and soften the shock, and you'll have plenty of grip.


I might go...
Have an 18th to go to the night before =\

We'll see.

I made the mistake of cranking the shocks up. Skipped everywhere... Deflating tyres and soften damping is very good advice

I'll be there all day! Looks like it's going to rain as well so might have some mint skid practice haha.
Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

Keen to come to the next one, manifold will be sorted by then. I just won't have a roll bar but that should be fine?

Yep, dont need a bar on the skid pad. Can even take a co-driver without a bar

There isnt really any practice time unless you can tag onto the freestyle session at the end of the AM session.
You get 5 timed runs and your final position is determined by an average of your 3 best times
