Has Snetterton canceled drift days?

[Gazelle]

This is really BAD news for uk drifting if Snetterton has definitely stopped drifting at the 100 course!!
Sounds like its basically been fucked up by a collective of talentless pricks.......Gutted!!!

Needs to be invite only , and vetted.

I am properly upset that its off.

Snetterton was awesome!!!
Lack of places to drift was y I sold my drift car and bought a TVR only reason I'm here now as I'm checking for a mate for somewhere to drift.
Maybe if the cars were checked more and drivers vetted first would stop the tramp drift piss takers!

I Emailed MSV asking if they were doing any drift days at their tracks (they are the company who run Brands hatch, Oulton Park, Snetterton, Cadwell Park and Bedford autodrome).

This is the response I got, so i suspect they've been cancelled at Snetterton.

Hi,

Although not confirmed yet we are likely to be running drifting events at Oulton Park still this year.

Keep an eye on our website for further into.


Thanks

i was kicked off twice for 'mistaken identity, first time they thought i was drifting in the no drift zone and second time they thought i was recording on a mobile phone. The track used to be more fun

Not at a drift day, but I have been given a rather surly talking to my marshals at Bedford after mistaken identity (very similar car - different wheels). It makes me think for track days it might be worth putting big silly stickers on cars just to make them more identifiable.

Back in November I emailed MSV about Snetterton, this was the response...

Hi Rob ,

Sadly drifting won’t be returning to Snetterton for the foreseeable future. Due to circuit wear and noise issues we can’t run anymore days.

Kind Regards

As a whole, the 'drift scene' cant seem to get its act together on its own, so the tracks closing is going to force drifters to actually look at their cars/their driving and actually take pride in it and do something about it.

Short term, its crap that tracks are closing but long term; with stricter rules in place and vetting, scrutineering etc. it'll filter out the utter knobbery and allow the UK scene to grow.

Driftland are already starting to imply certain rules such as 'have a car with bumpers' ... i mean seriously; does this have to be a rule for people to adhere to it? This is how far behind we are.
