FAQs


How many tyres do i need ?

Lots - rule of thumb is as many as you can fit in car as there is nothing worse than being at drift day with a working car, empty track and no tyres


Can my mates come out for passenger rides ?

Yup


Is it fully booked yet ?

Once full i will post up 'Fully booked '


Help it has sold out - what do i do ?

We hold back 10 tickets at every event as people often dont turn up. Advance tickets are £60 - Pay on day £70

What happens if it rains ?

DWYB will run regardless - you will use less tyres and more petrol

Do i need a welded diff / Fancy JDM 2-way ?

a diff that locks both wheels will help - however its not vital for you to come along and have FUN


Do I need lots of power/ Stage6.9chip/ SuperDuperHybridTurbo/ 2JZ

Nope.


:dw:
 
I really want to go! Going to see what money I can raise in time for this. Fingers crossed I might be able to make it.

Edit: Just had a look at the cost of a ferry to come over for this. £175 if I book now:(

Anyone want to buy a kidney?:wack:

Yay!!! Finally, a drift day on a saturday (and not oulton park... too slow).
Booked, I'll be there in a stock(ish) s14, rolling and spinnnig all over the place.
 
when you say you dont need mad powaz! could i make a day of it on my stock mk2 MX5 without clutch kicking all day... rather not batter my clutch as yet.

Sorry if its a stupid question, in new to this
 
I'm sure there are loads of places to stay near-by, but does anyone know anywhere close that can park a Transit van with car trailer???
I'm thinking of travel down friday evening.... stay close by (withing about 10 miles)... carry on to Pod Saturday morning.
Any info appreciated :)

You could definitely have fun mate, stock mx-5 still pretty light and i'm sure you could get it spin up in 2nd without having to clutch kick. Last time i went there were a few people in stock 3 series BMW's. If they can have fun i'm sure you can. :)

Many MX5 drivers attend DWYB regularly - I will let them share their experience

On the big track you use your speed an momentum to drift not just rely on clutch kicks :nod:

All depends on your current skill level :D

I wasn't thinking along the lines of intruding on anyone in particular... more like a Travelodge or Premier inn with a large enough carpark so I'm not a nuisance to other users.

I'll check out google maps and see if I can zoom in on a few places.

Thanks for the info though Lex.... much appreciated :thumbs:
