it's amazing..
I just want to see f1 cars in drift events... just sayin'
Sorry to hear that.. always looking at older bimmers, the 2.5 Straight six.. that would be fun to chuck around. It's my dream to be a professional drifter... But really, just to get the opportunity to try it would be fantastic.F1 is my favourite, but I watch a ton more. I love BTCC (especially the older late 80s-late 90s stuff), WRC (yay for it being back on telly!), ALMS and DTM. I'm also gonna be following V8 Supercars this year as it looks like the variation of cars is going to make it very exciting.
F1 is my favourite because of the technology, I think. The absolute pinnacle of technology, the fastest motorsport, the constant risk which adds to the excitement when things get really close.
I really want to get into some kind of motorsport myself but alas, dosh doesn't allow it! I had a flirt with drifting a couple of years ago, had an MX5 with a welded diff after my first Micra. Got to know loads of people in the know who were all following my progress at drift days, but alas, my MX5 was totalled by a stupid woman in an Astra!

Oh those BDC cars though <3. I love the fueltopia barrel sprint they have at the pod. Ever had a go at that? If not may be worth a try. £25 on the gate, all you need is a drivers license, what's not to love?!It's great fun, I'm probably gonna pick it up again but in a few years time when I'm done with my education and I can afford an S-body! The atmosphere is amazing at a drift event at places like Santa Pod, you've got full blown pro BDC cars buzzing around the same bits of track as Joe Bloggs in his decked, shagged, Beemer!
I live near Teesside autodrome, that's a cart track but used in the bdc

aye tis a nice short technical track, although the sharp 180 hairpin at the far end is very bumpy, and i work near the uni.When I found out my mate was going to Teesside university I was infinitely jelly of all the sick events he could go and see there. For a kart track it does get abused!

took mine there for the past 2yrs, shame they're not doing anymore car trackdays this year it seems
here's a pov shot of the last time I went there in april 2012 for me bday.
twas an all day open-pit lane session 9-4pm in the blazing heat, and as if that wasn't exhausting enough, there was a 30min kart race afterwards. all for a bargain £99
