335d went a "Drifting" today

ibanezking · 05-21-2010, 01:07 PM

Took my 335d on a drifting taster session today at Oulton Park........... with MSV

BRILLIANT

- span it a couple of times............. but got it moving in several corners too - left some nice "black" lines!!!

I got one of the instructors to sit in with me - which was very helpful........ "bit more gas" "bit more lock" etc..........

The taster session is squeezed in the dinnertime slot between the guys doing at for 2 hours in morning and 2 hours in afternoon..............

The only downside, was that after really enjoying it, they came and said i could stay for the full afternoon for £80 as someones car had popped its Rad.

............ had to be home to pick up the kids though!

New tyres needed now?

New tyres needed now?

ibanezking · 05-23-2010, 04:52 AM

no, if i'd been there all day - then most probably..........

But the taster session is easy going on tyres- and the surface of the track is designed to be very smooth - and they wet it

So you can practice at lower speeds in a more controlled manner..........

doughboy · 05-24-2010, 05:57 AM

Awesome - there's another one at Oulton on 3rd July.

Might see if I can get the pass stamped for a day out....

Test out the Quaife in its natural environment!!

ibanezking · 05-25-2010, 01:13 PM

I may just go to that Doughboy - give me a shout if you're going.........

doughboy · 05-26-2010, 03:50 AM

Can't do the 3rd July - missus away and I'm baby sitting.

The next one is 7th August. Will check and let you know.

I think we should get a day out organised.

What better than a bunch of RWD BMW's for a drift day!!!

doughboy · 05-28-2010, 05:12 PM

I'm booked in for the a full day at Oulton Park on the 7th August (saturday)

Looks like a real hoot! up to 6 hours drift time!!

They still do "dowry's" in South Manchester???? - The inlaws, might even of paid you to be shut of her!

@ hmi750.......... a washing machine stopping your fun - you wanna knock that on the F***in head right now!!

doughboy · 08-11-2010, 03:56 AM

Went drifting at Oulton park on saturday with Max (ibanezking). And it rained a lot.

Great day out, but my drifting skills are pretty limited to 180 or 360deg spins, usually within 5 yards of the start!

In my case the odd 'lucky' maintained slide usually ended with a trip on the grass. Fear of armco and trees put paid to too much daring-do.

I'll get some video up on youtube - there's some good drifts from a couple of Jap R34's and an old evo4, plus a guy in a E36 M3 who was very good! I missed a shot of the Boxter with the roof down that went off road into a huge muddy puddle, most of which ended up inside the car!!

Max took some great snaps, whether he wants to embarass us by putting them up is his call

ibanezking · 08-11-2010, 04:15 AM

Max(me) is in the Silver E92 335d
DoughBoy(Mike) in the Silver E91 335i
The others are random attendees............

The 2 guys driving the E34 Nissan had PHD's in Drifting!!!!! the Guy in the E36 M3 was shit hot too

ibanezking · 08-12-2010, 04:06 AM
