There are beginners, intermediate and advanced tracks open at the same time each DWYB day. Who: DWYB is for anyone from complete novices wanting tuition to expert drifters wanting quality seat time without authorities or kerbs to worry about. Drift cars are rear wheel drive and usually light to moderate weight. The most popular cars for drifting in the UK are Nissans (S13/S14/S15 and GTS Skylines), Toyotas (AE86), Mazdas (MX5 and RX-7), Fords (Old School Escorts and Sierras) and BMWs (3 Series) but many other cars can be and are used for drifting. How Many: DWYB days are limited to 50 people per day to ensure maximum track time and with several prepared areas and courses there is no shortage of drift time.

Tyre disposal is £2 per tyre or you must take your used tyres away with you. Passenger Rides: If you don't have your own car or it's too precious then passenger rides are available, just ask a marshall. There is a £10 charge for all non-drivers / spectators at DWYB days.

How To Pay: To book tickets phone 01234 782828 or book online at www.SantaPodShop.com. DWYB: All the features mentioned above apply to everything that goes on at DWYB however we have several different track layouts for you to choose from depending on your level of ability. There are 4 play pens for practicing donuts and figure eights, an intermediate kidney track, as well as an advanced track. The DWYB advanced track is more suited to drivers with some experience looking to further improve skills. The larger course requires a higher level of driving skill and machine setup making it a perfect track to practice on for those who wish to turn a wheel between competitive events, try out new settings on their cars, or progress to the next level. Drivers will have to prove they are competent at basic drifting on the intermediate track before they are allowed on the advanced track. Drivers wishing to practice twining at DWYB days will have to prove they are competent on the large track solo first. DWYB Licences: DYWB licenses recognise a drifters competence and allow them entry to the end of day competitions, permit them to practice twinning and get them great discounts.

What is Drifting: "Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a sport based on the technique. A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right), and the driver is controlling these factors." wikipedia.org If you're still not sure what drifting is read more at wikipedia.org.
