Is it a wet or dry pan?

yeah the pan will be wet but there is other sections that wont be so we recomend bringing a pair of wheels to do the day/lessons on then swap your good wheels back on in the arvo to drive home.

STUPID, wet pan sucks FFS! They don't wet down Winton why wet down the skidpan! Wet skidpan is no where near the same as dry skids.

The day is set out to teach people that have never even thought about how to slide a car.

Its easier to make it slide in the wet and so the students will learn faster.

For you guys that already have some sliding skill then you could come and would still have a fun day, but this day is aimed at the complete novice. The drift club is getting more and more new begginers at our track days and so we thought we would offer a day that is specific to people that would like to give drifting a go.

Yeah I've booked a spot and I'm sure I'll have fun but where are beginners getting the dry skid skills that are needed for Winton?

Even if the learning curve is higher it means that people will be ready for Winton and the learning curve will start slow but end up being quicker, whereas you can learn to slide pretty well on the wet skidpan and then jump onto the dry track and the learning curve pretty much starts all over again.

Basically they do this wet skidpan day and then step up to a dry track with actual corners, a big step up in my opinion. There's quite a difference between drifting on a wet skidpan and dry track.

It says no spectators but you can be part of my 'pit crew' if ya want dude.

So it turns out this is mainly on dry pan which is heaps better!

Enter people need more 80's Toyota snotboxes.

It was heaps of fun, but to be honest we didn't get as much time on the track as I'd hoped. There were just too many people/cars per group.

It got better towards the end of the day though and the guys at VicDrift did a great job.
