Fey- is there a room booked for me?

Having a sleep in you poor thing you  or else you are polishing the car I bet

Can we all agree on a time to leave or is it everyone for themselves and now that the karting is at 2pm not 3pm puts more pressure on the spin down

Hi Fey.

I had planned to go, but got an email this morning from EVO Magazine to say I got a place on their drift course!! So I'm gonna save my €€€ for that. I can't wait!

Subject: evo drift day at Silverstone on 25th November

 

Hello

Thanks for registering for the evo drift tutorial.  We are writing to you to in order to arrange your place at Silverstone on Saturday 25th November
and to organise payment (please see a reminder of the details below)

Don’t delay, as places are limited!

Best regards

The evo team

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------

You’ve seen the pictures, you’ve seen the videos and now it’s your turn to drift like Meaden, Bovingdon and Barker with our very own evo drift experience

Our experts will teach you how to balance a car in a power slide in both directions and use the weight of the car to induce a tailslide. You’ll even be using our cars, so you can burn rubber all day without worrying about large tyre bills!
An orientation and demonstration from our instructors will familiarize you with the Caterhams and you will be taught to steer the car using the throttle. Initially you may find yourself spinning the car as you deliberately provoke power oversteer. You will then learn how to kick the tail out and hold the slide by balancing smooth steering and throttle inputs. There are few feelings more satisfying than controlling a drift and the ‘grin factor’ is simply off the scale!
The instructors will teach you both in groups and individually and we guarantee that you will have drifted a car before the day is out! When your confidence has grown we will change to a more challenging track layout designed to allow you longer drifts. Ultimately there will be 4 courses with the last giving you the opportunity to show off your new drifting abilities at a higher speed and through multiple corners. Our team will judge the three best drifters of the day and award prizes, but everyone leaves with a smile and improved driving skills!

There will be a variety of evo prizes handed out and members of the evo team on hand for demonstration runs in some of our longtermers.

Places are strictly limited to just 32 drivers, the event takes place on Saturday 25th November at Silverstone.

The price for the full day is just Ł199 including a light lunch and all day refreshments.

That'll be a good sight Ben. A crappy Volvo followed closely by a gang of BMW's trying to get past.

According to Alex, the karting is at 2pm.  I'm trying to locate a map to Tynagh, which is close to Portumna.

On Sunday, breakfast is at 11 o'clock sharp in the Kingsvalley hotel (see link on opening post).  We'll leave there around 11:45 to 12, to be in Kinvara at the pier at 12:30.  Ben takes over from there.

Any problems, you can contact me on 087-9696835, as I'm not sure if I'll get online later on or in the morning (depends on the progress of the builders in the house!!!)

Ger - can you give me a call, please.  Thanks.

The Pallas guy wants us to start driving before 3pm. Basically we all need to be there by 2:30 at the latest so we should aim to be there for 2pm.

How long does it take to get to Tynagh from Loughrea?
