Progress! I had Chizfab on the case of fitting a set of Rally Design compression struts and adjustable TCAs to the Sierra during the week, then a quick setup thanks to Pete (at Kwik Fit of all places!) to the figures supplied by Hungarian drift guru LeslieDG.

First test today at an SXOC big track Crail day went very well.... much more front end grip and faster self centering on the steering. The car didn't even feel like the same Sierra I had out the week before at Teesside! Much snappier, and the understeer I'd got so used to driving around has completely gone.

Was also managing to get use of more lock thanks to the more responsive steering, so I'm guessing that's where a lot of the extra smoke came from today!

Whooop! Qualified 2nd in my class today at BDC Teesside
(Top 16 get to do twin drifting out of around 35 cars in the class)

Just need to keep it all together tomorrow now....

and good luck for today........

A good weekend overall, just made a mistake in using my absolute best super grippy tyres for the twinning! Had far too much grip for my measly 200BHP so couldn't drive half as well as I had in practice and qualifying. Still managed to knock out Mark Lappage in the top 16 battle and get through to meet Christian Lewis for the top 8.
I knew I could have went much further, but qualifying 2nd and getting into the top 8 is still a massive improvement from Donnington and Norfolk where I didn't even qualify!

Fair play to ya Ade, well done mate

Get some skinnier tyres on the rear and inflated to the max

Whats the craic with that anyway in competition drifting?...do you need to stay the same size front and rear etc?

congrats ade

A little video of my qualifying runs from the BDC @ Teesside which earned me second highest qualifying position in class.

Don't have any vids of the twinning, but here's a few photos...









It might look cool, and I held it together, but this moment of going too fast and getting '2 wheels off' cost me the top 8 battle.
Still came in 5th place overall though!



Also there's a 6 page Fast Ford feature out now featuring my drift exploits (mostly based around getting the BDC licence)
