Far better than my pics, lol

 

[Laura]

Fankyou. Forget how much running was involved in shooting an event haha!!

 

[MaLicE]

did u have press pass?

 

[Laura]

Yes

 

[MaLicE]

how much dick did you suck for that lol?!

i did see you... was gonna say hi but walked past instead lol!

 

[Laura]

None, thankyou very much lol!!
Was a little dissapointed they didn't allow us in the infield at the 1st corner like last year tho

 

[MaLicE]

tbh the weather ruined the drifting for me, they normally take first corner at 70mph+ but with it being soaked looked like even 30-40mph was too much they just weren't getting the speed to link the corners or get masses of angle etc to what they normally get there...

 

[Laura]

The finals were much better. The track just wasn't drying out at all!

There was a couple of backwards entries, one is in the pics above

 

[Englebert]

Backwards entry is incredible really...

Not exactly racing snakes, are they! If the sport is going to get beyond pikeys, they need to make an effort.

Normally 100mph+ entry in the dry, if you listened they topped out second and some a little into third in the wet, which with 600hp say and a 2jz, I'd hazard a guess at 80mph still..?

 

[MaLicE]

100+ really?

only prob with running bcd at shows like trax is all the chavs see it and think they can get in to it, then you get people being the next drift king and ruining the sport... america has it right in a way you need that much money to enter in to anything serious out there it keeps scum away lol.

 

[Laura]

Bdc is Either rightly or wrongly getting too expensive for most. Alot of lower drivers dropping out this season

 

[jesus]

Nice shots, was fun to watch too.

 

[Gaz.]

100+ really?

So they reckoned at Knockhill, and that's one scary entry blind at those speeds normally, yet alone sideways!

 

[Laura]

Near enough 900 views on flickr in 4hours. Madness lol.

Remember the speedo isn't accurate when drifting. Knock hill they were initiating at between 90 and 95 mph. Most of the speed is scrubbed off and mid corner your doing 50 ish at a guess.

 

[MaLicE]

yeh there no way you will initiate at silverstone over 80 you would go straight off, woman driving the r32 went off at 40 lol nearly every attempt! first practice literally everyone span, even phil morrison lol!

swedish guy in the supra was a good driver!

talking of backwards entry, mad mike has it pretty much nailed!!

The wheels aren't spinning before initiating. The speedo won't be accurate in the run up due to tyre profile.
