110posto - Speed Academy – Zagreb EVO readers Training Day

The Westfield SEE / 110 Ultimate Drift Driving Experience

A fun packed adrenaline filled day where you will learn to master the art of close control performance driving.

Carefully designed assessment models enable to instructors to focus on the areas where you will gain most ensuring fast learning for all and a very high level of achievement for all participants.

The full drift course contains all that is needed to give you complete confidence in making a car dance.

Aims of Training Day

To have a lot of fun and learn drifting skills in a relaxed convivial environment.

To take clients through the basics of high performance drifting in an informal but tightly controlled and safety focused environment.

The outcome of the training day should be that the clients have significantly improved driving performance and feel comfortable executing a basic drift in first gear. Some clients may advance to second gear drifting and transitioning.

Half day

12:00 – 12:15 Welcome, drinks and initial introductions to fellow participants, the experience team and the cars.

12:15 – 14:15 Initial driving demonstrations and instruction, here we teach the basic physics and techniques of car control and you have your first runs in the car

14:15 – 14:45 Review and coffee break. A pause for thought where you can refresh with a drink, your instructors will discuss elements of car control with you

14:45 – 16:45 Advanced instruction and further extensive runs in the car, honing technique and perfecting your runs for a personal best.

16:45 – 17:00 Drive off to find most improved client of the day, prize award

Specific Goals

The training day is exactly that – it is not a race or competition – all drivers come from different backgrounds and have different experience, the purpose of the day is to have a lot of fun in a safe environment and to learn the basics of drifting.

The aim is for all drivers to improve their performance as efficiently as possible. The team and the clients work together to improve every performance. We help each other in a constructive way such that all clients reach, as quickly as possible, each higher level of skill.

We have a large area for training but you should stop by applying the brakes smoothly and firmly whenever you feel out of control of the car.

Do not worry if the below looks daunting – all will become clear on the day and you will have a lot of fun and the instructors will always be supporting and developing the clients.

Specific aims for training level one – Rookie - that clients learn the techniques involved in..

Small diameter drifting Transitioning If fast learners

o Medium diameter drifting

These comprise Modules one, two and three and typically take a few days to master but will be attempted on the day.

There will also be fun combinations of these.

Each of the drivers should aim to develop controlled drifting with minimal shock to the car – i.e. transitioning using momentum and not clutch shock.

To achieve defined progress we drift in a controlled sequence.

1. Module Onea. Donut Stage One

b. Donut Stage Twoi. Clockwise small diameter drift (around one cone) 720 degrees

4. Module Foura. Medium Drifting

i. Medium diameter drift clockwiseii. Medium diameter drift anti clockwise

iii. Medium to small clockwise driftiv. Medium to small anti clockwise drift

b. Combinations One i. Three cone small diameter to medium diameter drift clockwise

startii. Three cone small diameter to medium diameter drift anti

i. Three cone medium to small to medium drift clockwise startii. Three cone medium to small to medium drift anti clockwise start

It is very, very, unlikely that we will complete all of this in one day – anyone who does will be set more difficult challenges…

I have sketched these out below – we will talk through them on the day, so don’t worry if you don’t follow theses in detail.
