they do a drift day at silverstone using caterhams
i went with a mate who did it looked like fun!
or go out for a ride with steve hignett in the wet that looked like fun
(sorry steve )
Save your motor, it ain;t gonna happen
You'll need an LSD and ordinary road tyres (will be much harder on R888s etc)

Yeah, I did the Caterham drift day and certainly got big drifts and transitions going!

I went on the caterham day at silverstone, 2 actually i loved it so much.
I also went on a drift trackday at oulton park (inner circuit, special slippery surface) in the MNR ZX14 and that drifted lovely.
Make sure you get your car corner weighted otherwise its pretty difficult.
I let my friend (a grass track racer) drive the MNR on the road (888 tyres) he drifted it all the way round a large roundabout at about 60mph, scared
the crap out of me but it is possible when you have the skill.
I'm in practice, using large wide round abouts
my kit does have a LSD and the tyres are toko s drives so they are high performance but dont have the grip level of a R888, i think i will get practicing the art of drifting..............
i have only used mine with R888's and can drift around car parks and do nut it all day long, even figure of eights.
I would say that high speed drifts would be harder but not impossible.
obviously your private road has a couple of roundabouts built in

Hi
Steve H who is a member on here is the guy who organises the drift days at Oulton. There's a link to him and a thread on the
WSCC HERE.
And a link to the trackaction-online forum HERE
Cheers Matt

Or just do what everyone else does and lock up / weld, an existing diff.
