Caterham's Drift Experience...

I and about 25 or so other Club members were at the Caterham Drift Experience Day yesterday at Brands Hatch.

The rain was, to put it mildly, biblical for much of the day but despite that the CC guys put on a fabulous day. It was great fun, and quite educational too in terms of how to get the car sideways with (some...) control. All the cars we drove were 360 SV's and to make drifting easier they have the front ARB removed, run alot of rake (high at the back) with scrubbed Avon ZZRs at the front and narrow Academy ZT7 tyres at the rear. 

If you ever get the chance to do one of these days I would thoroughly recommend it. There is another 'Club Exclusive' day coming up on 8 May '24 at Donnington  - I don't know if its full yet but worth asking if you are interested; booked via Pink Angels (admin@caterhamlotus7.club). The Caterham Experience team know there is local demand for one of these days if they can find a venue in our patch, and a slot in their calendar, so I will continue to push that.

I attach a few photos from the day plus a of videos  of some proper 'cone abuse' ...not me driving in that video I hasten to add.

Did it Friday. We had much better weather.

It did however, rain quite hard as we started the final run through the big course. The dramatic reduction in grip from what we’d gotten used to made it tricky.

It’s a good day and I’m glad I did it, although a bit less standing around and waiting would be preferable. 
All the Caterham team were great - very helpful. Bob L even popped by late morning to say hello.
