Durban Drift?

BBos19 Mar 2009, 17:44

Hey guys

So just wondering what the Durban guys do for their drift education?
Do you guys session various spots or something? Because I know there is no track(Hesketh, iDube, Mason's Mill)

And what are you guys building drift cars planning to do? (Like Brendan)

Because if I were to get a 200sx where could I actually use it properly?

Howzit man, where about r u from? I've spoken to the durban guys about this before, I'm still scouting about for a place that we can pay to use. It's super shyte that we don't have places like rock raceway. I'm not sure if the guys are still doing the trip to Rock Raceway,

check it out

For now the guys are drifting on either PS2, PS3 or Nintendo 😀

Zup Bos:)

I was building mine for Hesketh, which really sux now:( but dont let this put you off. GET AN SX:) we can always make a plan somewhere nearby:)

Otherwise my plan is trailering upcountry for track time, but we could always hookup with BMW club for their Car park sessions or ..maybe create our own i dunno, we need to speak to Rob!

Either way... GET AN SX, or atleast something rwd:)

I'm seriously think of taking to the streets. I'm no fan of illegal street racing but still now that Hesketh is gone we got no track.

I got my eye on Nandi drive. Its got a big flat well tarred intersection and there isn't much traffic at night. So, I may go there and mess around a bit once my w/m is in and the head gasket/head is sorted.

That or the old sugar mill casino site. I don't know what the sercurity is like there tho.

Seriously ryan, be careful there, wouldn't say theres a huge cop problem, but there is a hijacking problem. As for Mason's Mill, the road to the place is shit, I wouldn't say the track has a huge run-off area, so I wouldn't recommend for beginners.

DDriftZ20 Mar 2009, 08:55

Reece is right, .. in the very least dont do solo missions in dodgy areas, always have a camera car following:)

BBos20 Mar 2009, 10:22

Hahah, ye make sure u got a support vehicle!

Mason's I wouldn't recommend either, I've raced that track in a golf, and not only is it small and right(didn't bother getting out of 2nd), but the track surface itself is rough, and will chow your tires like pacman on roids!

Where in Toti exactly?

rratadmin20 Mar 2009, 15:22

it is far for me and i will make a mission to come if someone can organise a spot

BBos20 Mar 2009, 16:10

Yes, this is true, a spot somewhere at least is better than none!

DDriftZ21 Mar 2009, 08:48

Maybe Poizn doesnt want to 'advertize' where this spot is.. if you know what i mean, .. right? ...im game as soon as my sx is running.. shouldnt be more than a month from now, fingers crossed.

...and back to what the guys were saying about Masons Mill, .. ive also run there and its pretty tight and messy, but the biggest issue is the ramps between the flat straight sections, that bottom one especially. but if you cruise through the tight crappy parts you will find a couple of decent corners too. But you cant / shouldnt have your suspension too low / hard there .. imo
