Hi guys, I'm Sydney.
I'm new on the forum and pretty much finding my feet.
I own a 1990 e30 325i which I bought in pieces and brought to life.
I really want to learn to drift like a pro.
Where in Cape Town can I go if I want to learn to drift??

Ok that will work :=): ,

Maybe make a trip to the skid pan, from there you can speak to other people there and someone will be able to advise you or know of a place.

"There's no wax on, wax off in drifting. The first drifters invented drifting out here in the mountains by feeling it. So feel it!" - Han

Jokes aside bud, I learnt by alot of skidpan time, and once I got it right there I started on dry tarmac. LSD/Welded Diff is a must. I found the skidpan to be more difficult to control due to the lack of traction all around, but once I got it right there, dry tarmac was an easy change.

An advanced driving school will teach you how to hold and recover a slide, in my personal opinion, the money would be better spent on tyres and Skidpan time.

Word of advice from the wise, stay off the streets (even the abandoned ones) while learning (and in general anyway). While learning how to drift, pavements and islands are a very expensive lesson.

Should be fun anyway.

Please update here as to what they say. It's an interesting endeavour.
