Any form of drifting is not allowed, we came down pretty hard in the afternoon when it was obvious some people were getting a bit too silly.

Theres drift days at both winton and calder. Winton im fairly sure is organised by Vicdrift and Calder practice nights are on Wednesday but now ran by calder management. Winton i beleive have both comp days (beginner and advanced sections) as well as days designated as practice days. Calder has practice nights one wednesday night a month or something like that but apparently they just put up tyre barriers around heaps of corners now so be ready for a bit of carnage or bumpers being ripped off because theres no run-off. Both welcome all sorts of makes, but of course jap cars dominate the scene. Best to check http://www.vicdrift.com/web/ or www.nissansilvia.com (the Victorian, Events & Drift Talk forums) for more info. |

Most performance cars ie HSV, GT, WRX don't even hit 170 km/h down the front straight of Winton. The Porsche 911 Carrerra S reaches 188 km/h. |

There seems to have been a big speed difference in cars on the day. Were cars grouped with others who were circulating at similar lap times, or was it a free for all?
I know I would have been nervous mixing it with cars that could only manage 140 km/h down the front straight, as I would have been bearing down on them a hell of a lot faster. |

free for all, and i didnt feel at ALL nervous about cars going a lot quicker then me.
my car is far from quick (near stock performance times) had turbo cars whiping past me in the striaghts (no overtaking in corners) and it was all good. very comfortable out there and it was only my first time.
