Evo Drift day
Just got an email from evo saying that i have a place on their tutorial drift day. 
Although it cost £199 to attend, best bit is that i get to use their cars the whole day.
Here's what they sent :-
You’ve seen the pictures, you’ve seen the videos and now it’s your turn to drift like Meaden, Bovingdon and Barker with our very own evo drift experience
Our experts will teach you how to balance a car in a power slide in both directions and use the weight of the car to induce a tailslide. You’ll even be using our cars, so you can burn rubber all day without worrying about large tyre bills!
An orientation and demonstration from our instructors will familiarize you with the Caterhams and you will be taught to steer the car using the throttle. Initially you may find yourself spinning the car as you deliberately provoke power oversteer. You will then learn how to kick the tail out and hold the slide by balancing smooth steering and throttle inputs. There are few feelings more satisfying than controlling a drift and the ‘grin factor’ is simply off the scale!
The instructors will teach you both in groups and individually and we guarantee that you will have drifted a car before the day is out! When your confidence has grown we will change to a more challenging track layout designed to allow you longer drifts. Ultimately there will be 4 courses with the last giving you the opportunity to show off your new drifting abilities at a higher speed and through multiple corners. Our team will judge the three best drifters of the day and award prizes, but everyone leaves with a smile and improved driving skills!
There will be a variety of evo prizes handed out and members of the evo team on hand for demonstration runs in some of our longtermers.
Places are strictly limited to just 32 drivers, the event takes place on Saturday 25th November at Silverstone.
Anyone else going on that day???
