So I want to start drifting.

1867IE

I've decided.

I've been to Mondello and did the day course with Drift IRL and I've done my bit of messing on the beach in my car (Front Wheel Drive!) but now I want to go the next step.

..................What's the next step?

If I buy a nice cheap RWD car what are my options realistically? I dont want to risk my license by carrying on in car parks at midnight etc, too old for that.

I'm a mature driver and want some fun legitimately so what are my options for Drifitng? Track days? Beach? Any clubs/areas to consult?

I personally wouldn't do much on the beach. Its illegal and you might get stuck .

Try www.driftireland.com for details of open events.

As for a car, a 535 or 540i with a manual box would be what i'd choose but are very rare. Any beemer (e36 328i) with a welded diff will get you running. If its a road/track car however you might need to go for a 200sx/silvia/skyline/e36 with an LSD etc. You will need a LSD or a welded diff to drift.

How did you find the course in Mondello, recommended?
