Drift Out Wednesday Event 5
So... I tried to use some "better" tires, but I think the Pirelli P8000's I used were worse than the Yokohama snow tires I had on before. Maybe the Dunlop SP5000's will be better.
Too much power and a 400 treadwear tire (didn't realize till after... doh) made for a lot of smoke

The "track" wasn't setup as well as the previous event either, IMO. Seemed like there were more turns and the course flowed a lot better before, compared to just a few sweepers with some weird straight sections that seemed to confuse more than a few drivers this time around....

I drove it in between shooting you guys driving it.
I felt that it was a looser course more for guys on their first event. I would think you guys with turbos would like it. It left you plenty of room to smoke those tires. I drove Erik's car and it was a lot of fun. I am stuck in NA land and like tighter courses with more turns. I did have a blast though. Next month is going to be insane.
