Hi All,
I have owned for the past couple of years a caterham type 7 with a honda fireblade engine. Its producing about 140 BHP at the wheels (which doesn't sound alot) BUT the whole car only weighs in at about 450KG with me in it so the performance upto about 120mph (which i have it geared to run upto) is faster better than a lot of so called super cars. Anyway...to my question...by chance I went to a trackday that had a drift circuit and decided to give it a go. I fell in love with drifting straight away. However, I have no reference point for whether the car I have is any good at all or is so wrong for drifting that I will be banging my head against a wall trying to get it to drift in anything other than hooligan mode. So what are your thoughts on caterham style cars in drifting (they are RWD!!!!), and what about motorbike engined drift cars? Good, Bad...mental...I don't know and clue your opinions....
