How Far 1-Day Lesson Will Go without Previous Experiences?

We get many inquires like, "How far I can learn in 1-day course?" 

It depends on the previous Motorsports experiences, how physically active you are, how quickly your body could adjust to the exercises, how much knowledge you have about physics of car motions, the physical condition of the day of lesson, and lastly...how much bad driving habits you have.  

Based on our graduates' average performances on a private lesson or up to 2 drivers from 2006, we would say about 90% of the beginner students would stay in 1st gear exercises in 1-Day Course.

Anyway, just as an example, in order to perform counter-steer Donuts consistently, you need to:

1. Keep the certain wheel speed
2. Feel of breaking the traction
3. Counter-steer at right moment
4. Catch the counter-steer at right moment
5. Keep the drifting angle and control the steering and throttle work

Next step will be adding the transitions.  It normally would take longer to master since you need to perform transition motion with consistent left and right donuts together.

All above exercises are very new to most of the students. 

They all told us even doing a few successful donuts were really difficult.  They felt difficult because of the drifting videos they have been watching made them think easy things to do.  We call it "different" than "difficult", tho.

It is very important how consistently you could perform the given exercises.  Also, understanding both theoretical knowledge behind drifting techniques and practical exercises will make the learning process better and quicker.    

How quickly you move on to the next exercises without consistency will end up going back to basic exercises because you don't understand why you make mistakes.  Do you plan to come back to the fill out the missing parts?

Most of the students get exhausted (most didn't feel exhausted because of the Adrenalin effect until they went back to hotel or home.) by activating the brain cells and unused area of muscles, and they start loosing focus around 2pm.

New challenges always take time to master, and out-of-focus won't help you any better. 

Coming back refreshed next day, students usually say, "Why did I even struggle that much yesterday?

Anyway, above 1st gear exercises are just "PREREQUISITE" of learning drifting.  If you would like to experiences actual drifting lessons and drift mini course in 2nd+ gear, we would recommend to take minimum of 2-Day course.  


Happy Drifting!
