Mtech Lite Westfield Drift 150 Drifting Experience

Step into the Westfield for an adrenalin filled session of learning and practicing the basic skills such as understeer, oversteer and spin control. Lots of sideways action & screeching tyres!

Definition: Car drifting is caused when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa, also known as opposite lock or counter-steering).

Reviews

by Malcolm Shaw on Blank Business Name

As an introduction to open wheeled single seater race cars I think this experience is excellent. The car was awesome, The event was well organised and ran like clockwork.

I learned a lot from being able to watch back the onboard video and can’t wait to have another go.

Recommend buying extra laps as once you get into it you won’t want to stop

I had a brilliant time. Many thanks to all at MTech Lite
