Forums Forums Wirral Information What's On Wirral Review : 2nd Oct 05 : D1 Weekend Pics

Took some pics from the D1 at silverston over the weekend

Also got just over a mins worth of video if anyone can host it?? Its from the Saturday night, when they where practising, which was much much better than the actual comp on sunday, the drivers where more relaxed and throwing 5+ cars at the corner at the same time After seeing it on Sat night, Sunday was very very boring indeed, anyway, here the pics:

ChewySnack Shaking hands with Mr Nagata (Boss of Top Secret, and seen doing 200mph+ in Max Power "Beasts From The East" and general nutty guy:



RWD 500bhp Imprezza:



Phil Morrison, UK drift champ:



AE86 Corolla on the ramps doing an engine swap on the saturday. Guys where wearing white t-shirts, and they didnt get a spec of dirt on them. Also on inspection of the old engine, it was using a 5 Valve Cylinder head

Random 500bhp Evo 3:

He looks like a long lost relative of yours stuy

That corrola looks mental, really do like them Is that a fibreglass bonnet on it?

So you had a good time then? How did neil get on in his races?

That 5 door skyline is in the latest Banzai mag and that RX-77 is porn on wheels

It was an exelect weekend

Neil Qualified 1st by 1.2 secs, fluffed the start, dropped to 6th, but within 2 laps was back in the lead. Then, the only rain of the weekend came For about 3 mins we had heavy rain, now the starion spins the rear wheels in 3rd in the dry, and became really hard to drive in the wet (Spinning in everygear) and he dropped to, and finished 2nd.

The drift cars are awsome!!! However, they look very pretty in the pics, but get close up, and they are like patchwork quilts

All have bodged crashed bumpers, wings, sideskirts, and the stickers just hide the sins underneath. But they go very well, and from a distance look the dogs danglies

All the cars had fibregalss / Carbon fiber everything to keep weight down, bonnets, bumpers, wings, 1/4s, perspex windows etc...

The AE86's where having a little trouble round silversone due to the size of the track, and didnt really have the power like the turbo cars to hold a full drift unless they dropped it in to the corners really fast and on the 3rd gear limiter

Heres a better one of Mr Nagata with Neil

Everytime i see a picture of that Mr Nagata it looks like he's trying not to burst out laughin haha

Sounds like a good weekend, very envious of you, lucky get

Was there a big crowd?

Stu, you shou get that bonnet that Phil Morrison has got, looks evil

e-mail me the video stu scooby@cruisewirral.com

Looks like a great weekend mate

we didnt end up going stu i was to erm... hungover

it looks like a good weekend though

sad i missed it

think we are at the pod this weekend depending on how the MOT turns out

Funny thing is, we where racing on the saturday, and camped in the circuit. So, then on the sunday, we where already inside, and had the same access as people with the VIP access

Was a very good weekend, about 20k people turned up on Sunday, but in my opinion, the sat night was by far the best, and most relaxed night

Thanks for sharing those pics with us stuy

Well done to Neil too, 2nd on the day.

Is it an Anual Event Stuy?

Mr Nagata looks like Kerr in a few years lo..

Glad you had a top weekend.
And the VIP access to Silverton

Looks like you had a good weekend there Stu. From your photo's, looks like some really nice car there to...
