Before you come:

  • Please check your car against all of the rules.


  • Make sure you have the control tyres fitted and a legal 19 - 27turn motor.


  • Precharge some batteries. Mains will not be available so bring a 12v charger.


  • Don't forget a set of grip tyres if you're trying your luck in the Time Attack.

Miscellaneous Snippets

Please note that ALL completed entry forms for round 2 should be firmly in D1RC's hand by Thursday 20th July with payment. However, a limited number of entries will be accepted before 10am on the day (pre-booking ensures you have an exclusive crystal frequency!). If received, your name will appear on the 'confirmed entry' thread and you'll receive a pack before the event.

I will be handing out the entry packs (if needed) on the day to competitors. All sunstrips must be fitted to the top of your screen, or directly below any existing strips. Your entry number should be placed below the strip to the right side of the screen (see JT's Supra photos for reference).

You should arrive at the CMCC track between 8.30am and 9:30. Drift circuit opens for practice at 9am.

Please note that this round is being held on a new, £35,000 purpose built club track so offers superb track surface conditions and smooth curves that are ideal for competition drifting. The track is also large enough to provide a small seperate 2nd practice / set-up area and a full blown Time Attack circuit. A race report with photographs will feature in Radio Race Car International magazine.

To ask questions and speculate, visit the forum and help will be available.


How To Get There

Directions from the Colchester MCC Website

The track is located just off the A12 between Chelmsford and Colchester.
You can only access the Easthorpe turn off London Bound, therefore, if you are travelling from the Chelmsford direction, you have to exit Junction 25 and come back on yourself.

The track is about 1/2 mile from the A12, you must turn off on the Easthorpe exit and travel along the 'country' road. Take the 2nd 'exit' on the left through an entrance with a metal gate. There should be a sign up on the day.
