The most fashionable way to drive sideways these days is in drifting. It’s become massively popular worldwide and several motorsport competitors we know are now actively involved in drift championships across Europe. So does Ice Driver make a good venue to get some practice, tuition and experience drifting during the winter? Here’s what Belgian drifter, Pieter Van Hoorick had to say after coming to Ice Driver:
Dear Andy, Neill, Tim, James and Beefe,
I would like to thank you all for the fantastic two days I spend in Sweden last week. From the pick-up till the drop-off at the airport a few days later everything was perfect. The only thing I missed were some Sweedish blondes 
.
The hotel is really beautiful and the food was more than ok. Coming from Belgium, I know what good food tastes like…
But I was with Ice Driver to learn and to improve my drifting. The track was super: very variated with slower and faster sections, challenging in the sense that it is quite technical and it’s not easy to make a perfect lap. In the end I succeeded thanks to the professional built-up I got from Tim on the first day and thanks to Andy who on the second day fired me up a little and allowed me to get a bit more speed on the track.
What did I learn ? Firstly to drive on ice with very performant tyres, a whole new expierience for me but with this I got away quite easely. Left foot braking was not completely new to me but I learned to “place” the car in the corners and I got a lot of practice with LFB. I also learned and practised to have more contol of the speed which is very important in drifting. So, now I‘m curious and looking forward to see how I will do on a dry track.. That will be in two weeks at the Nürburgring (no competiotion, just free drifting).
Kind regards,
Pieter Van Hoorick
